junk. I would take an EFI 2.5 over the 4.2.

IF the price is REALLY REALLY good, the 4.2 isn't THAT bad. Otherwise, hold out for a 4.0. I ran mine /w a Weber on it /w good results. The stock carb sucks but the motor itself is allright.

carb is the only issue... i had a 90 YJ w/carbed 6cyl
i know i would've liked to have full hard doors/top for winter. i had the half doors/solft top.

this is the description, he said the motor was rebuilt and has papers for it but doesnt have the milage when it was done:
have a 90 yj jeep with a soft top and arb air lockers front and rear not sure the gearing but 4 wheel works great and has a warn m8000 lb winch and evrything just replaced the passenger ujoint,clutch was done a year ago,fuel pump and tune up fuel filter also a year agao still have recipts and the starter maybe 7 months along with the battery.has a streight six carb,5 speed not sure what transfer case also had a new header and gaskett along with the catalic converter,and put on a 3"body lift
it would be in a trade, i dont know **** about carbs really and am just looking for a reliable daily driver that i could still wheel. having the arbs is what made me consider it.

i like jeeps, but keep your toyota. its much better set up.
i would but i need a dd/wheeler. im moving to lacey at the end of the month. if i kept my truck i wouldnt be able to drive it from there to everett and back.

keep your rig. Are you commuting to everett from lacey?
only when i would come home to see family and friends. i cant afford to have my truck and a dd.
yeah, were kinda smart that way:redneck:
i cant be the only one who would go from a toyota to a jeep. i dont care what it is if i can wheel it.

The piece of **** carb on it. Convert it to EFI and it would be a fine engine.
thats what i figured it was. i was looking at efi conversions but they were anywhere from $1400-2500.
No goto Customefis.com. I picked mine up for around $900
EDIT: Here's a link $875 http://www.customefis.com/tbidiy.html
I think if it is a 90 with a 5 spd then it has the crappy peugot manual transmission. Dont buy it. With a 4.2 and a peugot it isnt worth it. Just wait until you find one with a 4.0 and ax15
Edit: It has the ax15. So I guess it isnt all that bad.
