Title: Any input on 87 Yj
Post by: bjwith97tj on January 24, 2013, 06:58:05 PM

Looking to get an 87 yj with the 4.2. Any input about these would help. Is the 4.2 a good engine? It's been stored for like 10 years. Its pretty solid.

depends on what you want to do with it..

87-90 jeep YJ's are the most prone to stock driverain failures ...
4.2L engine have carb and emissions issues
87-89 trannys are crap
D35 axle is garbage
