Re: Best year for a used wrangler
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?

My '97 Sport has been good to me. Bought it about 3 years ago with 65K
miles, never offroaded at that point, clean and tight, etc. What do you
intend to do with it? How much money you got to spend? If you are building
a trail beast, no point starting with a brand-new Jeep, unless you have
money to burn. OTOH, if it's a daily driver, no point starting wiht a
beast!!
I'd get a '97 or newer, personally... I like the TJ.
