1995 Jeep Wrangler Rio Grande package review from North America

The only thing that I had to fix when getting this Jeep Wrangler was the low pressure switch on the a/c. I had to refill the manual transmission fluid with gear oil because the previous owner put automatic tranny fluid in it... but it did no damage... it's one tough puppy!

I absolutely love this Jeep Wrangler... I own 2 other Jeeps CJ-7s, but this Wrangler is by far the best ride a Jeep can produce. It's a little bumpy when you hit some pot holes, but on the highway it's not so bad. The small 4 cylinder engine is one tough hunk of iron because I still can take this thing up to 70 easy and it's got 117,000 miles on it. The a/c works great and is always a plus when buying a Jeep. The 31X10.50 tires makes the Jeep look tough and the ride a little higher, but you have to shift a tad earlier than if you had smaller tires due to the ratio differences. Parts are easy to find... in fact you can order on line or through the Jeep catalogs... and there are a ton of catalogs dedicated to Jeeps only. The interior is very nice... I like the leather seats and roomy console. You can install any radio very easily since there is nothing in the way or no dash to pull out to install. I have a CD player in mine with a 6 disk changer and it hardly skips a beat even with a few bumps in the road. The overhead speaker bar sounds great. The top can be hand stitched if the seams begin to separate and replacement tops are a phone call away. I look forward to driving this Jeep daily during my 100 miles commute (round trip) from Lampasas to Austin, TX and I get about 19 MPG on the highway, but I installed a cold air ram induction hose to the air box which accounts for better gas mileage and performance. This is my daily driver and I prefer to drive it over my Chevy Suburban.
