Best Generation of Wrangler?
- Thread starter NKlekas
- Start date
I liked my LJ so much, I bought a YJ a few months ago to complement it.
It’s too early to judge the YJ; I’ve reduced the lift, shrunk the tires, replaced the entire exhaust system among other things to brink it close to stock. I’m in the middle of replacing the rear driveshaft u-joints, and carpet from ACC will go in soon.
I really enjoy the old character of the YJ, even the “buzzzzzzz” of the seatbelt reminder. I like how bare-bones it is. No one can convince me that a TJ/JK/JL is more “classic” because of round headlights.

I love my TJ but...
The newest version is best. Things get improved upon even if some people refuse to believe it.

I agree 100% that the newest version is the best. There's a reason that they are moving in the direction that they are moving. If a person wants a Jeep with very nice road manners, a car like ride and lots of gadgets and electronics, the newest one is definitely the way to go.
For what I use my jeep, the newest is not the best, in fact I would consider it a liability

The TJ is the first jeep that I've owned but driven others and still went with a TJ but now I am thinking of selling it for a LJ
Same here. If I get rid of the TJ someday, I would buy an LJ. I’m really not a fan of the JKs and JLs. As others have said, I like my straight six and the simplicity.
The Jerk? I love that movie. Been a long time since I watched it. Probably watched it around 50 times as a kid.

Yea I bought my TJ knowing it would turn into a trail rig, at the time I couldnt find a LJ and if I did it was just a bit out of my price range. My TJ is great its got a Dana 44/Dana 30 both locked and nice mods all around. Now I just have to decide to let this go so I can find an LJ
It's best at attracting a demographic (women) to keep the brand alive.

For me, this was the best generation of Wrangler...
