1989 Jeep Wrangler review from North America

"Once you have one you will never give it up"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Lets seen when I brought the jeep the guy I bought it from said it needed a carb adjustment because it would stall every time it came to a stop, but the real problem was that the intake manifold was warped so I got the intake machined to make it flat again and a new carb gasket and intake gasket $450 dollars later it was fixed to only find out that it went because my cat was blocked 300 dollars there to for a cat back exhaust.

The next week I lost the clutch and I brought the jeep to ammco what a mistake there work and service sucked and it took over a week to do and $900 dollars later after and new fly wheel, (which I didn't need) clutch, pressure plate, throw bearing, clutch slave, clutch line and, clutch master it was fixed once again a year later the spider gears went but I was lucky and they didn't blow throw the axle so I replaced them with and powertrax no slip locker no spider gears to break any more! I have had lots of carb trouble and very bad gas mileage keep screw driver handy it is a real pain in the ass I hope to, but fuel injection soon.

General comments?

Other than that I love the jeep. They are fun to drive on though's sunny days, but they suck in the snow. I won't give it up till the body falls off witch won't happen any time soon I hope. It's better off road in the explorer and the blue oval is off my hood. I hope to replace it with a jeep wrangler tj when this dies I will drive jeep forever.
