Everyone loves the Jeep Wrangler -- but most people only know the recent Wrangler models. Today I'm reviewing a pristine, low-mile Jeep Wrangler Renegade from 1993, and I'm giving you a tour of this perfect YJ Wrangler.

If doug gets arrested he will start filming the quirks and features of the policecar backseat
*points at the bullet resistent windows* I bet your car doesn't have that!
And give it a doug score
shoulda made it a "douge the type of guy..."
*Here's why the Ford Crown Victoria P71 Police Interceptor is worth $1500*
Best one yet
As a YJ owner, Doug messed up some stuff here, though I think he did a great job explaining what it feels like to drive. They are actually "peppier" than you'd expect with the 4.0L thanks to a respectable 225 lb-ft of torque, which isn't half bad on a ~3000lb vehicle.
1. The AC-equipped Wranglers did have front vents, but most didn't have the AC option. However, if you drive one in the cold, you quickly realize the YJs have an absolute blast furnace of a heater, and you'll be very toasty in no time. I actually had to crack the windows a bit in a snowstorm as it was getting so warm inside.
You also sit very close to the windshield, so you can feel the defrost vent under the windshield. You really don't need dash vents to be comfortable.
2. They might have updated the horn in later years. My 1995 has a Hella-style snail horn, and it's plenty loud, with a “commanding” tone.
3. I think that Jeep was missing a bunch of interior carpet. The should have been carpet all around the rear fenders, under the rear bench, and under the door sills. Yes, the YJs are very basic, but that one looks a lot more bare than mine.
4. As other people have said, that "blank gauge" is an indicator for when the Jeep is in 4WD. Early YJs had an analog clock in that spot and a 4x4 indicator in the dash. In later years, the stereo had a digital clock, so they deleted the analog clock and moved the 4x4 indicator to the now-empty gauge pod. Probably just a cost saving thing.
5. He should have gotten into the back seat on the passenger side. The entire passenger seat frame swings forward and makes getting to the back a piece of cake. Since it's the frame that moves, none of the passenger seat adjustments are changed. On later years, the seats changed from the dial tilt to a lever tilt, and on my YJ Sahara, the driver's seat has a latch on the back that instantly tilts the seat back forward for getting into the back on that side if you really need to. It looks like the older years can't do that though.
I have a 1995 as well and was thinking the same things
I had a 1990 4- banger, then a 1993 sport straight 6. I was yelling at my screen as the review was going on!
- directly behind the button for the door buzzer you can see the wire connection to the switch. Disconnect the wire there...shazam! No buzzer and no foot lights. Why? To remove the doors! Just unscrew one screw on the bottom hinge, pull upon door. Both my YJs had the half doors and zipper windows. Loved them!
Also, both my YJs had carpet over the metal shifter plates.
The blank gauge in my old one was a clock. Now I'm wondering if that was put in as aftermarket.
@@ktwhite46 No, the earlier YJs had a clock. Later YJs had a digital clock in the stereo deck, so they moved the 4x4 indicator from the steering column light to that gauge location you can see in the video. My 1995 is the exact same way.
I don’t know what the fuck dougs talking about. I got a 90 YJ with 5 vents and a full set of gages. And I don’t think I’ll ever mistake the e brake for the clutch.
Watching doug climb into the back through the driver side was like watching an old drunk guy try to walk up the down escalator. The passenger seat moves forward about a mile with a simple lever pull, its actually very easy to get into the back.
“The steering wheel does contain the horn” wow thanks doug I thought the horn was in the backseat
A real bisexual petrol-head went right over your head didn’t it
A real bisexual petrol-head I can’t tell who’s being sarcastic at this point
To be fair floor mounted horns aren’t super uncommon in older vehicles
@@jimmygee3219 my friend couldn't find the horn in his cj7 until he looked under the speedo
@A real bisexual petrol-head in my friends 1966 pontiac catalina his horn is a button under the dash to the right of the steering wheel
The "blank gauge" is actually where the "4WD" indicator lights up when you are in 4WD. And the buzzer is easy to fix by disconnecting the switch. Source: former YJ owner.
imgur.com/a/8iiDu Found a picture I took a few years ago.
Was looking for this comment. I figured some light had to be there.
I'm trying to remember if there was an indicator for something on the bottom half too, but it's been a few years now since I sold it. That's one of the few vehicles that I genuinely regret needing to sell.
One of the first things I did with my YJ was pull out the buzzer. It just plugs into the fuse panel if I'm remembering right.
