Original Owner
RetiredArmy, 06/01/2009
1990 Jeep Wrangler S 2dr SUV 4WD
Owned since new, primary vehicle for first year, then wised up and used as second or third ever since, where it excels as convertible, off-roader, tow vehicle, winter driver, grocery getter; fun, practical, economical to operate and easy to maintain. 17- 20mpg with 5sp/2.5L, stock. Just don't ask it to carry more than two adults, spend hours on the highway or keep you cool in the heat … (though its warm enough in the winter). Took it to Turkey & Germany, was right vehicle for first country, wrong for second. Next time will buy hardtop w/AC and get the softtop later.

Only automobile I ever loved

1990 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 2dr SUV 4WD
Have owned it for all 16 years of its life. Mechanical troubles early on were covered by Chrysler warranty. Most of the kinks worked out by 5 years or so.

Battling the SUV crash image
rick90yj , 12/22/2002
1990 Jeep Wrangler Islander 2dr SUV 4WD
When I bought it, it had 89,000 miles
on it, and I've put 60,000 miles on
this vehicle since then, and the
reliability is excellent. I've
replaced the carb with an Autolite
carb, and lifted it, but otherwise it's
factory stock. I have no problems with
the supposed problems with SUV
rollover. It corners great.

Bulletproof construction, fun to drive
Buddy Ochoa, 08/28/2008
1990 Jeep Wrangler 2dr SUV 4WD
I haven't had this for long. It's very simple. No power steering, ABS, AC, or anything extra except the aftermarket pioneer radio. Off roads nice and has great ground clearance even with stock sized tires and no lift. Always starts up and is ready to go.
