1992 Jeep Wrangler yj review from North America
"I love it- it's a jeep thing, you wouldn't understand"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket leaking
valve cover leaking slightly
parking brake recall
right front caliper hangs up occasionally
leak coming in thru dash- turns out it was the vent drain clogged.
General comments?
Jeeps are simply fun to drive. they are timeless. If you don;t enjoy driving in a convertible, don't get a jeep. These are not used for speeding around, but if you want to get noticed, a jeep is the one. It's a jeep thing, you wouldn't understand...
There is simply so much you can do to customize it, and they are so fun, they turn sharp, and you always get noticed in a jeep/ doors off, top off, it's like freedom. (except you can't keep anything valuable, because it will disappear in a blink of a second.) Definitely only as a weekend car. not a primary car!!
