Jeep has (as of this posting) 150,036 miles on it now. No leaks or burning of fluids but some seepage visible - rear main seal, rear diff pinion, etc. Never have to add any fluid between oil changes or maintenance windows. 4.0 I-6 in great shape, auto trans works perfect. Body in decent shape, no major damage or rust to be concerned about. Body does have some body work in its past life that is "so-so" if you look up close. Body work done on the drivers door, around the lock area. Body work done on the roof in a 2 areas. Has a small rust hole in the lower rear passenger side quarter panel, drivers side just edge surface rust, visible in pics. Does have rust in floor under drivers and passenger front footwells, I have just left it alone, cant tell unless you crawl under and look - but the frame, suspension mounts,body mounts all in better then average shape - car appears it was rust proofed and undercoated early in its life. Bottoms of doors solid, rockers are solid. Has an aftermarket electric sunroof that works properly, rattles and does drip in very heavy rains (explains the rust in the floor boards in front only and why I didn't patch them!). Drives nice and straight down the road. Most all functions work - heat, wipers, radio, windows. Drivers door lock solenoid bad, A/C has a leaky line and does not hold a charge, but all parts are there and complete (I tried to charge it when we first got it - and it did run and cool - but leaked out very quickly). Leak is in a solid line, near the battery. Rear liftgate struts are weak. Seats in good shape, interior is not trashed. We have not hesitated to let my daughter drive this every day, and including our trips with our Jeep club twice a year which is 5 hours away. Drove it there, did some fun off-roading and drove it home.
Just passed IL emissions test beginning of July. Aftermarket off-road front and rear steel bumpers with D-ring mounts and front stinger. Aftermarket front slush mats. Aftermarket stereo MP3 with aux in and new speakers all the way around. Interior in decent shape, no rips or tears in seats or carpets. Great first vehicle for someone that needs something dependable and tough. This Jeep always starts - even on the coldest winter days. We wouldn't hesitate to drive it anywhere. 4 wheel drive works great. Price somewhat negotiable, but not much - really because of the tons of new parts, its ready for a new owner - throw plates on it and go!

2018 Jeep Wrangler Spied Looking More Aerodynamic | Autoblog Minute
Sat, May 7 2016This week we got an early look at the 2018 Jeep Wrangler. So what we see in these spy shots, or at least we think we see, is a vehicle that?s going to use more aluminum in a bid to reduce weight and thus improve fuel economy.
Retro Review covers that Jeep Wrangler TJ you wanted in high school
Fri, May 8 2015The Jeep Wrangler TJ holds a dear place in my heart. When they were introduced, the return to circular headlights helped pull my dad into the dealer, and he bought one. A few years later, I learned how to drive a stick in that Jeep. Now, MotorWeek has fired up the time machine for a look at the '97 Wrangler as part of the Retro Review series. One of the great things about these videos is that they offer a chance to see if nostalgia lives up to reality. In this situation, that seems to be the mostly case. Even when new, MotorWeek finds a lot to praise about the TJ, especially in terms of handling and style. It's not all perfect, though, with a major complaint about the braking. Watch the clip to see if the show's take on the Wrangler lives up to your memories of them, too.
