Hello Everyone,
My son is very keen on buying a late model Jeep Wrangler.
I have checked previous posts but can't find an answer to what I am after.
A lot of conflicting information is out there in various
places but I was hoping that someone here may be able to help me with some solid information on fuel consumption for what I believe is a 4 litre petrol engine plus any advice on cost and general availability of spare parts.
Cheers.

Hiya,
I was going to buy a wrangler for my 1st 4b, but ended up going with a 4runner. I did a lot of research. They are a good truck, and dead simple. Very old technology, so simple to work on. Only thing I don't like is they come out of the U.S. and don't have the best reputation for quality. They chew the gas if you put your foot down. There's a lot around these days, so spares shouldn't be too hard to come by, but nothing like the Jap brands, and more expensive too. Sorry I couldn't be more specific, hope this helps.

if he dosnt like the fuel economy on a 4.5 cruiser , he will hate the wrangler . Sorry , but i am not a fan of the wrangler at all . The diffs are made of plastic( in strenght I mean ) , they cannot be overhauld . A second hand diff will set you back $1500 , if you brake a head light or tail light ,
well hold on to your wallet . A friend of
mine owns a jeep wreckers , and is making a fortune . I find there technoligy back in the 70's somewere. Every time I trade a Jeep , it ends up costing a mint to lot prepare