In my 89 it is a clock
Thats not a blank gauge. That is an indicator of whether or not the 4wd is engaged
The fact he mentions over and over the amazement of a wrangler having exposed screws like it’s an alien! I don’t think he’s man enough to know that!
Its a jeep thing
mike Wolfe thank you this dude is a disgrace to jeep
Yep! Initially I thought it was nothing until winter hit and I got to use my 4WD
Doug's the type of guy who reviews an old Jeep and complains about the trim.
'A seemingly unending inventory of interesting and unusual cars'
Like 30 modern Porsches.
Was thinking the same thing... there was a lone 90s S-Klasse in there, but everything else was Porsches :)))
Well, being totally weird is unsustainable. You have to have stock that will sell easily to pay for those cars that’ll just sit until the right buyer shows up
Jay lenos lost son.
MbTech101 I came here from the mclaren f1 video.... also came during
Lol
Jay Leno is very bad
@@jmoney7289 same
😄😄😄
Doug the type of guy that washes his hands before he showers
Daniel Perez I do all the time
me too... after fap shower is a tradition
Daniel Perez of you take a shit or a piss and there is only body wash and not hand soap in the shower than you wash hands
then give it a doug score
Daniel Perez i would like but there are 111 likes, sorry
That "Blank" actually lights up when the 4WD is active
bin9 you can tell he dont no shit about jeeps lol
I know I was thinking the exact same thing
On some of the YJ's the blank gauge was also a clock.
9mm prior to 1990 I believe
Anyone else getting stormtrooper vibes from that Jeep’s look?
Oh crap I thought it was just me. Looks like a snow trooper !
Lol I'm looking to buy this same jeep and that was my thought exactly.
no, you soyboy
Yes!! Hahaha
No
That gauge is what lights up when you engage 4wd
Dude, you get in the back seat from the passenger side! The entire seat flips up and forward against the dash!
Most of his quirks are exaggerated for effect if not just flat out disingenuous. But its entertainment so whatever.
I like how he said that the back seat had no seat belts but when he opened the rear tailgate, there was seat belts for the rear passengers that were very visible...
Yeah I owned one if people got in the back seat. They had to get in on the passenger side. I guess he had never been around a jeep like this one to fully review it. The 4.0 engine best engine jeep had. Love to find a TJ Rubicon with the 4.0.
i just learned this. now i gotta go test it out.
or you can be like me and my friends and just climb through the back cause there is no back to my jeep's soft top
and btw, the "blank" gauge is actually a 4wd indicator! try to put the gearbox in lowgear
He just makes stuff up to make things "interesting" and "quirkie". Most of what he says is irrelevant
Beat me to it, my '95 Rio Grande was the same
jon3voltas that's exactly what he tried to do with the backseat entry thing, you were only supposed to use the passenger seat to get to the rear seats there's a lever that brings the whole seat forward easily. But I guess he has to find something that's quirky.
I saw that and was going to make another rant post but I stopped XD. It's a feature in every two door Mitsubishi/ Nissan/ Toyota 4WD vehicles or (SUVs or whatever they're called in the US) that I know of. And I've been in a lot of them from various years. They're all like that!
It's also a clock in some models with 4x4 showing up in the the drivers side of the dash where the warnings lights are
I love the exposed screws and such because it makes it so much easier to work on my car and upgrade certain features
That is not completely original. The Renegade seats were cloth and not vinyl like that one. The passenger seat would tumble upwards to allow passenger entry to the rear. Not the twisting action you had to do here which confirms not original seats. Also that carpet is not original which is why it is not covering the transmisión cover or rear area. It’s also missing the front steering box skid plate. As for the rear tailgate, the original one had a bumpstop next to the tail light which would stop the tailgate. Also, AC was available. In general it’s a great condition vehicle but not original.
I don't think the console is factory either.
@@paulfrantizek102 I'm pretty sure the console is Factory because I have the same exact one in my 93 Sahara Edition
hey thanks for the info. I heard from a longtime jeep salesperson that the renegade option was as big a failure as the liberty. What do you think? Doug seemed to like it.
@@SideOfHustle renagage was for posers. We sold a few but I snagged one of 2 we had in stock with a 4l. Then added what I liked. I could drift my wrangler.. which would end badly in a cj. Cataylitic converters failed constantly (not just a yj problem) and they did get wheel hop which tended to eat the spider gears if you street raced them. I only sold mine cause I moved to california and it really wasnt a practical highway vehicle.. soft top beating your head.. tires roaring. Gotta say I miss it as it was a hoot in the mud in louisiana
@@amandagayhart5412 you are correct that is a stock console. You could drill out the plug in the lowest part and make it an ice chest..
