It's a pretty sound Japanese unit. If you are going to put a big lift on
then you might want to change it, but by that point you will have replaced
everything below the floor !

I would go with a TJ, which means post 97. 99 is the year that they
got everything right. This gives you airbags, superior rear seat
seatbelts, and coil spring suspension, but still has the fuel injected
inline six which should give you 200,000 miles.

If airbags and seatbelts are not that important to you (an absolute
must for the drivers in my family) you still need to consider the coil
springs. I do not know about the YJ, but my 49 with leafs is a battle
ship to turn. The TJ can 'turn a square corner' plus stepping up on
curbs or going over those silly little bumps at the nose of parking
spaces is no bother at all.

A fair criticism of the TY is that you give up being able to fold the
window down.

Oddly enough, that stuff about all the Wrangler differences being in
trim packages and not where it matters sounds distressingly close to a
book I'm now reading: "The Decline And Fall of the American Automobile
Industry" (Brock Yates, 1983). In that book Yates excoriates the Big
Three in general (AMC was too poor even then to be nimble in the design
department) and GM in particular for ignoring public buying trends
around 1980 in sporty, economical, compact cars and instead pigheadedly
adding highly profitable trim packages with gobs of chrome to bloated,
ugly sheetmetal hiding flaccid, antiquated running gear. _Optional_
"Nicer seats, stereo and A/C" is an example he uses over and over.

Some things never change it seems.
