I bought a 1990 YJ in 97 with 69K miles. It was a 5 speed with a 4 cylinder. I used to drive it on the highway all the time. I had it over 100mph quite often (that is the hillbilly speed limit in Northern NH LOL) The only issue I ever had with it was not being able to have a cup of coffee in it without spilling it. I put 125K miles on it over 6 years then my son drove it for 2 years before he left for the Marines. At 230K miles it still looked and ran great. No rust, no major issues. It needed a clutch when I bought it and the front rotors had a recall but it was due for brakes then anyhow so that saved the labor cost of a front brake job.

[@vigilantemotors]

Nothin wrong with the great state of NH and especially the north country. Nice to hear there are still some YJ's up there getting around

Jeep just needs some love. I drove mine for 10 years before it was stolen. Had a 78 cj7 and a 95 yj and built a few new ones. But a Jeep is a whole new experience compared to you're local car . You will learn allot from owning it and love it.

I had a 1991 Geo Tracker and bought new out in the burbs of Chicago. I moved back to the far north side of Houston. My brother and I decided to go visit my Grandmother in San Antonio. On the way there I had the sunroof part of the softtop flipped back but still had the rest of the softtop on. Halfway to SA I got pulled over by the Texas Highway Dept and I pulled over and asked what was wrong? He said I caught you doing almost 100 mph. I started laughing. He said it's not funny and I said your exactly right the only way I was hitting 100 was falling off a cliff especially with the top open. The top might as well be a parachute to slow me down. Anyway he said he could have mixed us up and after checking my license, reg, and insurance he let us go. 100 mph? Those things had like 89 hamster power. I got stuck in a ditch and my friend pulled me out with his four wheeler. Man it would shake going down the freeway. By the time we got where we were going I had rheumatism and no fillings in my teeth.

I started out driving a Wrangler in the 90s and now have another one - as a toy - of the same approximate age as the first one. I really enjoy the ease at which the Jeep can be diagnosed and repaired by myself versus the extremely complicated modern vehicles. I do not feel the Jeep is particularly prone to breakdown versus some of the other brands I have driven (Mitsubishi, Audi, Kia, etc.).

Truth be told, they're prone to breaking down when you use them for mudding or rock crawling. But that's true for any vehicle used for that.

P.S. O.K., I've got it. The Jeep's present owner is your grandson. That's great, Scotty. My wife and I spent a month on the Mainland this past summer. We put 3,750 + miles on the rental car we drove. We had two rental cars on our trip, one for four weeks. That was a 2021 Grand Cherokee with 3.6 gas engine. Our second rental car, which we only had for the three days we were visiting my sister and her husband in San Diego, was a 2021 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport. We love Jeeps. To my wife and I, but, of course, more to me, Jeeps are part of our family. An essential part. Keep up the great work with your KZbin Channel, Scott. Andy McKane, 6 October 2021.

I've had two DJ-5s which I bought from the post office for $600. When the first one died, I got another, also for $600. That's how much I liked them. For those of you who do not know, the DJ-5 is a Postal Jeep. The 1975 models I had came with an inline 6 engine. One of the spark plugs was practically unreachable because it was right up against the cab wall. I don't know what you call it. Another problem was that the DJ-5 requires 18lbs of pressure in the front tires and 26lbs of pressure in the rear. I discovered this the first time I had to put air in the ties. Eventually I replaced them and told the guy who put the brand new tires on NOT to put the standard 35lbs in them. He didn't listen to me, which I found out the hard way as soon as I pulled out of the tire shop. The vehicle was all over the road... no traction at all almost like driving on a slick track. Not only was the info in the vehicle's manual but also on a on a steel plate attached to the dash. Even so, I loved those little 'Light Utility Trucks' and which I had one to day, right hand drive and all.

[@mikekokomomike]

Rode in friend's CJ5 with 304 V8, going down highway about 40 mph on fresh falling snow, he did something caused the jeep to do a 360 or two before it straightened out. A pucker moment. Around 1979. Short wheelbase I think caused it.

