Re: 6 or 4 cylinders for the wrangler ?
Good idea patrick, you won't be sorry. As with any 4x4, you'll eventually
want to put a little bigger tires on, and the extra horses always help.
You can always regear, but $$$$$. RESALE is one major factor. Here in the
USA, NorthWest, the 4 bangers just don't sell, or hold their value as well
as the 6's. Gas milage isn't much different as you've read from everyone's
comments. Also, with the extra horses, there's less stress on the motor,
and it should last a little longer everything being equal (Personal
opinion, no facts to back that one up). But I'm sure you'll be like
everyone else, and want bigger tires, etc....
Nothing looks so cool as your new Jeep sporting a new set of 33"
Mudders.......Go with BFG's. Also, I recomend the hard top as well, as
long as you have a place to store it. It'll probably come off right away,
and you'll go convertible....all you can
I'm a 2 year Jeep owner now........and I'm Lovin it....
sorta like a boat. Bought a trashed 89 YJ, and that was one of the
happiest days in my life. Paid $2000 for it. It wouldn't move, the poor
guy was flat broke and drove it till it wouldn't move anymore. I figured I
couldn't go wrong for 2 grand. Well, I've put in a do it yourself spray
in bedliner, 4 1/2" Rubicon Express lift kit, new carburetor and changed
the dash color from grey to black. Also replaced the Metal piece behind
the dash because the lip goes under the windshield and was rusted. Fixed
all the wiring on the crappy gauges......on and on and on........Your gonna
LOVE YOUR JEEP!!!! Seriously you will. Kinda Like Surfing and buying a
motorcycle. But there are lots of things you need to know being a Jeep
owner, so I'd stay tuned to this website. I don't know much, but there's
lots of people here who are Jeep knowledge GODS and will give you lots of
advice. I'd recomend getting a Undercoating, and pay lots of attention to
the gasket under the windshield if you want your Jeep to last..... You'll
LOVE the 6 cylinder....and all the aftermarket goodies you'll want to add!!!
!!!!!!
ENJOY!!!
