4CYL '95 YJ - enough power?
 

Got a lead on a cheap '95 YJ with the 4-banger. Does this have enough power
to modify into a "beast" - i.e. to put a 4" skyjacker lift and some 35"
muds?

The Jeep is cheap enough that putting a small V8 or I6 wouldn't be too
detrimental to the wallet but I don't want to bother with the work - not to
mention this engine only has 140k.

I have wheeled with 4 banger Jeeps and didn't know it until it was
mentioned late in the day. He kept up just fine. You just have to gear
them right and accept a 'speed limit' only in the slow lane highway run
although one TJ kept up running 70 mph well enough going to one run.

Isn't that what you said when you got your draft notice?

And I think the other answer from Mike Romain, speaking from experience,
takes a much higher precedence than yours, taken from google and filtered
through a very sick and disturbed mind.

My daughter has a 95 4 cyl, 4.88 gears and 33"s, she has no problem, road
trip through the rockys she was passed by all, but off road as Mike says,
you wouldn't know any difference, 95 has the 297 U-joints in the front too.

The gearing is the key. I have a '95 YJ and they work well with 33
inch tires on road since the gear selection is limited to 4.88 max. I
think 35 would be a bit much with 4.88 gears on road but would be OK
off road in low range. If you plan to swap in another engine
eventually I would say go ahead and start building it for 35s, it will
work out fine. There are other options for lower gearing off road,
like a 4:1 kit, Atlas transfer case or tranny swap. Have fun with
your build!

My only thought here: how you gonna keep axles in that D35 rear end with all
that weight on the end of the shaft - looks like gearing can only go so far
before you exceed strength of the underlying hardware, no matter how puny
the engine. Let one tire hop and you walk home.

If you want to keep the engine with those mods change your gears to a set of
5:56 they will work when you eventually go for a bigger engine.

I passed a CJ7 once and a Grand another time. It's a fairly high-revving
engine compared with the six cylinder, and you have to hit the shift points
just right. :)

Cheers,