[@ronv6637]

He's afraid of them? Some people are not competent to do more than clutch the steering wheel in a death grip and never look more than 2 feet in front of them(mirrors?check your blind spot? Use signals?lights on in rain/night?get out of the left lane?not slam on the brakes at green lights?stay in a lane?park?parallel park?). If you are incompetent call someone to drive you miss daisy. Jeeps require slightly more than minimal ability and minor attention. The real reason he doesn't like them is they are straight forward,decently engineered,don't break unless abused,readily repaired and mostly owner maintained(no $ for him). What he didnt mention is the steer axle ujoint and all the rest are the same(keep 1-2 and some tools,easy fix),always have a spare starter and alternator(it's a jeep thing,you wouldn't understand),if you break something upgrade to better parts. 10mpg? Not even with a highly modified v8,gears,really big tires and loaded for camping unless it is way out of tune and improperly driven 15-20mpg city highway. Don't forget as Jerry said "she can jump like a Willy's in 4wd"

Seems that people expect all of them to be money pits straight out of the factory Now, after a certain point in time after chrysler got a hold of the name, that's a different story and a different jeep. Just don't buy someone Bubba always fixed himself and you should be just fine.

[@donniefronterhouse7793]

You might be mostly right. Jeep Patriots are junk just like most Chrysler products are junk just like the PT Cruiser etc. I truly believe the old AMC Jeeps were well built.

[@michaelsorenson3887]

@@donniefronterhouse7793 agreed, patriots are junk in my opinion. You "can" get a "good" one if it's been taken care of and such, but it still is not to the level of AMC and prior.

[@tripleseven8361]

If you take care of them, they last forever…(Unless they get stolen, like my original ‘86 CJ-7)…

[@randomoldguy3967]

Actually that motor would benefit by adding a 4 barrel with the proper cfm for that size motor, and would get better gas mileage. That being said, a CJ that is in proper driving condition will run on the interstate just fine. I know because I have owned several back in the day. I saw that particular pos Jeep on Marketplace, and someone should have talked him out of buying it.

It looks cool. You have to start over with it. It would be a great Sunday cruiser. The flat fenders usually mean its older.

[@danescholl7184]

Ive been drivin a Jeep, and I mean a real Jeep, everyday since I was 17. And for me, they are the only thing I would consider driving as a daily. All American, 4wd, convertible, easy and cheap to fix makes up for the gas usage, and they are very dependable. I drove a cj5 everyday for 7 years, has a 258 straight 6, went from ny to fla pulling a trailer, went the highway the whole way. Love it, still have it. Also have a tj for comfort reasons lol but remember this, the Jeep will go anywhere forever, just depends on if you will, lol they aint for everyone, but they are for me. Great vid, keep it up.

[@roboticunclephil]

the tj is not gonna hold up like a cj

[@patrickstar1439]

Mechanics hate old Jeep’s,because the owners can fix them themselves.

[@jimmyjoejeeter2366]

Scotty your videos are the BEST! I would own another MGB sport car, if you were my mechanic! Is any year more dependable, my 1972 was always in the shop, I never got around to putting in a radio in 4 years, that I owned it, because something was always going wrong with it! If I won the lottery I would buy 3 or 4 of them to have for spares!

[@Alaska_Gal]

OMG I don’t even own a Jeep & this review was awesome & hilarious! Love your expressive hand gestures. First time viewer. Keep it up. 👍🏼

[@joracer1]

My 98 tj... got 20mpg, went anywhere, and was easy to work on. Even thought I didn't need to work on it, it was very dependable. I've owned several all of them were dependable, and easy on gas. You got a bad example of a jeep that jeep is worth $500 not $3000... 06 was the last year for a good jeep, 87 the last year for a great jeep. And willys jeep were by far the best.. Jeeps were prone to rust because the people that bought them loved to play in the mud and didnt care to keep them clean. I have a 57 willys cj6 its not something you want to drive down I77 but it will still be running after any new car or suv, has been scraped.

