Re: 6 cyl. YJ or 4 cyl. TJ?????????
All I am saying is, if the right CJ comes along, don't pass it up just
because it has a 6. A quality frame and body with a 6 is a much better buy
than a "well used" body and frame with an 8. If you find a good CJ with an
8, then you have a bonus. Personally, I would be looking for any CJ from '76
or newer, and would only have issues with a 4 banger. The 4 is a worthy
offroad machine, IF trail riding on dry ground. the 4 is weak on the freeway
(an important consideration to me), and it underpowered for serious mud.
I think your focus is misdirected, that's all. You should be looking for
good condition of the body and frame, and no leaks. If you can find all of
this, and the motor is a 6, then jump on it. If the motor is an 8, then
BONUS.
