About The Jeep Wrangler YJ
Introduced by American Motors Corporation (AMC) in 1987, the Jeep Wrangler YJ was designed to offer a more comfortable on-road experience without compromising its off-road prowess. Replacing the CJ series, the YJ featured a wider track and reduced ground clearance, enhancing stability and handling. The most noticeable change was the adoption of square headlights, a departure from the traditional round design, giving the YJ a distinctive look.
The YJ retained the rugged body-on-frame construction and leaf spring suspension of its predecessors but introduced trackbar suspension links and anti-roll bars for improved safety and handling. Produced until 1995, the YJ solidified its place in Jeep's storied history, bridging the gap between the classic CJs and the more modern Wranglers that followed.