2018 JL Rubicon 2DR Standard 64k km Defective steering stabilizer Rear main seal leak (2x) Phaser 'failure' Locker system wiring ziptied too tight from factory, broken wires triggering dashlight warnings ( this issue was checked at several dealerships, and ultimately, they refused to honor the warranty, and did not fix the issue in over 6 visits, 3 different dealerships, claiming it was everything from the PCM to a sensor in the diff... I fixed the issue myself in 15min, the day my warranty was up....) Defective clutch ( mentioned off - record by dealership staff before recall, staff said "clutch feels kinda weird" this was within 15k km , recall issued on clutch later , taken for "test" clutch reported as fine, and I walked away with what may be a busted input shaft... ) Yea it is a love - hate relationship. I love it so much, I gotta get rid of her...

[@JustRusting]

Scotty, it's a Jeep thing you wouldn't understand. And neither do I ! And I own one. It's up there with the Harley Davidson and Corvette in my garage. You will always be working on something that will never really be fixed.

[@thomasgarrison3949]

Noted a lot of old Jeeps are not safe @ now highway speeds, but the new Jeeps they are great. I love my new 2021 Sarge Green Jeep Wrangler unlimited sport with a 8 speed automatic transmission & a 2.0 turbo engine, I get 26 MPG combined highway/city. It also drives nicely @ 70 MPH (113 km/h), not as smoothly as a Lincoln Continental, but I would kill all cars & most SUV's on the Rubicon Trail, but not my trail rated Jeep, when in 4WD low!

[@lotus956]

Remember people. Scotty thinks a Miata is a nice sports car. That says it all.

[@SchoologyGames]

My mother had a 2002 Toyota solara that she drove for years and she puts more miles on cars than anybody I know. It had over 300k on it when she sold it to some Mexicans for a couple grand (it was still super clean). Funny thing is I still see that solara around town here and there, just chuggin along!

[@GodsloveMuzik]

Jeeps and any American names are like McDonald’s. They’re best hot/new. Anything besides that, you better know a mechanic or have one as a friend.

[@stuartbear922]

The later Wranglers (90s) were much safer than the CJs.

Yeah, those Jeeps are all over the road when driving them. I'll never forget driving my buddies Jeep way back when; it was awful!, but great fun in the woods!

[@maximillianexcaliber6593]

Check the recommended tire pressure for the vehicle. Forget about what the tire manufacture says that's a generic recommendation. All vehicles don't weight the same. See my post above.

[@SS-kg2pe]

It probably needs new tierods and a steering box adjustment

[@nottelling4828]

My dad had an old CJ-7 back in the late 70s (I think) through early 90s. Seeing the interior of the jeep in this video really brought back memories. He only used it for off-road fun, especially when we went to the woods. It eventually rusted out, but the engine still ran on it up to its dying day.

[@TemperTemper...]

I would remove that fan off of the front of the vehicle for safety reasons. You don't want some little kid coming up and sticking his fingers in it while you are idling.

[@HisWordsAreTruth]

Safety is highly overrated

[@jvogler_art4708]

For a jeep toy id get the keep XJ Cherokee with the 4.0 straight 6. Solid front axel, highway ready, endlessly upgradable... it’s like a cheaper 4Runner. Cheaper in both price and build quality but maybe even more off-road capable out of the box than the 4Runner

[@567Kriss]

Both my car accidents involved a Jeep. Both were in my Prius. First Prius was an 02 with 54k miles. Totalled. Second one, an 07 with 117k with 1,400 in damage 🥴... Oh and the Jeep? Literally a scuff on the bumper. BOTH of them. and neither accident was my fault... I love Jeeple 🤢

I work on my jeep. The only thing I really hate is the guy who had it before me took a hammer to it and left holes and cracks in the engine. Not to mention manufacturing welded the bolt into the frame that hold on the leaf spring. So I have to angle grinde the thing out🤦‍♀️

[@justincase1575]

I’ve had jeeps starting with a 48 cj2. The yes and thank were just fine on road. I had 25600 miles on my 93 yj and had two tjs. Both had 1/4 million miles and were some of the easiest cars I’ve had recently to work on. Now the new ones? Not so much. They are junk!

Back in my VFD EMT DAYS I met a woman who had been driving a Camry through our narrow twisty canyon when her airbag fired. She kept it on the road, but she looked like someone had smacked her with a board. Those things are no joke. (Husband was a lawyer and he was NOT happy.)
