Well of course the 97 Wranglers came out in 96, just as the 2008 Jeeps will hit the shelves any day now! I didn't say no Wranglers were built in 96 just that there is not a 96 model year Wrangler. wikipedia says about 50,000 YJ's were built in 96,I see it on the internet so it must be true <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> I'm sure they were sold as 96 models just as I'm sure they are just the last of the 95s. You can find parts listed for sale for 96 YJ's all day long but try to find a Factory Service Manual for one. They don't exist because Chrysler never made one. The majority of web sites I've seen say YJ's from 87 to 95 and TJ's 97 t0 06. It is pretty trivial, I should have kept my virtual mouth shut I reckon! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />
