Cool stuff. In ‘87, I bought one of the first new “Wranglers” to hit the lot at Love Ford, on Inwood at Lemon, in Dallas. It was white with black trim, black interior and black hard top. I had black “running boards” added by the dealer, to carry the front fender flares to the rear flares. It also had the radio delete (I added one later), factory air, six speed, etc. A years later, I put a Bestop Soft Top on it, and stored the hard top. I ended up driving on most weekends when we went out to our favorite places to party Adairs/Stans/Late Night/Clearview. I got to know lots of people because of that Jeep. Good times.

Other than that color, that YJ really reminds me of being a kid. I’ve owned ten jeeps, 4 or 5 have been a YJ. Fantastic time capsule of a YJ you have

This brings back some memories. I had a 88 yj, black with gray soft top half doors and the denim black and gray seats. 4.2l carbed, 5 speed (stupid BA10/5) and factory center console, power brakes, power steering. It only had 23k on it in 2004 when it got T boned. Also had a 90 comanche eliminator, red with factory buckets 4x2 4.0l 5 speed (again with the BA 10/5 that I swapped for a AX-15(only work other than oil changes ever done to it)) no A/C and or radio (original owner never installed 1 and neither did I). Bought it in 2000 and drove it for 9 years, truck had 390K on it when the pinion bearing locked up and launched the drive shaft through the bed. Man the Jeep bug has been bothering me lately, guess it time sell a cummins and to get serious about buying.
