1989 Jeep Wrangler S review from North America
"There's only one!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Right off the bat I had to replace the tires, brakes, radiator, thermostat (with housing),idle control motor, belts and hoses. In addition, I had to replace the vacuum harness for the 4 wheel drive.
I have also replaced the liftgate lifts, inner door pull handles, sunvisors. I have also purchased miscellaneous interior parts.
General comments?
I got a good deal on it and the body is rust-free so I don't mind that I had to sink some money into it. I plan on keeping it for a long time anyway. I live in New River, AZ and I am right next to the Tonto National Forest. I have taken it 4 wheeling and it has performed perfectly. People complement me on it and can't believe that it is 17 years old.
The hardtop that came with it is great and I can drive without worrying about the heat and dust of the desert. It can be removed and one can enjoy the fresh air as well on cooler days.