Doug is the type of guy to give his grandma's cooking a Doug Score
"It takes my grandma a couple hours to make 0 to 60 cookies so acceleration gets a one out of ten."
Houg dad gex with his grandma
Doug the kinda guy to say "bless me" after sneezing
😂😂😂😂
Doug is the type of guy to have a "type of guy" meme about him
O
Doug is the type of Guy to have a fan that says that he is the type of guy to have a “type of guy” meme about him
I had a 93 wrangler, it was one of my favorite vehicles! Traded it in at 274k miles. I still see some of the square headlight models in my area, still in good shape too!
People definitely treat older wranglers with respects which makes me happy. Still see a lot of them on the road. Solid vehicles.
A few still here in the Road Salt Belt of Chicago.
I can only imagine the amount of research and scripting that goes into these videos. The videos are basic but the commentary is by far the highlight of Doug's reviews. Always has me coming back
There's plenty of times Doug will mis-speak some aspect of a vehicle, miss some piece of history, or some other obvious thing so I doubt much "research" goes into it beyond some Google searches except for the cases of really special, exotic, cars or the owner of a rare/exotic car being particularly knowledgeable. Much of the time some of the things Doug says to "explain" aspects I take with a grain of salt if it sounds dubious to me and I do my own research. Most annoying to me is when he says things like, "no idea what this blank switch does" or "most people wouldn't know about this part of the vehicle" when anyone vehicle owner worth his salt reads through the owners manual and usually answers to questions like, "what switch is supposed to be here?" can be answered by looking in the owner's manual section on options this particular vehicle doesn't have.
But, overall, yeah, the videos are basic. Doug, most often to me, feels like the Cliff Claven of car commentary, this guy seems to know a lot, likes to talk, and some of the things he says sounds dubious but is still entertaining and fun to listen to. That what keeps me coming back, Doug just seems like a fun guy that loves talking about cars and "reviewing" them.
Brian Straight I don't go as far as saying that everything he says is 100% spot on. It's obvious that he does do a fair amount of research regardless of what you think. I myself create videos within the automotive field and know how time goes into not only researching and retaining the information but also presenting it in a entertaining way. And as far as scripting the video, he does it in a way that its educational and funny at the same time. Sometimes that can be challenging especially considering the length of all his videos. Anyways that's just my thoughts. You're free to have your own opinion
NP. I was just being.... "comedically glib" as there's been a few times Doug has said dubious and incorrect things that even I know the answers to, as a 'non-car guy" or easily found the answers to Online. I'm sure he does do a lot of research and, well, there's a lot of conflicting information out there, it's easy to miss things, etc.
But, regardless, he *is* able to do these videos in an entertaining way to come off as friendly and enjoyable to watch. He very much feels like a "car nerd" and you're seeing him geek out over something as silly as a 1990's Wrangler. It's fun.
But generally with almost anything I see/hear/read on-line I take any "facts" with some grain of salt.
Brian Straight I can see where you coming from. I take almost any information out on the internet with a grain of salt. Glad we share the opinion as far as finding him entertaining :)
Brian Straight You guys are so gay it's just a dude talking about cars
Doug is the type of guy to get out of the shower to take a piss
I've actually done that
ElectricDrums4Life why?
Andrew G. Cuz if the drain is clogged up, you'll be stepping in some warm piss
Ender King19
Dude i just pissed in the shower today and i forgot that my drain is slow going lately so i was standing in my own pee so it was only a little gross cause it was mixed with a lot of water and it was my piss so it wasnt to bad.
Tims World same, i forgot my drain was clogged up and I ended up slipping because of all the shit (literally) I was stepping on..
I love Doug’s enthusiasm for every car he reviews. He drives a Hellcat and he’s giggling and giddy the he drives this old Jeep and he’s giggling and giddy. Just shows a true enthusiasm for the vehicles and it is infectious.
Plus, his knowledge is great and truly informative.
The 'blank dial" turns on when you engage the 4WD
THANK YOU
@@paymustaylor4787 omg lol
What does it do?
@@theoriginalshew It's where the light comes on showing you're in 4 wheel drive. In earlier models there was a Porsche like clock in that spot.
