Any thoughts on the Bestop Sail Cloth rag tops? Just got one, so be kind and or lie. Window halves are tight, didn't get to the rest as of yet.

Getting rid of the 4.0 I6 was dumb.


Good motor, but they got horrendous mileage. They would had to seriously revamp it due to the CAFE requirements.

I bought a new 1997 wrangler with the 2.5L quickly grew to hate it, and sold it in 2000, to get a used 2000 wrangler with the 4.0 which I still have, 115K miles no issues. I would avoid the 4 banger at all cost.

The 4 is pretty terrible, in terms of power. If you don't get any headwinds or don't need to go over 65, it's fine.

11K is all the money for a 4, even w/ low miles.
