Hi,
I currently own a 79 Jeep Cj-5 and am looking to buy a 91-95 Wrangler
in the next few months. I was wondering what sort of things should I
look for on these Jeeps? Do they have any notorious problems? I
understand that there are several different models avaliable (SE, Rio
Grande, Sahara) what are the differences in each of these models? Any
opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Gary

 

I have a 95 YJ SE model.. It has NO options.. No AC, No power steering..
Manual everything... It didn't even come with a stereo.. The Rio Grande, if
I am not mistaken was basically an SE model that all maxed on options.. AC,
Power Everything, and different wheels...Hope this helps..

All the differn't wrangler for these years are just trim levels as i
understand. Sahara for example would have nicer seats, stereo, A/C and a 4.0
as best i can remember.

None of these trim levels indicates a bigger differentail or limited slip or
anything like that.

I hope iam not wrong this is what i remember being told.

Nothing too look out for then any other jeep, ball joints, u joints. The 91
and later has multiport fuel injection and the AX 5 or AX 15 trans. Change
all fluids when you get it.

Make sure no fluid is coming from the bell housing of the transmission,
might mean at the least a leaking rear main seal and at worst (my wrangler)
a leaking clutch slave cylinder. The vacuum system for 4WD can be
problematic. A manual disconnect called a posi lok can be bought at
www.quadratec.com bypassing the vacuum system entirley.
Ask for maintenance records.

I would try and get one with the 4.0. I like mine MPG around 18/19 and when
it fails, plan on using a 4.2 crank and connecting rods along with a
differnt cam making it a 4.5 L

Thanks for all the info! I would be looking at the nicer Jeep model
problably with ps, pb, ac, tilt, etc etc... Which model would that be?
(Out of the ALL models avaliable) Are the Ax 5 and Ax 15 trans any
good? I'm not interested in the autos at all. Just the manuals. Thanks
again,

Gary