Ikr Doug also AMC designed the car not Chrysler think about next time when you count how many crisps are on your onion rings
The passenger seat is articulated on these old Wranglers so that it lifts forward allowing access to the back. The drivers seat doesn't. It would have been far easier to get in from the passenger side. Also on the other trim levels of Wrangler there is a bracket that prevents the rear spare tire from hitting the tail light. On the Renegade the company that converted the Jeep left the bracket off as it would interfere with the "fender flares". Just some FYI.
On my 89 both seats flip forward
He does this with every fucking car. EVERY CAR IS DESIGNED TO PRIMARILY ALLOW REAR ACCESS FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE, DOUG, YOU FUCKING MUPPET.
On my 82 both seats flip forward, even though its a cj-7
I actually enjoyed the video quite a lot. I owned a 1991 Wrangler 4cyl soft top in satin denim blue. Really loved that bouncy Jeep, quirks and all!
Jeep still recommends passengers get into the rear of the JK through the passengers seat. It articulates forward more than the drivers seat does because it doesn't have to clear the steering wheel.
6:22 That's the 4-WD indicator light! From 1987-1991 there was an analog clock in the center hole and the fuel/temp gauges were in holes 1 and 2. 1992-1995 eliminated the clock and moved the 4-WD indicator from over the steering wheel to the top half of the first gauge hole.
Yep...
Its amazing how uneducated, and the fact he doesn't take the time really research these cars. Maybe he just makes up things to complain about to be dramatic.
In Doug's defense, he gets a whole lot correct, especially considering how many different vehicles he covers. Having owned 5 YJ's [and no newer Wrangler], I know a lot through experience. BTW, the model 1992 was the first year of the "family style" roll bar [slant CJ-style looks much better IMO].
Doug the type of guy that reviews a Jeep and keeps it in 2wd
I was thinking the same thing. After watching a few of the more regular cars he has reviewed I noticed how astonished he gets by just simple everyday GM/Mopar parts bin items that were on almost every vehicle from the time.
14:16
Actually, regular 4.0s had 178 HP at the time, high output gave you 190 HP.
All Jeep 4.0s from 1997 till discontinued in 2006 were made like high outputs and gave you 190 HP, and no long said “High output” and just said 4.0 L
The entire passenger seat move forward with a lever, much easier than how he did it😂
IT'S NOT A BLANK GUAGE, IT INDICATES WETHER YOU ARE IN 4 WHEEL HIGH OR 4 WHEEL LOW DOUG HOW COULD YOU SLANDER THIS MASTERPIECE OF A VEHICLE
he got a bunch wrong on this one, maybe he should have read the huge owners manual.
That Body Glove sticker on the hood makes it even more 90's rad.
awesome look out....but that's the cowl
JEEP DEALERSHIPS, BRING THAT MINIMALIST SIMPLICITY BACK
with better engineering!
And the $11,000 MSRP
Roger Rennenger it’s called the sport...?
WHY ARE YOU YELLING?
@@jakobdillard7593 BECAUSE THE OLDER JEEPS ARE NOW OVERPRICED, YOU CAN'T BUY A CHEAP NEW JEEP TO OFF-ROAD AND LIKE THE CLASS G JEEP IS NOW A LUXURY BRAND
That buzzer sounds like the emergency buzzer school bus emergency doors make when they are opened.
Probably because they are the same component.
Other people have to fly half a day to Geneva to film supercars to get 100,000 views or so on a video, Doug stays here and films a 25 year old Jeep and gets half a million views and destroy them. LOL 😂
It has to do with quirkyboi's professional and attractive take on automobile reviewing, he's simply the best.
Yup, he's just really good at it. Where most will test drive a car and describe what it's like to drive Doug takes the time to go through the car and explain what it would be like to actually live with it. I don't know of anyone else that goes into that much detail, and he it makes it fun.
yeah I really don't watch for doug he kind of a Downer and A Dick.I like the cars he reviews. that's why I watch. Just my opinion it doesn't really matter
He seems like someone trained in journalism. And since Yt has reached a saturation point, skills are starting to count again. (Im not really sure he's trained in journalism, but he has a structured approach to reviews, which, like a Big Mac burger, ppl prefer consistency to a better tasting burger that tastes different each time--because u know what you are going to get.)
Kurt Patterson can't remember his long exactly, but he's been an automotive journalist for at least 4 years, which is how long I've been following his work. I'd imagine it's longer though
That’s not a blank gage , it’s for when you turn on 4 wheel drive. When you do so a little image pops up in the gage
Riley Hinds doug, the type of guy who doesn't know a jeep has 4wheel drive!
this comment should be higher up.
