1990 Jeep Grand Wagoneer review from North America

Replaced the transfer case, Jeep only had rear wheel drive when I bought it. The 229 transfer case was fairly difficult to find and the Jeep was out of commission for 5 weeks.

The Ford carbuerator leaves much to be desired. I would have rated reliability higher if not for it. This is a re-manufactured carb and is not that old. Very problematic.

Rear wiper and washer were non-operational when bought. Can't get a new wiper setup for the tailgate on a newer model, but can get one for an older model (1984 and older).

Rear defrost non-operational when bought.

Rear window out of track, but still operational.

Headliner is slowly, but surely coming down.

Overall this vehicle is sound. I like it allot (I'm a big AMC fan) but as with every vehicle, it has its problems.

It could definitely use a bigger gas tank. 20 gallons at 10 miles a gallon sometimes just doesn't cut it.

The AMC designed V-8 is great, lots of power and relatively easy to work on. But, as mentioned above, the Ford carburetor sucks (I'm a carb kinda guy too). The most unreliable carb Ford made just had to be utilized on this vehicle. Oh well.

Great ride, excellent interior, lots of room, nice and heavy and still made of steel, minimal computer usage means you can still work on it yourself if you wish. Most parts are not a problem to get with the exception of the few mentioned above. This truck will smash through a brick wall and keep going.

Looks great too. Has that awesome vintage look to it. Big button door handles, vinyl wood siding, roof rack, it just plain looks good!
