1995 Jeep Wrangler review from North America
"Fun at first"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear slip yoke design is poorly built. The rear U-Joints needed to be replaced about every 4000 miles due to the fact that the Slip Yoke will wear out causing it to become unbalanced.
Had to replace the vacuum lock for the 4 wheel drive to engage 2 times. Finally replaced it with a manual cable lock.
The rear tailgate hinges became so worn that they needed replaced.
There were other problems, but these were the most common and costly.
The YJ jeep Wrangler in my open is one to avoid.
General comments?
For having a 6 cylinder it felt underpowered. It was fun driving with the doors and top down, but that gets old quick when your top starts to dry rot.
