If you can't answer yes to any of the above, this may not be the best choice in vehicles for you. :) Ok, that said... I'd say 1981 or newer... but some of the '70's models are fine too. there are issues with all the years... based on my experiences I'd say a 1987 or newer might offer a little less headache... unfortunately all you have for engine and transmissions are the 360 V8 and TF727 transmission, neither of which are all that great. They'll last, but they are inefficient... 8 to 12 mpg will be what you can expect. In '86 they reworked the dash... my son has one and it drives wonderfully, but it's thirsty and we had to replace the transfer case in it... Bottom line, if this is just going to be a fun family 4x4 any year will work fine. If you want, email info on which ones you're considering... and get on the FSJ list on digest.net, we'll all help you spend your money. :) see: http://wagoneers.com/FSJ/ for info. john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ when replying, please reply to: FullSizeJeeps-at-gmail.com john-at-wagoneers.com does not get checked often and is heavily spammed - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 si vis pacem, para bellum http://johnmeister.com http://wagoneers.com http://fotomeister.us - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ On Wed, 29 Sep 2010, Chris Talbott wrote: # Hi John, # # I hope you are well.
