Are you asking about Jeeps, Grand Wagoneers, or other cars? Since this thread was about Jeeps and I mentioned the Wagoneers, I will answer it as it relates to Wagoneers. The last few years of the model were the best. 90-91 are very desirable. If it has been taken care of the 86-89 are also very nice. They upgraded nearly everything and had managed to figure out the supply for the components. You know on these monsters parts came from lots of different manufacturers. I had a '78 Wagoneer and an 89. The '78 had much tougher 4x4 gear, but the 89 was just a better truck. Be warned, however, the 360 Dodge engine really likes to drink gas. Especially when you have full time four wheel drive. I think this was in all of them from at least 78 through 91. My '78 Wagoneer was old enough that it had an 8 track it and the dealer installed CB. It was so retro that now it would be cool. Don Snook 300D 2.5 Turbo 247K
