I've got an 86 Pick-Up with a four banger... and for as awful as I treat the truck It doesnt give me ANY troubles. FYI, the 4x4 versions have slightly different lock set ups, so dont lock your keys in the car, AAA couldnt even get my doors open. Other then that... rust? Some of the colors for the 80s beds also oxydize... but thats a cosmetic thing, just cover it in mud.

I bought my 95 4x4 22re almost new. Now has 83,000 miles.
I had to replace so far: • Battery • Starter • Tie Rod • Front Brakes
Sound Good?
I have also replaced belts, cap/rotor, plugs/wires, fuel filter, etc.
The truck has been ultra reliable. The only prob. I have now is
I suspect my timing chain guides are shot which is common on
the 22RE with the factory plastic guides. There are replacement
metal plated guides. Many say this is the best 4 cyl. made. For
my $, they're right on. Plus with nice tires & rims, it is pretty
sharp looking.

anything after 85 is what you are looking for. the 22re is quite a bit more fuel efficient than the older carb models. find yourself an 85 strait axle toy with 22re, some 33s, gears and your choice of lockers, and go spank the hell out of that yj. i wouldn't be too surprised if your bro followed suit.
