Re: Buying YJ.
Ahh, so no matter, I think all the 2.5's are FI.
The heater blower motor in the pre 91 YJ is a piece of junk. A big GM
motor can fit pretty easy so low speed is more air than high with the
Jeep one. We have links here on how to do that.
The 89 4 is basically the same as the rest, it's only the 6 that had big
changes in 91.
You need to check the back tails of the frame for rust and behind the
front seats in the roll bar corners. Also the body rails where the
mounts attach need rust checking.

Re: Buying YJ.
Hi again
Just bought a YJ from march '96
It has "mountaineer" on the side, what does that mean ?
It's the second time I see that green label.
