Like I said I loved the Jeep. I almost put a new engine with a fuel injection in it just to keep it. Instead I sold it, bought a PU and dirt bikes. Wish I had done the first as I beoke my shoulder ont he dirt bike then they started closing down the few places I had left to ride. I'm selling the dirt bikes now. You won't find an 89 Jeep Wrangler in better condition than that one was in either.

You have other options though, if you’re interested in it. For one you can take the cylinder head and all the fuel injection hardware from a 4.0L HO Wrangler or Cherokee motor and have fuel injection. You’d even have an arguabley better set up than the 4.0L ‘cause of the bigger displacement that’s mostly in the crank, i.e. it’s basically a 4.0 with a longer stroke. Some of the CJ guys with the 258 are use’n an aftermarket fuel injection system that bolts to the stock motor, no cylinder head swap. That’d add horses and make it much more reliable. Check out the link to Jeeps Unlimited Forums I posted earlier if your interested. Those guys would know more ‘bout it all than I do.

Anyone buy a 2.5 liter (4 cylinder) and regret not buying a 4.0 (6 cylinder)?

An guy I used to date had a Wrangler and I hated that thing with a burning passion. It wasn't just noisy - you could hardly carry on a conversation without yelling. Getting into it was a chore as there wasn't much to get a hold of to pull yourself up. Unzipping the windows was pretty lame as well. I just tought it was an ugly, crappy, piece of shit tin can and couldn't believe they cost as much as they did. |

Those were solid motors and there’s lots of power potential. It’s a shame to see the 4.0L go away.

My Cherokee has 140k, and the 4.0L motor is still strong. |
