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.

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.

Why is your search limited to a Wrangler?
