hi all. i receantly purchesed 94 wrangler yj that needs lots of work when i look for parts they allways ask for sub model i have no idea what sub model it is how do you determine what sub model you have. Any help would be appreciated
 

S(2.5L 4-cyl. 4x4 5-speed Manual)
SE (4.0L 6-cyl. 4x4 5-speed Manual)
Sport (4.0L 6-cyl. 4x4 5-speed Manual)
Sahara (4.0L 6-cyl. 4x4 5-speed Manual)
Renegade (4.0L 6-cyl. 4x4 5-speed Manual)

The Sahara and Renegade have special sticker packages.

I'm sure someone else chime in with some other information also...

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 using Jeepz
 
And have automatics too. My wife's was an automatic with no cruise control (which was a bummer)
 

Actually, just list your jeeps options and we can help you decide what to tell the autoparts store.

the only place you have to really worry about differences is in alternator and belt routing. As long as the sub model has the same engine/transmission, all the other stuff is the same minus color, seat material, and little things like that.

i specifically have to tell them Laredo on my 87 because of the air conditioning option. It makes my belt different and my alternator.
 

You can add that option if you can pick up the parts and pieces from a junk yard.
I added an aftermarket Cruise Control (new) that (at the time; about 5 years ago) was about $90 from fleabay. Ended up having to replace it with another, but now it is working like a champ!
 
i know you can use cherokee cruise control also (because the cruise on my 87 and the cruise on my old cheroke xj were the same)

1991 Jeep Renegade


From 1991 until 1994, Jeep produced an options package on the YJ Wrangler listed as the "Renegade Decor Group". Initially, all Renegades were White, Black or Red. In 1992, Blue was added, in 1993, Bronze. The Renegade Decor Group was a $4,266.00 option over a base Wrangler in 1991 and included special alloy wheels, exclusive body flares, along with many other features.
Contents of the Renegade Decor Package

  • 4.0 Liter (242 CID) I-6 Engine
  • 30x9.5R15 LT OWL Wrangler A/T Tires
  • Exclusive 5-hole aluminum wheels, 8 inches wide
  • Full size spare tire
  • Highback seats with Trailcloth Fabric
  • Off-Road Gas Shocks
  • Power steering
  • Fog lamps (integrated into the front fenders)
  • Leather-wrapped steering wheel
  • Renegade striping (door letters)
  • Floor carpeting (full width, and on insides of body tub)
  • Floor mats, front
  • Extra capacity fuel tank (20 US gal.)
  • Color keyed fender flares with integrated bodyside steps
  • Front and rear bumperettes (plastic)
  • Center console with cup holders
  • Courtesy and engine compartment lights
  • Interval wipers
  • Glove box lock
A hardtop was a $923.00 option and came with a mandatory rear window defroster at a $164.00 premium. Although soft-top models came standard with "half doors", full framed doors with glass windows were an option. Renegades typically had the tilt steering wheel ($130.00) and an AM/FM/cassette stereo radio ($264.00). A column shift automatic was also an available option, but it was not popular. While a base Wrangler with the inline-6 went for $12,356.00, the Renegade package pushed that price up to $18,588.00 in 1991.
These vehicles were sent as optioned Wranglers to Auto Style Cars in Detroit, where the Renegade Decor Package was installed, then shipped back to Jeep for delivery to dealers. Renegades all have a small sticker on the driver's side door, right above the latch denoting the visit to ASC.
At the price premium over a standard Wrangler, sales were fairly limited, so finding one today is a semi-rare occurrence. The price, plus what hardcore Jeepers felt were "funny looking plastic fenders" limited the sales. Although having nearly identical off-road capabilities, these Jeeps were typically used as "beach cruisers" due to their premium price and rarity, as well as because their over sized flares and body cladding were not necessarily designed for the abuse that tree branches and over-sized tires can often cause.
[h=3]Trim levels[/h] North American YJ/Wranglers were available in the following standard trims.

  • Base: also referred to as "S" & "SE" at different points in the model run; first few years the back seat and rear bumperettes were optional, some years the 6cyl engine was an option, other years only the 4cyl was available in the "Base" model.
  • Laredo: Chrome grille, bumpers, and trim, hard top and hard full doors, tinted windows, faux leather interior, body color fender flares and alloy wheels)
  • Islander: See Islander
  • Sport: which featured "sport" graphics and, beginning in 1991, a 4.0 L 242 CID inline-6-cylinder engine
  • Sahara: which came standard with most available options, including body color fender flares and alloy wheels, also included with the Sahara edition are special green trail-cloth seats with storage pockets, interior door panels with pockets, front bumper mounted fog lamps, and plastic ends on the front bumper)
  • Renegade: See Renegade
  • Rio Grande Available in champagne gold, moss green and white and (rarely seen) Bright Mango; with a Pueblo themed interior trim package. This trim was only available in 1995, and was added to spice up the base 4-cylinder Wrangler 'S' models
