All that said, I would recommend a 1986 CJ with the Dana 44 rear (hard to
find though).

Re: What Jeep to look for?
 

A couple of minor corrections to JimG's post. They DID put 5 spds in CJs
along with the better Tremec 4 spd. Also, the V8 was an option through
82 in the CJ5 and 7, I believe. Carbs were pre-91. 1990 YJs were carbed,
'91s were injected.

Wow,

Thanks for the replies, I thought that some were 2 wheelers, although I have
