1991 Jeep Wrangler Renegade
VIN 2J4FY69S9MJ121866
What’s special about this listing
According to the seller, this 1991 Jeep Wrangler Renegade represents one of the most distinctive factory off-road packages ever offered by Jeep, combining iconic styling with tasteful upgrades that make it equally at home on the trail, at local shows, or cruising with the top off. Described as showing just over 91,000 miles, this YJ carries the genuine factory Renegade package, which added an impressive $4,266 to the sticker price when new and transformed the Wrangler with its unmistakable widebody appearance. The Bright Red Trailcloth interior provides a striking contrast against the white exterior, while a touchscreen Apple CarPlay stereo has been added for modern convenience without compromising classic character.
The 1991 model year holds special significance for Wrangler enthusiasts as it marked the first appearance of the legendary 4.0-liter fuel-injected inline-six in the YJ, replacing the outgoing carbureted 4.2L engine. Renowned for its durability and abundant low-end torque, the 4.0L is paired here with a desirable 5-speed manual transmission and Command-Trac part-time four-wheel-drive. The seller notes that a 4-inch suspension lift gives this Renegade an aggressive stance while complementing its trail-ready capability, and factory air conditioning adds welcome comfort for warm-weather adventures.
Recent market activity for Jeep Wrangler YJ models shows strong collector interest in well-preserved and properly equipped examples, with factory Renegades commanding particular attention. This example's desirable combination of the first-year 4.0L engine, 5-speed manual transmission, and genuine factory Renegade package—paired with relatively modest mileage—positions it as a compelling opportunity for Jeep enthusiasts and collectors seeking one of the most recognizable Wranglers ever built.