Also most of this was designed by AMC/Jeep, not Chrysler.
Gage
I internal cried for a few reasons after watching this video. As long as I can remember my dad has always bought a Jeep. He refuses to buy anything but it. The first Jeep my dad ever bought was a ‘95 Jeep Wrangler rio grande edition. As far as exterior design, it didn’t exactly look like the renegade but the interior looks almost identical (but we had special seats that came in a neon jungle scratch design). Just by watching this I can smell the interior and feel the small ‘90s seats wrapped around me. Hearing the buzz of the door open warning sent a wave of flash backs from when I was little. I can just feel turning the ‘90s knobs on the old style radio, listening to a bad quality early 2000s song. All the dials and the look of the center consol made me extremely nostalgic.
I know no ones gonna see this but I just thought I would share this.
heh
It's ok, Dude. These y.t. videos are/have brought back memories of when my granddaddy would work on his LTD Country Squire wagon in the alley and me as a little squirt, and the family dog, would just hang in the backseat with the car up on the ramps until he finished changing the oil.❤😅😢 Back in the 70's...
I was "that guy." Bought a '95 Jeep Wrangler (YJ). Custom order in fact (4.0L straight six, 5spd manual, etc). Since that time, I've had a lot of really expensive cars, and to this day, it is still my favorite.
That “blank gauge” illuminates when you shift into 4H/ 4L...
Or is supposed to upon shift assuming your actuated doesn’t have a vacuum leak, haha.
Lol you guy must have owned a YJ. I feel the actuator pain too.
The earlier YJs had an analog clock in the center cluster that was removed when the gauges were Chryslerized in '92.
Eric Buist I actually am kind’ve fond of the clocks! Makes me miss my 89 Islander.
DPH1LLY Me too; I think the clock looks cooler than a "blank" panel, and when I drove mine daily I used it all the time.
Am I the only one that's bugged by tire shops not removing the blue crap when they install white-letter tires?
Its so you know its a new set
I've never had an installer do it but as soon as I get home it's the first thing I do, I remember when i unused to get white wall tires especially and couldn't wait to clean them.
Alan Velociraptor I also like it on the renegade matches it's style
I'm bugged by white letter tires in the first place, especially ones with white _outline_ letters like those. They all look gaudy. I always mount them on the wheels with the blackwall side facing out, which looks a lot better. Also, why would I want to advertise for a tire company? White letter tires originated on race cars, where it made sense, because they got sponsored by tire companies.
MaximRecoil I love the look of tires with white lettering. Would you strip the Jeep badges too? Why advertise for Jeep right?
Its hilarious to watch someone who isn't old enough to have memory of vehicles designed for basic transportation nor intuitive knowledge of same. There is nuthin funner than a jeep but I prefer nothing newer than round gauges and metal dash.
"How often do you do an oil change?"
"about once every 2 or 3 years"
"OMG THAT'S NOT SAFE DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW MANY MILES YOU GO IN A YEAR?????"
"around 1500"
"oh"
I"ve never been a big fan of those YJ Renegade packages. Ugly Fenders, Ugly Bumpers. But its a Jeep and still a great off road vehicle. Very cool to see how well that thing has been preserved!
+Red Rock Crawlers
Luckily all that Renegade crap was only cosmetic and is really easy to remove...
JeepCollector91 yes that's true
Red Rock Crawlers agreed as a former YJ owner it’s hard to keep a vehicle in that condition that sounds like your riding out a hurricane in a cheap Walmart tent driving down the road. But a YJ is the last “real Jeep” the TJ was the beginning of the death of Jeep. To the point my iPhone emojis the word Jeep 🚙..... 🤢👈....wtf is that?...
i like it
Push button hill assist ,touch screen garbage and air bags. You can keep your jk lol
Doug the type of guy that cuts a pizza into slices before baking it
DOUG!!! The fender flare, body kit on the renegade was designed for the Jeep 50 year anniversary, and is shared with the Wrangler Anniversary Edition. The two vehicles are identical, even available the same year (50th anniv.) Only difference is the badging. "Renegade" and "Wrangler Anniversary Edition." The Wrangler Renegade trim level continued to sport the fiberglass body kit for three more years, due to the popularity of the anniversary edition, which (obviosly) could not be offered after 1993. This was Chrysler Corporation (not yet owned by Marc Diambler) way of continuing to reap the benefits of the Wranghler Anniversary Editions popularity, after the anniversary had ended. Now you know...
