TJ and YJ Differences

[OIIIIIIIO]

Other than the interior, lights, and the coil suspension, Do TJ's have any major differences from the YJ? Do they have the same engine/tranny/t-case? Do the 97+ SE 4cyl engines differ from the other 4 cyl? If you have any info on the changes they made from YJ to TJ please post them or email me at [email protected] I am doing a project on Jeeps and need some info...thanks - Taylor:sun:

I just drove my first TJ yesterday and I have to add one difference that really bothered me vs. my YJ. The seats on my YJ sit up about a foot from the floor board while the TJ seats are right on the floor like a car. I noticed that I didn't have the same view over the hood and dash like my YJ. This might be all in my head but the 4.0 automatic I drove seemed anemic in the torque department compared to my YJ too.

The models have changed up a bit. For example the sport used to be a whole lot better... like top of the line. (Saraha just had some fancy interior that was hell to clean out) Now the sport doesn't have nearly as much equipment as it used to come with. I heard they get 5hp more out of the TJs due to a new exhaust. I don't know this for a fact though. Oh and the traditional hood latches are gone. I don't have a new one though. I have just looked at everyone elses. So I don't really know that much about the TJs. But I know a good bit about the YJs as that was my major automotive interest in high school and college.
