Try statewidelist.com for your searches.
Allows you to search CL by state and get all the listings for your search in that state. I have also found this site to pickup vehicles for sale that are overlooked by other search engines. The fewer search terms you use the better your results.
I un-check the search titles only box and CHECK the results in a single list.
Much easier to review.
Try it you might like it!

Other than that they are identical. I personally prefer the 02 and older with the rear drum brakes. They are much more reliable in our area due to all the salt and sand they put on the winter roads.
Doesn't the 03-on come with the upgraded spider injectors? Or did they come out earlier?
I was in the same boat a few months ago. My 96 AWD had sprung up a pretty bad lower intake gasket leak, and was overall pretty well worn out. I was on the hunt for an 03+ to replace it. Couldn't find anything remotely close by for a few months, so I took a few weekends and replaced the LIM gasket, front end, rebuilt the steering gear, and got new tires...
I still find myself looking for the unicorn if it ever pops up. If only the right one shows up locally...

I would way rather find another 1987, 4.3, 5 speed shorty in really good shape.
