Does anyone know about the latest on the rule regarding the old car registration and the new thing about not registering cars that are converted from RHD to LHD??

RHD to LHD converted cars are totally banned by Dubai!
Other emirates I believe still have some flexibility on this.

Old car registration is still fine, still! The law was revoked indefinitely last year by Sh Khalifah!

The '95 Wrangler was the last of the YJ model, therefore the best. The YJ was slowly upgraded from it's production in '87. Some argue it was the last of the hard core Jeep Wranglers due to the coil springs (instead of leaf springs) installed in the next model. Also featured square headlights - unique to the wrangler history and I must say... much better looking!

I have a '95 Wrangler and love it, hard ride but tough and retro.

hmm, the square lights do look better. A bit more of an outback/safari look.

did u get teh answer !!! but there is more...
atleast for me...
> it has leaf springs, so articulation and lift and be controlled better and changed easily. leafs also give better dampning as teh friction between teh springs complements teh shocks.. harder ride, but better ride off road while jumping!!

> The smallest wrangler.

> Geo 1400... r u selling yours...

> the last year of production was actually 96, but they were sold as 95 models only, but they had more silent engines in prepration for TJ and even TJ bumpers.

> I don't want teh renegade trim as its too plasticy!!

I haven't considered selling it because i'm in the process of changing a few things. I've just done a 2.5" lift with new rims and tyres etc. How much are you looking to spend on one? I might know of someone who might sell his.
