I bought the 1989 YJ on 7/17/09 for $1500. Completely stock base model(5 speed, 2.5 I4, No AC, Power Steering, Top, etc.). Was sitting exposed to the elements for about 5 years. Cleaned it out very well, and did routine maintenance(replaced air filter, spark plugs, oil change, radiator flush, etc.). Had to repair an oil leak(valve cover, head gasket). Also had to get a new driver's side mirror and tail light to pass inspection.

Jeep YJ - $1500
Title & Registration - $124.25
Bestop Bikini Top & Windshield Channel - $84.98
K&N Air Filter - $48.70
Mirror - $40.98
Taillight - $44.92
Oil Change/Radiator Flush - $147.75

Last weekend some friends and I installed my Rough Country 2.5" lift. I already have the JKS 1.25 BBL and MML. The install went pretty smoothly except for one rusted shock bolt on the front passenger side. Thanks to the sawzal, it came off pretty quickly! The rear was a lot easier than the front. I got the track bar relocator to keep my rear axle centered. My front seems to be almost centered, so I'm gonna hold off on an adjustable track bar for now. The ride is about the same as before but I definitely notice that my calf hits the body when getting in as opposed to before. I have pics in my gallery if anyone wants to check it out!

Being a college student, I've got very little money. So I've decided to post a wishlist blog. These are most of the modifications I plan on eventually doing to my heep. These upgrades and improvements will help me to get in with trail riding groups and get to more places.

• Jeep Forum Support Fund
• Soft Top. I've got supertop hardware. Mine leaks very badly..
• 2.5/3 inch lift kit
• TJ Fender Flares
• Rocker Guards
• 4.0 Throttle Body
• Ford 19# Fuel Injectors
• TJ Soundbar
• Tow Strap
• Vent Scoop
• CB
• CB Antenna
• Fire Extinguisher
• Fire Extinguisher Mount
• Anything else you might want me to buy. Or give me. Lol

Feel free to let me know if I would need something else. I'm always open to suggestions. I'll only do some light trail riding occasionally. I've already got some 31" AT tires. I'll be crossing things off as I get them. Thanks Jeepers!
Happy Wheeling!
