The interior was heavily upgraded with a new 12" landscape-mounted touchscreen for the infotainment system. On the sides, the round headlights were pushed furthermore inside the bodywork and thus were protected by branches, bushes, and other off-road-specific obstacles. ![]() Like the rest of the Wrangler range, the Willys featured the new, smaller grille, which was integrated into the body-colored front panel. In 2023, at the Easter Jeep Safari and at the NYIAS, the carmaker introduced the 2024 model year of the Wrangler Willys. Over the years, even the styling of the Wrangler lineup resembled that vehicle, and apart from one generation, all others featured round headlights, for instance. This sturdy 4x4 car helped the Allies win WWII. Jeep never abandoned its heritage and also bragged about its connection with the Willys. ok of the graemlins/soapbox.Based on the same sturdy chassis of the Wrangler JL, the 2024 Willys version was a nice surprise for the American automaker, which also came with a locking differential for the rear axle. and after all that they ended up with my engine that was running better off 3 cylinders than the pile of junk they sent me. $1300 down the drain for the engine and I can't remember what the mechanic charged. I had worked all summer to save enough money for the engine and it turned out to be a pile of junk. this happened back when I was in high school. Alot of people have had good luck with the engines but not me. ![]() I have even turned down used cars that I was going to buy just because they had a jasper engine in them. I figured it would even cost more money that I did not have, to take them to court so I just left it at that and decide never to buy from them again. They would not replace the engine either. Their response was " oh we did not know you needed the parts right now" I told them I needed them a month ago. After a month of waiting for the parts to fix the engine they never showed up so we called them back. The mechanic called jasper and they said they had some bad rings that came out about when the engine was rebuilt and that was the problem. Yes it was installed by a certified mechanic. the engine was drinking oil from the start. The problem I had was with a jasper engine in a ford ranger. Note: I have neither the time nor the ability to do this kind of labor on my own. Any opinions or advice will be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks! Not to mention my attachment to the vehicle that I've grown to love over the last 7 years! But I also don't want to throw my money away on a repair that won't last. Any reliability issues? Do they uphold their warantee without major hassles? (3 years, 75,000 miles) Are there other alternatives? Do you think this is a reasonable deal? It'd be nice to say, "Ah, the hell with this one, this is a good excuse to upgrade to a newer model!", but I'm not really in a financial position to do that right now. I'd really like to go forward with the repair, but I'm interested to hear about other experience with Jasper engines in the past. I've recently replaced the clutch and the radiator (1.5 years ago) and haven't had any major issues to speak of since I bought the vehicle 7 years ago. That's far cheaper than looking for another new or used model. I got a quote from a local mechanic and he says that the engine + labor will run $2750. I've looked around and it appears that JASPER remanufactured engines may be the way to go. Even if there was, the mileage on a used 1989 engine would probably be far too high to bother replacing it. I looked around for a used engine, but there's nothing available. But now my engine is completely dead - had an oil leak during a long trip and it sustained heavy damage. ![]() ![]() I do some light off-roading, but nothing too risky because it's my only vehicle. It's currently got 120k on it and I typically put 3-5k per year. I have a 1989 YJ with a 4 cylinder, 2.5L engine that I bought used in 1999.
