I think 4 High W/ Lockers on would be the best in Sand dunes.

Remember to air down to about 15 PSI

Well, honsetly you dont need low gear for the sands, i always use 4h never use 4l for the sands, so for me it would be a waste unless i would hit the rock crawling scene. So really its what you will really be using it for. As for the YJ, if you dont have to sell it then just keep it

x2 - if you don't have to sell it and the trailer, why NOT keep it? Then again, if you sell, you can put the $$$ into (street-legal) mods for the Rubicon...

Well if you have already paid for the Rubi, then you just have to wait. If you still havent finished the order then cancel it and get a Sahara, Honetly the Rubi will be amazing for the Rocks but again you wont need the low ratio for the dunes.

As for the YJ, well you will fetch anything from 8,000 Aed to 25,000 again depending on the buyer for the YJ. You will get good money for it if there is someone who appreciates the Mods plus a clean mean YJ like yours. If you ask me based on the info you mentioned, i dont see you having a problem selling for 25,000 with ease. The best time would also be around Oct onwards as thats the season where you get people looking for sand toys

So if you really want to sell it, then olny sell it for the price you are looking for otherwise just keep it at the end of the day do you really wana get rid of a classic?

If it were me, i wouldnt sell it at all and just keep it, but thats me.

My last TJ i had was a 2005 Sahara, i sold it cause it was drawing to much attention plus kept getting anoyed with for sale notes and poeple stopping me asking is it for sale.

I had that thing built with as many mods and help from various people and one person who helped me along the way was WAYOFLIFE, thanks to his guidence and others i had the badest TJ going over here. There was nothing left stock on it except for the body and engine.

But when i finally did sell it, it was a killer, it was then sold 3 times then finally the last owner rolled it and now its being stripped and sold part by part.

The worst thing ever was to see something you built and spent so much time into just trashed and stripped infront of you:sad:

So you see, can you see that happen to your YJ down the line??

Well since i have been in the dunes the lowest i have been was 3 psi, but then again no hard side slopping,, but since the sand dunes over here is really soft i stick to 8 - 9 psi with no issues of popping the tires of the rim ( Touch Wood )


I have been in the dunes with Jeeps for many years,


This is a pic of my buddy in his TJ starting a side slope, He was runnig at 6 psi on cooper STT


Me in my GMC - Serria which i sold for the JK



Another buddy of mine in his KJ



And another buddy of mine in his JK



But keeping in mind i never advise anyone who is just strating to go that lower then 15 as it is a good start.

If you are looking for a jumping Jeep... you can't go wrong with leaf springs! For everything else... use the JK. Keep the YJ and buy a JK.
