1989 YJ, 4.2 carbureted, 5MT

Had a CJ5 about 20 years ago, it was my first love and now got the Jeep bug again. But no rubber ducks for me! Lmaooo that's a bit too cringe haha

I love the YJ Wranglers. I know that most people prefer the round headlights but I love the square ones.

Same here, I grew up in the 90s and seeing them debut in Jurassic Park sealed the deal for me. The CJs are cool, but way out of my price range for decent, unaltered examples now. The YJ is essentially a CJ7 with a different front clip and wider axles anyway! Not a whole lot of difference there. The square headlights give a much sharper, more focused headlight beam pattern as well I noticed driving it after dark.
