Q: Do the new jeep wranglers have good power?
I had a 2005 unlimited wrangler and i have a 91 yj wrangler now its getting up there and i wanted to drive it less and i was looking at the 2010 2011 jeep wranglers i haven’t driven one yet just wanted to know how they compare with power and anything else about them which model would be the best to buy a sahara, sport, rubicon. Does anyone have one? Jeeps are the s**t!
A: sport as in 2010 or 11 is now a base package for just someone looking for a budget, sahara has always been the luxury version, ans rubicon the hardcore offroader. if on a budget get the sport, sahara for the luxury, and if you like to offroader alot then the rubi. power wise the v6 has hp and torque than the legend 4.0. but moving the wrangler in traffic and highway ive heard the 4.0 feels more powerful. ive own nothing but jeeps with the 4.0 and maybe im a traditionlist but i will always remember the 4.0 as being the best and most powerful engine ever put into a wrangler.
Q: Did 98 Jeep Wranglers come wired for front speakers?
I purchased a 98 wranger that didnt come with speakers in the front dash, so I purchased a pair of 4×6s but the wiring is all funky from previous instalations of various lights etc. Are 98 Jeep Wranglers wired for front speakers? Or do I need to pull out the radio and run wires from there?
A: My ‘98 had front speakers wired into the dash. I’ve come across several pieces of wiring that were installed but not used on my particular wrangler such as cruise control wiring and fog light wiring. I would assume that the wiring is already there even if it wasn’t used on your Wrangler. I think they install all the wiring on every Jeep whether it will be used on that particular one or not.
Q: Do you find that jeep wranglers have enough driver space?
I want to get a jeep wrangler in a couple of year and im 6′2 ill probly be around 6′5-6′6ish when i get my jeep. Will i have enough room in the drivers seat cuz some jeeps have little room on the interior
A: The driver and passenger seats are roomy, its the back seat that wasn’t designed for “adults” in mind. Go to a dealership and sit and drive one.
If you’re gonna spend that kind of cash, you should at least check them out in person. Personally, I love mine
Q: what is the deference between the 2010 4 door jeep wranglers: sport, rublican, and the sahara?
I was shopping for the new jeep wranglers today that are 4 door and there were 3 different kinds one called sport the other Rubicon and the other the Sahara… what are the differences?
A: The differences are primarily trim and standard convenience options, which you can review on the official Jeep site. IIRC, the Sport and Rubicon have black fenders, the Sahara has matching painted fenders. The Sport has 16″ wheels, Sahara has 18″, Rubicon 17″. The Sahara and Rubicon come with remote entry, power windows, cruise control, fog lamps, tow hooks and leather wrapped steering wheel, which are all options on the Sport.
The Rubicon has mechanical differences making it more off-road capable, including electronically-disconnecting front sway bar (better articulation for rock crawling, can be added to other models for about $1k, or use manual disconnects for around $100), beefier Dana 44 front axle (less likely to break, not an available factory option on the others, about $1,500 aftermarket), Electronic front-and-rear differential lockers (better traction, about $1k/axle third-party upgrade), lower gear ratios (1:4.11 vs 1:3.73 for better power for crawling/mud, about $800 axle aftermarket) and off-road tires in a slightly larger size than the other models (about $200/tire x5), and a rock rails.
Q: are there any jeep wranglers that have a seat adjustment?
are there any jeep wranglers that have a seat adjustment? i am 4′11 and i am buying a jeep, and i tested a basic ‘09 and the seat slides forward and backward, but i need it to be able to raise the seat so i can see over the wheel. what model of jeep wrangler has this feature? and i also want it to have a plastic cover so it can be like a convertible in the summer.
A: My 2007 wrangler has an up and down seat adjustment. It’s an X unlimited with a fancy interior package – I can’t remember the details, and the package codes have probably changed anyway. I can’t find it on Jeep.com right now, just tell the dealer that you need that option.
If it’s not available any more, then look into getting a set of the aftermarket lift blocks for the 2003 – 2006 wranglers, they should work for the 2010 – 2011 jeeps as well.

Q: Among the Jeep Wranglers from the 1994 year, what is the differnce between the SE, Sahara, and the Renegade?
I am trying to choose between three 1994 Jeep Wranglers. One is a Sahara, the other a Renegade, and the last one an SE. which one is the best option? What’s the difference?
A: Base (also referred to as “S” & “SE” at different points in the model run; first few years the back seat and rear bumperettes were optional, some years the 6cyl engine was an option, other years only the 4cyl was available in the “Base” model)
Sahara (which came standard with most available options, including body color fender flares and alloy wheels)
From 1991 until 1994, Jeep produced an options package on the YJ Wrangler listed as the “Renegade Decor Group”. Initially, all Renegades were White, Black or Red. In 1992, Blue was added, in 1993, Bronze. The Renegade Decor Group was a $4,266.00 option over a base Wrangler in 1991 and included special alloy wheels, exclusive body flares, along with many other features.

Q: Are jeep wranglers with hard tops easy to break into?
Im thinking of getting an older model Jeep Wrangler with a hard top, but the truck I have has gotten broken into and my new stereo was stolen. Would i have to worry more about getting broken into with a Wrangler as opposed to any other car?
A: No its just like a regular car the only easy way to get in is break a window
Q: what years of jeep wranglers have interchangeable parts?
