Next best thing to a bike

Bought my '94 YJ in 1996, when she had 26K on her. Now, thirteen years later, two motorcycles & a '57 Chevy truck, she is still my most reliable daily driver. She has 186K on the engine & still runs like a dream. She's mostly stock with some doll up stuff, like custom rims, Dueller A/T tires, & a sound system.

When I got married in '96, I only owned motorcycles, & living in Florida, had only driven motorcycles for years. So, failing to convert my wife into a two wheeled only person, I wanted a vehicle that was the next best thing in function as a motorcycle. The Jeep YJ was perfect; I can remove half of it & get an open road experience.

I don't plan on selling her; with the way Detroit is (not) making great vehicles anymore, I'd rather have the old model. I like the no frills, rugged ride, & no model after 1999 can compete with the reliability.
