    If you want to be cradled in comfort this is not the car for you! If you want to play in the mud, sand, or snow you cant beat the Wrangler! The 4 cylinder is a little sluggish on steep hills but it keeps on chugging. Replaced the exhaust manifold at 115k, but also had to do that on my 87 Cherokee; I think its a fairly common issue for Jeeps. Mine has 125k on it and runs like a champ with no issues. Long trips are annoying; the steering is sensitive and high winds really shake it (big square box on wheels). I love driving around with the top down and the doors off!

    Picked up ol blue almost a yr ago on July 4th. Had 119K on it, now it has 123K. In her retirement, shes received a lot of TLC - 4" Superlift, 33x12.5x15 BFG Mud Terrains on Series 152 Black Rock Crawlers, AEM cold air intake, high flow cat., along w/40 Series Delta Flow Flowmaster, Detroit lockers rear, Detroit true-trac front, and 4.88 gears f/r. No oil leaks (yet) on original 2.5L I4 AMC engine. Engine runs strong for a 4 banger and now takes synthetic motor oil for more TLC. To date, no white or black smoke from her tailpipe. Has been a good experience mechanically, and overall, easy to work on. I have had too much fun giving this rig a new lease on life.

    I’ve had this ride since 93. My only complaint was that Chrysler failed to implement a recall on the fuel gauge system failure. And replacing it would have cost me $700.00 at the dealer, which I promptly refused to do. I drive without a working fuel gauge till this day. Needless to say, I had that car shipped to Hawaii for three years, and Italy for four, now it’s in Florida waiting to be shipped to Puerto Rico. I will own it till it dies. It went through three transmissions, fuel pump, water pump, two belts, five brake changes, four u-bolts, four shocks, tires, and that about it, aside from oil and tune ups. I have off road several times

    We bought our 1993 Jeep Wrangler to pull behind our 2007 Winnie Aspect. The really nice thing is we dont have to run any brake system on it. Our RV is rated at a max 20,000 lb GW and we only have a 14,000 lb RV on a Ford 450 Chassis. Hell, dont even know its there when tooling down the interstate. Have a modified military tow bar thats permanently attached to the jeep. Folds up and secured by 2 bungee cords. Hangs in there in the draft of the RV. Only loose 2 MPG of 12.6 MPG so 10 MPG with a 26 foot RV with Wrangler in tow is fine with me. I cut the wiring harness to the rear lights system next to the foot brake and attached a 4 wire trailer hookup. Its that easy. Unplug & plug in the trailer

  • 310000 mile jeep - 1993 Jeep Wrangler

    I read about jeep owners loving their jeep with 150,000 miles. My jeep has 310,000 miles and doing remarkably well. I have used it like a log truck and pulled logs at one time. Patton said the jeep and the browning BAR automatic rifle won WWII. I also have a Grand Cher Laredo. It cant hold a light to the wrangler with the sports package as far as performance and reliability.

  • Review of Jeep Wrangler - 1993 - 4 cylinder - 1993 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    Like the other reviewers have said. Its a Jeep. It can be expensive. But, fixing things and doing regular maintenance right can make your Jeep really last. You must want a Jeep to get one, not just a car. They are not comfortable, they are not cheap, but they are very, very fun. Theres nothing else like it. I am a creature of comfort (also drive a Lexus) however, I cant get rid of the Jeep. Its just too much fun.

  • Fun for the short-term - 1993 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    Ive really enjoyed my 93 Wrangler in the six years Ive owned it, but its cost me a bit: new clutches, emergency brakes, alternator--reasonably above average in the repair cost/budget. Its a better all around vehicle that might appear if you dont have kids, etc. The *big* problem, which is forcing me to sell it for salvage right now, is hideous premature rusting out of the entire undercarriage (I live in New England, in a coastal region, but...). The entire 1/4" metal underbody has rusted to the consistency of paper, and other Wrangler owners have told me of similar experiences. Just 10 years, 70K miles, and the car has been rendered undriveable.

  • Best of U.S. - 1993 Jeep Wrangler
    By -

    I just sold this rig a year ago(needed the cash), but it was probably, of all the cars Ive owned, the most fun to drive. Very quick and agile. You dont need a 6cyl if you can get a 4cyl with fuel injection. The gas mileage sucks. Best I got was 18mpg. But, its great in snow, and will fit in any parking space. The seats are simple and incredibly supportive...but lets be honest - its easier to change a tire than put up a soft top. Unless you live in the sunbelt, buyer beWarned.

    This is a used Sahara ragtop Jeep, green in color with tan top. It has been used with care. Mileage is approximately 65,000 miles. Was used for some off road travel for rockhounding. Otherwise was used for travel around town for short distances. Has been stored in a garage and well taken care of. It is a 6 cylinder 4 wheel drive, 1993 model in better than average condition. Has been regularly maintained. Has new tires. Has been in one fender bender accident, but was completely restored by the dealership.
