Faults:

Just bought this baby last week. It's near mint condition, beautiful inside and out.

Am reading these reviews to get a sense of what I'm in for.

Right now the only issue is that it seems like it could use a tune up.

All speakers are blown, stereo is junk. I'll replace it soon, but that's no big surprise or big deal.

General Comments:

I've already got an old '71 Scout and two Landcruisers so that I suddenly have a Jeep is sort of a surprise. Landcruiser owners typically sneer at Jeeps and vice versa. But I've always admired the big old full size Jeeps and this one came up for sale in my little town and I couldn't resist. I was actually planning to buy a new FJ Cruiser to fulfill my need for a "real car" i.e. something with heat, a roof, and that one could imagine going on a long road trip in. I'm thinking and hoping that this '91 Grand Waggoner is going to fill the bill just fine thank you, and leave me with thousands of dollars. I paid a pretty good bit for it, but bought it from the original owner, who kept it at a second home and always in the garage. Am not looking forward to learning a whole new "language" though in learning about it's quirks and problems, but that’s why I'm reading this web site today. Thanks everybody for your tips and insight.

Faults:

Broke the U-Joint on the drive shaft while trying to accelerate.

A seal is leaking around the fuel line to the carburetor resulting in a small trickle of gas to spew out when the gas pedal is depressed.

Replaced brakes at 107000 miles.

Glove compartment latch snapped off.

Leather is badly worn on the seats.

All, but one speaker is blown.

Upholstery is starting to come down severely.

Rear wiper does not work at all.

Fog lights would remain on after switch is turned to "off."

General Comments:

I own a 1991 Grand Wagoneer: Final Edition. The production number for this year is 1,560. It's rare enough to find a GW anyway. I know of 8 other guys in my area who own GW's, but I still have yet to find another 1991. Just about everything on the 1991 is the same as the last few years of the GW line, except for a plaque on the dash that beefs up the value for the vehicle.

It is a beast off-road. With its 4WD and and immense power, it has powered through many four-wheeling trips. Although, I'm usually there to pull out my smaller Jeep companions. I tend to stay in the back letting them take the chance of sinking because it's easier for my 3-ton Jeep to pull out their 1-ton Jeeps than vice-versa.

For it's large engine size (5.9 V8-360 cubic inch) and much to be desired gas economy (11-city; 13-hwy), I was a little upset over it's wimpy 144HP. Then I found what it lacked in speed, it gained in power. With its 280lb-ft torque, it can pull virtually anything! It easily pulled a 2 1/2 ton Chevy sideways in the wet grass; it never even slipped.

Despite some of the problems I've had recently, this is truly a remarkable vehicle!
