1998 Jeep Wrangler User Reviews

Good Vehicle — There's a few kinks in my 1998 Sahara Edition Wrangler, but it's an awesome ride. The exhaust manifolds on these jeeps should be tossed first thing. The first time you go wheeling, the manifold with crack due to being hot and suddenly exposed to cold. They now make a flew tube manifold that will take that kind of temp change without trouble. The top is easy to remove or put on, it's not too heavy, but could use an quicker easier way to take on or off than using bolts that need tightened of loosened. I have a hardtop so I have very minimal leak problems, BUT, the gaskets that they use on the hard tops are very prone to becoming stiff (especially if exposed to hot weather often). I've had to take the rear window gasket out and lay it out in the sun covered in vasaline to get the elasticity back several times, to prevent more leaks, which then cause mildew and mold on your seats. Drain holes. I do go out in the mud, puddles, ect, and I've had to drill 2 new drain holes in the back seat floor boards and hammer the floors down to slope towards the holes in the front floorboards. OTHERWISE I get a bunch of standing water in my floorboards once I'm done washing my jeep out. It was a PAIN to find (I had to make them) plugs for the holes I drilled in the back floorboards. The bumpers definetally do what they are intended to do, but if you take your beast wheeling with stock bumpers.. I dare you to hit a tree. Those suckers bend like twigs. The only other negative thing I have to say is that Jeep REALLY should've matched the rear dana 44 and put one in the front as well. Instead it has a dana 30. If you get caught in some clay and put it in 4x4. It's likely you won't have the front end pulling you anymore. That dana 30 will blow pretty easy. Other than that, I LOVE my jeep, they are put together pretty damn well, and are one of the most fun vehicles you could possibly own.

If I Find A Nice One, I Wouldn't Hesitate To Buy It... — Performance - Scaring Build Quality - Acceptable Appearance - Robust & Bold Cost of Ownership - Very expensive Fun Factor - This is the most fun car I've ever owned, it gives me the freedom were ever I go... A true legend... It's a JEEP Thing You Wouldn't understand ;))

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

Jeep Wrangler — Runs great. Love the soft top. Standard tranny, yuck! Very pretty green. Reliable, and fun to drive. Not a good grocery getter.

This Vehicle Has Years Of Fun Left In It. — This is the best vehicle I've ever owned and I'm sorry to lose her. Always starts, 4wd goes thru anything. Hard top for winter soft top/no top for summer. Legendary straight six engine will run longer than I do.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

Great Looking And Running Jeep Wrangler — this is my 1998 wrangler. nothing to special, quality is very good nothing wrong. Promormence i cant complain much about, however a 4 cyl. with 33"'s and only 4 10 gears is a little much. Gas mileage is about 13 or 14ish with my little tires on i got about 21. But this car has always been fun to drive.
