1989 Jeep YJ - Number Two: Part 1
Getting A Beater Running And WheelingWe first saw the Jeep on Craigslist and honestly we should have kept looking. Yep we definitely should have known better, but it was clear the owner was done with his failed Jeep project, and that meant we might be able to haggle for a better price. The ’87-’90 Jeep YJ has a solid base, but these Jeeps also have a few bad apples mixed into their bushel of parts that make them relatively cheap and somewhat of a headache. Topping this list is the computer-controlled Carter carburetor and leak-prone induction system with miles of vacuum lines. Add the Dana 35 rear axle, expensive Peugeot BA10/5 Transmission , and NP207 Transfer Case (found in ’87 YJs) and you have a real pile of…well, it’s a fixer-upper. Also while the vacuum-actuated center axle disconnect front Dana 30 is a fairly solid unit…its function relies on 25-year-old vacuum lines and switches.
