At least a '91 or newer that starts the more reliable fuel injected 4.0L
engine. I would avoid any late eighties Wranglers since they have the crappy troubleprone Peugeot transmission. If you want the better riding Wrangler with the improved suspension, '97 or newer is a good choice. My '97 has proven to be a great Jeep. lovs2fly wrote: > Any advice on what year to look for in a used wrangler? > > Thanks, > Dennis > > -- Jerry Bransford PP-ASEL N6TAY See the Geezer Jeep at http://members.cox.net/jerrypb/ |

Early '89 Wranglers have the notorious Peugeot BA10, late model '89
Wranglers got the better AX-5 or AX-15 trannie.

I lucked out, I know. Overall, I've been pretty happy with my "carbed' 4.2L.
It's running decent.

how much $$$$ would you like to spend? or does that matter? I have an old
JP magazine, that gives a breakdown of the different years and the good and the bad. I'll dig it up, and post here tomorrow with the info. quite a few people feel the 87-89 4.2L is Better than the 4.0L engine. I believe its the same 4.2 used in the CJ's and has better low end torque. The 4.0 was started in 90. In 89, the 4.2L was offered with a CARB and Fuel Injection. Sooooo, if that was what you were interested in, I would suggest an 89 and up fuel injected Jeep. The Carb is a piece of crap, and doing away with it is a pain in the ass. Not to mention dealing with all the emission crap. I'll write more tomorrow..
