Look, kids, I'm not hating on newer jeeps. I just like the old ones better. Carburetion and less electronic doodads are much better for an off-road machine in my opinion. Less shit to break. Not 10 grand with 200k miles. It's just my opinion. Don't anyone get there feelers hurt because I have a different opinion than you or we're going to have to move this to the politics section. I'm not going to apologize for my preference for old jeeps. They're simply easier to work on and cheaper to turn into a reliable Offroad machine.

oldschoolsdime92 Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 going to look at a 2000 this morning. 4 cyl-5 speed. hard top. We will see. Pictures appear nice. Not totally sold on the 4 cyl route, but its local, so I figure its worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BadTrainDriver Posted March 13, 2016 Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) As someone who's owned a YJ, a TJ, and a JK, plus worked at a stand alone Jeep dealership from 1998 to 2002, here's my thoughts: YJ: 1990 Wrangler Sahara, 4.2 258, 5 speed. Highly modified suspension and drivetrain. Tons of fun! Stock form: Modified: TJ: 2000 Jeep Wrangler Sport, 4.0 5 speed, also highly modified suspension and drivetrain. More fun and more capable than the YJ. JK: 2012 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 3.6 Pentastar, 6 speed standard, completely stock. MUCH more comfortable than the YJ or TJ, not as capable off road with stock suspension. With a small lift and larger tires, would have been MUCH more capable than either previous Jeep. My vote, try to find a standard transmission TJ six cylinder, plan to do some frame repair, and build a fun vehicle dependent on your needs. If summertime cruising with fire roads being your toughest offroading, you don't need lockers and all that jazz. Of course, if you want to be truly badass, build a one ton drivetrain, sprung over, 4BT, Scrambler. Stick a Blue Heeler in the back that will eat the face off anyone who comes near it, and roll coal on all the Priuses and Teslas. YOLO. Your choice. If you've got any questions, PM me. I'm pretty well schooled on 1987 to present day Jeeps, and there is a lot of wrong information in this thread.

oldschoolsdime92 Posted March 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2016 Well I drove the 2000 4 cyl today. I showed up, and it had a 2.5 inch rough country lift. Super clean, but it absolutely would not go over 55 mph. 5th gear was useless. If I shifted into 5th, it actually slowed down bc it didn't have the power to maintain the gearing. Is that normal?

BadTrainDriver Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 I'm not a fan of it being an automatic, but it looks clean from what I can see. What it looks like underneath is more important. Clean Carfax? Any paint work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are all the 4 cylinders like that? I see a ton of them on the road. I can't imagine everyone's only doing 50 Edit. Why is a quote IP made a few days ago showing up in my post!?

speedytriple Posted March 14, 2016 Report Share Posted March 14, 2016 That yellow onenis very clean underneath. A little rust around the rear suspension mount but not bad looking from what I saw when I looked at the two jeeps I listed they are both at a local small lot.

My dad had a 4cyl (iron duke) YJ. It was slow as shit. 45 up the hill on 33 before Athens. Stock gearing is not made for 31" + tires.