Great video Doug! This jeep is perfect, not only simple but totally uncomplicated !
Doug, I had a Renegade that i purchased brand new. This example is not an authentic Jeep Renegade. Three things that stand out immediately are the missing front and rear skid plates, full carpeting and trail cloth fabric seats. Its a kit someone put on a regular YJ model. Also, the driver's seat didn't have a knob you'd turn to let someone in the back. There was a paddle style lever to adjust the seat. Otherwise, this is a great review.
Vin Mar I noticed the missing carpeting too. Half the things he pointed out as being "exposed" wouldn't have been if the factory carpeting was installed.
The skid skid plates were only on the early model. The carpeting and seats look like after market.
I thought it was weird that this thing was missing some options like air conditioning, full carpet, clock, nicer cloth seats, speakers in the roll bar, etc. I'm not an expert on Jeeps though, so maybe back then you could order the Renegade package without being forced into those options. On all the newer models though if you got the top of the line Sahara or Rubicon, it came standard with almost all the options.
Air conditioning wwasn't a factory option. It was a dealer installed option.
25 years ago? You're stretching it a bit there Dou- holy crap it is 25 years old
You're old Galdalf. I know you don't feel it.
This dude is so fascinated by simple stuff
It’s nice to see a YJ in pure form
I actually think the fuel cap hidden behind the plate is a great idea to keep the design clean. I hope they start doing those again.
i personally think that’ll make a comeback at some point.
FivePoint0 they did with the 96 impala ss
Its nice, until you realize you have to keep your hand on the gas nozzle, or the plate will squeeze it out, and filling it with a can is almost a two person job. Yj owner hear.
the blank gauge is for the 4x4, when u switch it on it lights up...
I love how simple the Jeep is. Plus with the dash and windshield being so close to your face the front defroster is really all you need
Doug's the kind of guy that when he passes another Jeep he doesn't wave. ☺
When my parents had a 1993 Jeep Wrangler my dad would wave at other jeeps
Doug is the type of guy to open a present by taking off the tape
TheGhostofMarley I do that
Same
Taking of?
How else are you supposed to open it? Tear it apart?
bios47 Yes... duh
The passenger seat of the YJ had a lever that moved the entire seat making entrance... as easy as possible.
james wieting Both of the seats on my 1988 Wrangler flipped forward.
Both seats flipped forward in my 1989 YJ
My 90 yj has both seats flip forward
My 91s seats flipped forwards
But by not mentioning the passenger seat Doug has another pointless "Jeep quirk" to fill a minute of video with.
Both seats in my '87 flip forward but I think only the passenger side did on later YJs, probably changed to save money.
I'd welcome exposed screws in my car. Having just installed front and rear dashcams, it would have made it a hell of a lot easier to hide those cables. It was a nightmare!
I love these! I've only seen a few totally stock Jeeps like this in my life.
The "blank gauge" is the 4X4 indicator. It lights up when you shift into 4x4.
jpboileau it still looks blank
Can confirm i drive a 92 yj everyday.
It used to be an analog clock until someone figured out it wasn't a luxury car.
Doug is the type of guy that eats a candy bar with a knife and fork
If you ever have a 🔺 vent window youll wish every car had one
Passenger side has seat release latch
😆
Doug the type of guy to pay $60 000 for a low mileage 1993 Jeep Wrangler
Can you get a bumper to bumper warranty for a 1993's car?
David Henning no
The non renegade looks so much better imo
I love it. When I see a Renegade, I think of John Travolta in the film Blow Out. The wipers placement would drive me crazy
Along similar lines, I had a coworker who had a same era Jeep "Islander". It was bright red with the orange and red graphics package and I have to admit I absolutely loved the color combo and the styling that the added fiberglass and trim parts added to the baseline "ho-hum" looks of the standard Wrangler. Jeep had several up-styled equipment packages and the "Islander" and the "Sahara" (especially the latter in the gold/bronze theme) were my favorites. I myself owned a 1997 XJ Sport (LOVED that little beast!) and now an old-school 2001 WJ Limited. 🚙
I think Doug really hit on something in this video. jeeps, miatas ect were 3rd cars and were just for fun... that's not a concept that exists anymore. this actually explains an awfull lot
I'm not saying you can't daily a car that is more on the impractical side. but companies don't bring anything to market that's more fun then it is outright practical.
There are very few "just for fun" cars out there, the sti is one of them imo
I don't know, there's a lot of people out there who daily stuff like this. Technology has advanced quite a bit since the early 1990s. People just weren't used to the comforts we enjoy today in modern cars. And honestly, I'd still daily something like this because they are super simple and super reliable and super easy to repair.
