1989 Jeep Wrangler review from North America
"Reliable, fun to drive YJ"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seats are torn.
Brake lines had to be replace.
Original frame rusted badly and had to be replaced.
Transmission replaced at 140,000 miles - due to accident.
Fuel pump went at 143,000.
Starter replace at 143,000.
General comments?
It has been very reliable for the time I've had it. I had to spend some time getting it back into a good condition (had to replace the frame)
The jeep is pretty slow, doesn't have much power, not very comfortable, but is fun to drive.
Gas mileage is usually between 15 and 18 on street tires.
