Today we bring you a 1987 Jeep Wrangler YJ Sport.

This one appears ready to go muddin' and it has a Warn winch, 4-inch lift, and 33-inch tires. There's a selectable locker and over-axle steering kit.

Underhood is a 6.2-liter mill with two-barrel carburetor. It has four-wheel disc brakes and a rebuilt transfer case.

It has a soft top and bikini top.

I am just scratching the surface here, there's more -- I am saving it for the click-through for the sake of brevity.

Tim Healey

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I like jeeps - however, I prefer wranglers with round headlights and coil springs. This one is probably a back-breaker.

SLAVUTA WILL BE LONGING FOR THIS KIND MODERN ENGINEERING ONCE THE TROLL FACTORY IS SHUT DOWN AND ALL EMPLOYEES ARE SHIPPED TO THE FRONT LINES.

3-On-The-Tree Our MRAP’s in Iraq were Maxx Pro’s. They were International’s and as driver we ran them petty hard up in Mosul. Never had an issue with them. Kept us safe had an IED go off behind us. Rough ride and too heavy.

Add Lightness Had a Volvo brick wagon 34 years ago that would probably still be going strong today if it didn't spend the first 8 years of life in salt country. The Mercedes W123 should be the all-time winner for longevity, again, as long as it doesn't live in salt country.
Ajla I don't think I've ever kept a vehicle more than 5 years. I have bought a few vehicles where the original owner (or widow of the original owner) kept them over 10 years. My former Dodge Diplomat had spent 23 years with the original couple. But, most people I know keep their new cars about 10 years and their used cars until they die in a heap (so anywhere from 2-15 years).
FreedMike Had a '93 Mazda Protege that lasted me from 1993 to 2005, and died of decrepitude. Also owned a 2003 Buick LeSabre from 2010 to 2020.