Used to have a Tj and it was the greatest thing ever
Doug the type of guy to start 90% of his videos with the word “this”.
Jake Terch THIS is so true
Jake Terch THIS is so annoying
Extra air to cool you down on a cool day lol 😂😂
Dougster’s back!!! Hey , I gotta tell you it’s awesome that you did the renegade... that inline 6 is bulletproof, thank you champ😺
When Doug calls Wayne Knight in Jurassic park “Newman” his character in Seinfeld
Hah, I didn't even notice that. But yeah he was Dennis Nedry in Jurassic Park
I laughed out loud when he called him Newman.. classic!
Maybe he loves Seinfeld. Extra DougScore points for Doug.
Doug is the type of guy to own only sporks
doug the type of guy to tell people why they get a higher doug score than conventional cutlery when he invites them over for drinks

Odious Ktenology stfu
You hit it on the head. These were more like happy companions than anything else. I had an ARMY jeep that was just like that. It would take you quite literally anywhere you wanted to go and was excited to do it. Great observation Doug. The new jeeps have all lost that. The new 2-door Wrangler is as close as you can get, but it's not the same.
I used to hate these. I had a Grand Cherokee, and a Cherokee (ZJ, XJ) and had only ridden in a Wrangler once. It was a soft top and during the winter time it felt like I was in a tent going 70 down the freeway. Loud inside, the plastic windows were fogged up. It was rough..... Then I found good deal on one and got it to flip. I only drove it once and I was in love. This one was a hard top. When I put it in reverse and looked over my shoulder, I was essentially looking at the ground right behind me thanks to the short little wheel base. I sold my other Jeeps and the YJ is now my favorite. There is just something about it that needs to be experienced to be fully understood. They're perfect
what year is your YJ? I'm looking at a 94'
Doug the type of guy who's email's still Yahoo
lovegadgets hey mine is
*aol
Mine is
Bellsouth*
@@danielcastaneda7801 bellsouth oh my. Now that is one that i forgot.
13:14 in case of fire, the rear seat is a trap...
i think you can escape thru the back door
as with every two door
Kick the Roof off :D but in a roll over the rear passenger will be punctured by sharp broken fiberglass :D death in assured for back seat riders :D
My YJ has paddles on the front seat frames that flip the seats all the way forward in one quick movement, leaving much more room to get into the back. Not sure why this one has fixed seat frames.
Eric Buist mine does as well but only on the passenger side. May have been an add on. Hard to tell. Either way I laughed at his struggle.
Doug i love your reviews. I watch them when im in the restroom defacating.
I would definitely say it’s a fun feeling jeep!! I love my 95 and will never sell it!
I bought a brand new Jeep Wrangler Sport in the summer of 93. For $11,700. Top that Millennials. Of course the stereo was stolen out of it while I was watching Jurassic park at the theater, but I replaced it and the Pearl Jam cassette shortly after.
I had an old Taurus in the 90's and just got to the point where I'd leave the window far enough down to unlock the door so they'd stop busting out windows and jamming screwdrivers in the key slots. Too bad I didn't just stop buying new stereos.
How are we supposed to top that? It isn't our fault shit is so expensive. In fact, it's yours.
adjusted for inflation it should be roughly the same price as a new renegade. soooo
I can't f***ing top that I don't have enough money.
I have a 50k miles Crown vic for $5,000 cash and am only 20 top that dinosaur
Hey Doug, the front passenger seat moves really far forward (almost hitting the windshield) when folded up. The driver seat doesn’t fold at all for some stupid reason.
I have an 89 YJ and both my seats swing forward, but neither recline, maybe the difference, owned it 23 years
my driver seat doesnt go down either :\
My 88, both swing forward, and both recline back. It doesn't have the knob style recline control, it has the lever.
As a previous owner of a '94, first of all, that Jeep is missing its carpet. I believe every Wrangler above the very base model had the same indoor/outdoor carpet that was held in by velcro. It was easily removed for hosing the interior. It even covered over the rear wheel Wells.
Second the blank gauge is actually a light that lets you know if 4wd is engaged and if you're in 4wd low, if memory serves me correct.
Lastly, the passenger side seat flips forward with a lever. It's not made to get in back on the driver side.
hmm..Both our YJs have a passenger seat that lifts up and forward for rear access...I guess the Renegade was different? (I have a feeling not)
It's the same he is an idoit.