I have a 1997 jeep wrangler with a 4cyl, four wheel drive. I want to get a lot of different items for it, one being a 6cyl engine, another is a soundbar, etc.
A: You would be better off selling the 4 cylinder Jeep and buying another one with a 6 cylinder already installed from the factory. Engine swapping is a very tedious and expensive process, and does not always end up with the finished results you may expect, (even if you are a good mechanic). It can be done if you have money and time to burn, but the job is best left to customizing or hot rod shops who are familiar with the type of conversion you want to do.
Q: How dangerous are Jeep Wranglers?
I’ll be getting my first car soon, and I really love Jeep Wranglers. My parents claim they are too easy to flip over while driving. How dangerous are they? Can anyone who owns a Wrangler clarify this?
A: I got my first Jeep when I was 14. I had it on 2 wheels many times, but never rolled it. In fact, 23 years later, I still have the same Jeep along with a few more. My little sister had a Wrangler for her 1st car. She never rolled it. Then it was passed down to our youngest brother. He never rolled it and still has it after 10 years.
They were known to roll back in the CJ days (pre 1987), but the YJ was built to solve that problem….a little wider and lower to the ground. The newer Jeeps are even more stable.
Your parents are stuck on old information.
The Ford Explorer was also known for roll overs, but that did not stop people from buying them. Ends up Ford blamed the tires.
As long as you drive it like an off road vehicle rather than a sports car, you will be fine!
Q: Is the automatic transmission any good in the newer jeep wranglers?
I like the 5 speed, but the ole knee doesnt, so I want to buy a jeep with the automatic, are they good or are they junk? The trans, not the jeeps themselves! I want to do some light to moderate off roading so it would have to be able to take a bit if punishment. Thanks!
I am looking at a 1997 with 94k on the trans.
A: I have a 2000 TJ with automatic transmission and 115,000 plus miles on it. No problems with the transmission and I do some off roading with it. Actually many off roaders prefer the automatic over the 5 speed.
Q: Does anyone know of any websites for customising YJ jeep wranglers?
I am currently trying to cutomise my jeep ‘92 model YJ wrangler and am struggling to find websites that offer personal advice as to what parts are suitable for my car. i am basically looking for a new roll cage, along with suitable roll cage padding and the likes but havent had much luck. any help welcome!!
thanks
A: 4WD.com
Q: How Serious is it that my Jeep Wranglers Rear axle has a pinion seal leak?
The leak seems minor I see no puddles under the Jeep just a little bit of oil on the bottom of the Diff.
A: Seal leaks only have one way to go and that’s to worsen. If it gets bad enough you’ll do damage to the pinion bearing and to the gears. Best to get it fixed before it get’s to that point. Keep an eye on it and make sure the level is checked frequently.
Q: do the new jeep wranglers have a differned bolt pattern for wheels then then tj’s ?
looking for cheap rims for my 05 wrangler, i got 245/75-16 tires. i see alot of the new jeep steelies. would they fit?
A: They sure do and no they won’t.
Your TJ has 5×4.5 bolt patttern, the new JK’s are 5×5
Q: Where are the best places to find deals on Jeep Wranglers?
I have heard that there are numerous dealerships that are closing their doors because of the economy. Does this mean that they are going to have to get rid of all of their inventory? If so, that would suggest that there are going to be deals. Where should I be looking to be sure that I do not miss out on any deals for the Wranglers?
A: at any auction house in any state, if not at any local junk yard where the jeep is no longer working properly.
Q: What Year Did Jeep Wranglers start getting Stock Rear Disk Brakes?
I have a 1997 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Edition (TJ) that I was doing its scheduled differential fluid change on, and I found Broken teeth on the Rear Differential Gears. Well I have heard that the ring and Pinion gears are a big hassle to change out without special tools, So I was hoping to find another Jeep at a Junk Yard to buy a used differential. Well I also want to kill two birds with one stone and find a rear diff. with rear disk brakes since i have drums right now. So this brings me to my question, What year do Jeep Wranglers start getting stock rear disk brakes, if they even have started…… also, Would the part be compatible to fit on my Jeep? I am not sure what gearing I have right now, but I do know that it is not a limited slip differential. So of course, It would be even more cool to kill three birds with one stone and find a rear diff. with a limited slip diff. also. Does the limited slip diff. come standard on any models? Would a Cherokee Diff be Compatible? Thanks
A: You may as well replace the entire axle if you’re going this route. A Ford 8.8 out of a1995-2001 Ford Explorer is a very common swap. It is the correct width, same lug pattern, much stronger and they are easy to find with disc brakes. You can find them around for a few hundred bux at junk yards. M.O.R.E. and many others sell kits to relocate the control arm brackets and spring perches, but you’ll need to know how to weld, or know a welder to do these mods. If you go this route make sure you match the gear ratio to your front end – different front/rear ratios will blow up your transfer case when in 4wd.
The disc brake conversion won’t help much for what its worth – trust me, I tried it. If you must, TeraFlex sells a conversion kit that uses mid/late 1990’s ZJ brakes.
If you don’t want to go this route check the jeep message boards and enthusiast sites, you are VERY likely to find a person that is doing this mod and will either give your their stock axle, or sell it to you VERY cheap. It will bolt straight in and get you up and running in the shortest amount of time for the least amount of $. Good Luck!
