1989 Jeep YJ review from North America
"I love my Jeep and will never own anything else"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Lifter is going out.
Driver seat is broken. Have welded frame of seat once but didn't hold.
Exhaust system broke apart (Mainly my fault. ROCKS!)
Gas gage isn't very accurate.
Floor is rusting out (My wife took the top off and forgot to take the plugs out.)
E-Brake cable snapped.
General comments?
I love this jeep! You can't stop it. I doubt the engine will ever blow. My wife ran it almost out of oil once and it still kept on going.
If I could get the gas gage to work properly I would be way more pleased with it.
My biggest problem with the Jeep is the Carburetor. If you go through a puddle just a little too fast, you will be walking for a few days while it dries out.
