Oh and the headlights. Can anyone else bring up any talking points with the differences between the two? The TJ also brought about the introduction of the Rubicon model which was designed for hardcore off-road action. If you want a daily use Jeep and something that is also family-friendly, the TJ is the option for you. The smoother ride provided by its suspension makes it the ideal choice in this scenario as it was engineered to be more comfortable than the YJ.

The other major difference between the 2 models in the interior. The YJ has a very utilitarian feel to it with hard plastics and thin seats. The TJ underwent an interior makeover.

It has an entirely new dash with center console and better, more comfortable seats. That, coupled with the coil suspension transformed the TJ into a more modern and comfortable car. Regardless of the Jeep Wrangler you own, you are generally getting a great car with awesome off-road capabilities. But, if you ask me, a YJ is a better option as it gives you much more room in your budget for modifications. Are these scams??

Someone please reply. Just make sure you thoroughly inspect any vehicle you plan to buy, and that was my mistake. Yes unless its a salvage title or has serious mechanical problems.

Summary So, the TJ wrangler and the YJ wrangler are actually very similar other than the suspension set up. As a side note, I think an XJ Cherokee is a better option than both of them. The CJ was lightweight and incredibly Spartan, both mechanically and when it came to the interior. Really, they were all about getting through tough terrain and not much else.

It was such a solid design and the vehicle was largely unchanged through the model year, which was when the first of the Wranglers was launched. The biggest thing you should know about the YJ is that it was a redesign of the legendary CJ. They came with a stiffer frame, which helps with durability, plus the rear seating area has more protections.

Stability was also improved through the use of wider front leaves in the suspension, plus a winder track and body. That being said, the suspension is a little lower, so fitting a YJ with big tires requires lifting the vehicle or cutting away at the body more than on the CJ.
