Sounds to me like a good candidate for a Cummins 4BT conversion.

if it runs good that price would not scare me. Especially since you could sell the hard top for 500+. I would buy it in a heartbeat. I have owned many jeeps and think for the wrangler models that would be my choice because of the roll bar style.



the islander if i remeber right was a upgrade to the 6 cyl package... i think it came with a back seat and a radio as standard features.



if you have any more q's let me know.

JDougherty,

Thanks for the reply.

Thats what I was looking for.

Yes, the thing runs great.

The hard top is about a year old, she said she paid a grand for it?

Sticker on the back says 4. 0L HO. I no very little about jeeps, I have heard some years have weaker drive trains or axles than others but I'm not sure which ones.

It did have a back seat but her dog tore the hell out of it and she threw it away instead of re-covering it.

I will want to lift it maybe 4", so any help with which lift to get?

Like I said I do no the seller well, and the miles are all on road, highway. No off road at all.

Should be picking it up Tuesday.

Thanks,

Stan
