About the Jeep Wrangler YJ
The Jeep Wrangler YJ was the first vehicle to carry the "Wrangler" name, succeeding the CJ-7. Recognizable by its square headlights (a polarizing design choice), the YJ featured leaf-spring suspension and was available with the bulletproof 4.0L inline-six (1991+) or the 2.5L four-cylinder. The YJ is the most affordable entry point into Wrangler ownership and has strong aftermarket support. Its simple design makes it easy to wrench on, and many TJ and CJ parts interchange.
Frequently Asked Questions
What engine does a YJ Wrangler have?
The YJ came with two engine options: the 2.5L four-cylinder (117 HP, available all years) and the much-preferred 4.0L inline-six (180 HP, available 1991-1995). The 4.0L is the same legendary engine found in the Cherokee XJ and TJ Wrangler. If buying a YJ, the 4.0L is strongly recommended for its power and reliability. Avoid the 2.5L unless you plan to engine swap.
Can you put coil springs on a YJ?
Yes, coil-spring conversions are available for the YJ from companies like BDS, Rubicon Express, and others. A coil conversion dramatically improves ride quality and articulation. However, it is a significant modification ($2,000-4,000+) that requires new control arms, trackbars, and mounting brackets. For many YJ owners, upgraded leaf springs with add-a-leaf packs are a more practical solution.
