AMC proceeded to create a compromise vehicle which would offer the traditional off road prowess of previous Jeeps, yet have a more civilized ride and better creature comforts. Thus the Jeep Wrangler YJ was born and first became available to the public in 1987. The Jeep YJ was being marketed to the younger potential Jeep buyer who was not interested so much in the off road abilities, or the rugged work horse history of the Jeep. This target group wanted a "daily driver", convertible topped, fun vehicle that ...oh by the way...could go off road and do 4x4 duty in inclement weather conditions if needed. Owning a Jeep Wrangler was fast becoming a status symbol for a broader range of the buying public including students, young executives and yes...women. The new YJ Wrangler was also selling like hot cakes with record sales throughout its 9-year model run. And, as to the question of whether or not the YJ could hold its own off road...this new design was great right out of the box...but more impressive was the almost unlimited (and easy) modifications that could be done by the enthusiast to make it even better. Although the die-hard enthusiasts of the CJ era took a while to warm up a little...the new Jeep YJ was to prove itself more than worthy of the Jeep moniker...especially on the trails. The 1987 through 1990 Jeep Wrangler YJ came with the 2.5L EFI (Fuel Injected) 4-cylinder, or the carbureted 4.2L 6-cylinder engines. The 5-speed manual or the 3-speed automatic transmissions were available depending on model, engine and option package. The Dana 30 front axle and the Dana 35C rear axles were standard and remained the stock axles throughout the YJ run. Also, during its production the YJ had some pretty cool trim packages and options such as the Sahara, Renegade, Laredo and Islander Editions.