Love how he let the door bounce on the Fender @ 5:48. I'm sure the company/person that lent you the vehicle enjoyed that "interesting quirk"
He held it the whole way, what's going to happen?
Kzero no the mirror bounced off the cowl multiple times
Barely touched. Get real.
It's a jeep pussy.
Lmao 😂
I think you should revise your "importance" category because it's always either "they barely made any, so it holds no importance" or "they made a billion of these, so it holds no importance"
I drive a basic rusted 93 model and it really feels like stepping into a time machine with how basic it is. It may not look pretty but I do have a smile driving it around and I laugh at newer shiny wranglers with all their accessories. Not as rugged looking as mine.
And the new Wrangler drivers don't wave! That bugs me, I love my YJ
I knew a guy who bought one of these back then! He found it to be a more sensible, more comfortable alternative to the old 60s MG he had been driving for years prior.
Different times!

Well now... Porsche, Porsche, Jag, Porsche, Porsche, Merc, BMW, Porsche, Porsche, Porsche, Porsche, Porsche, Porsche...
Why do I imagine RCR's voice with your comment?
Jurassic Park’s theme song *starts playing in the background
No need for one Astrix *stop using one*
Wrong year Jeep, but yes lol
I have the Sahara Edition wrangler used in the movie
Also Macgyver. Wrong year and type but...
Doug should do a review of a Ford Explorer used in the movie.
I give Doug a "Doug score" of -10 when he reviews jeeps. He doesn't know Doug shit about them.
fun review, but Doug comes up with many non factual conclusions.
I wonder how it would compare to a Landrover Defender of the same year?
He said in his Oversteer article that this Jeep felt better than his Defender, which is a 1997 model
Wait someone reads his oversteer articles?
Dog Smoke
I only read one on a car I was interested in acquiring... More than a year ago.
Quite basic also, but the JEEP is easier to drive and more comfortable from what I know.
@CerealBro1 : Thanks man, hadn't read the article.
I've said it before and say it again, cars in the 90's were under rated. They have the crash worthiness of today's car without all the techy junk.
I’m happy with my ‘00 2.5 L TJ and this video makes me appreciate it so much more
Alexander Matte, TJ’s were the last “real” Jeeps, I have a 2005 4 cylinder. The new Jeeps have way too many bells and whistles, and are ridiculously overpriced!
Over the years, I have owned (in order) a CJ5, Jeep Eagle, CJ7 and a Jeep Cherokee. In many ways, it is difficult to say which one I enjoyed the most, although the CJ5 had a snow plow that I took off and put on the CJ7. Not only was it very practical but a lot of fun. Of course, the Eagle drove more like a car, which made it more practical for the family. The Cherokee performed much like the Eagle but offered some of the same fun the CJ's offered. Interesting enough as I watched this review, I hadn't realized the extreme simplicity of Jeep never bothered me. In fact, it offered a level of fun and assurance that I could service almost any part of the jeep easier. Today, whenever I see the older Jeeps, I miss having one. For me, the older simpler Jeeps was synonymous with the word fun.
that gauge isnt blank its the 4x4 light its pretty cool it shows the axles change from 2wd to 4wd haha yess! the one time i know more than ole doug !
The "blank gauge" actually lights up when you put it in 4WD. The more you know!
wow is that a body glove sticker, those were everywhere in 93
I love your critiques! Keep 'em coming!
well first the "blank" is your 4wd indicator, second the top isn't even screwed
to the front window frame in that jeep
Is Doug just trolling us by always getting into the back seat through the drivers door? All these cars have folding passenger seats to enter.
Coastalways Doug is forever screwing up with details like this
Coastalways yeah, my 97 TJ was super easy to get in from the passengers side. Seat slid forward for a big passageway and the seat returned to its previously set position really easily.
I know, it kills me
MixingGBP same with my JK, getting in on the drivers side is basically impossible for an adult, passenger side though has plenty of room folded forward.
Thank you! I’ve been wanting to mention this for a while. Most cars you’re not meant to go in from the driver’s side, it makes me cringe every time I see him do it.
I went from driving a go cart to a 1984 CJ-7. I loved that SUV. Learned how to drive it on the beach. To try a AMC CJ. It will blow your mind, it was AWESOME!
1) There's a black handle on the passenger side to flip the seat 2) That is a powerful engine, ours could hit 70mph in 3rd gear up a hill easily 3) Exposed screws are nice, makes it easy to remove things for servicing.
