I'm looking to buy a '92 YJ Jeep Wrangler Sahara. It came stock with the carbed 4.2L I-6, but now has an injected 4.0L I-6. 40k miles on the new motor, clutch and trans. its a 5-speed. what are some common problems with these Jeeps? it's lifted on 33's. I'm really trying to avoid buying another problem car, seeing as my mercury is already one headache after another. I was also looking at another YJ last summer but it had fully-custom made driveshafts for it's lift, so i figured if that went i would be looking at big $$$. i appreciate any help. thanks much!
 
With any Jeep look for rust.With the lift and 33's I would look for stering issues and all joints.A modo I live by to not by problem vechiles is dotn buy a lifted truck and never buy a sports car that looks in anyway like a kid has owned it aka mods ect..If i were you I would look for a stock wrangler def with the 4.0 and def a 5spd.Jeeps are one of the best vechiles but alot of people think if u put 33's on a jeep it can handle anyting..and they dont build them right.It takes a lot of cash to doa jeep right not just a lift and 33s.
