Jeep Wrangler Sahara YJ '92

Without doors, roof, backseats... but it sure looks good...

Costing Dhs15,000 (approx. SGD6.5k), after lots of considerations and self-assurance, i finally decided to make it mine. Definitely not a car in the best of conditions (hey, its a 1992 model!), but after putting it to a good test in the desert, and after lots of bullshitting from a garage trying to rip me off, guess i'm glad i made this choice.

Its kind of like Transformer. I have the option of putting the hard top or soft top, with or without rear seats, and even with or without doors. Its in its barebone now, and with the amount of noise from the engine and exhaust, its making alot of heads turn...

Bashing the dunes, climbing up those huge slopes, getting stuck on the crest and sand bath on this powerful machine are some of the amazing experiences i got when we went to the desert on New Year's Day. An amateur like me didn't even get stuck in the dunes, thanks to this forgiving beast. Learning a few tricks from the lao jiaos, and hoping to go more often in the coming weekends.

Seeing the sunrise and sunset in the middle of a desert is simply breathtaking. Its really therapeutic to stop at the top of a big dune, and take a look of the endless grains of fine sand from your feet running all the way to the horizon where it meets the clear blue sky, while enjoying the silence and cold fresh air. At least for this time of the year...

Oh by the way, i'll be getting the doors, roof and seats from the previous owner soon. I wouldn't want to go for an open concept drive during summer... Even at about 15 degree celcius now, i'm enjoying every minute of the drive...
