For sale is a well equipped '97 TJ with a little shy of 140k mi. The Jeep is garage kept as I keep the soft top off, as it is only driven on sunny days without the chance of rain. There are half doors on it now but I have full steel doors with matching paint which are included. Also included are the spare tire with matching wheel which is not on the vehicle now, as seen in pic.
The engine is the famed 4.0L which is virtually bombproof when maintained. As such...the oil and K&N filter have been changed every 3K miles. I just had the Jeep shop in Chester Springs, PA replace the radiator with a updated stainless steel one. Also done were the water pump, thermostat and housing, valve cover gaskets, stainless steel brake lines, rear evap line, brake fluid, coolant temp sensor, brake master cylinder, serpantine belt, and new interstate battery.
I purchased this vehicle from a friend that works at Quadratec if all the extras look familiar. Every option has been done right as moreless everything has been updated from stock including a one-off custom roll bar, stereo, speakers and sub, seats and suspension. There are a ton of upgrades as the Jeep has been used in Quadratecs photo shoots.
While driving this past year, my son hit a deer and there were scratches to the ARB bumper which I did not repair but the WARN winch that is attached works perfectly. Because of the accident, I had the drivers side fender, hood, and grill re-sprayed and cleared in matching flame red. Also replaced were the Bushwacker fender flare, painted and cleared as well. Since you can't purchase only 1 flare that was scratched by the deer, I had to buy all 4. I replaced all but 1 of them because I had intentions of repairing some small rust on top of the passenger side front fender before it gets worse. It's not bad, but bothers me. I have the other flare if someone that purchases the Jeep wants to repair it since the flare should be taken off anyway and replaced with the new one.
As anyone knows Jeep, this vehicle could easily be driven as a daily driver if the commute was small, but driven long distances will kill you at the pump due to the lift and tire size. As for the tires...they will pass inspection which is up in September but they are getting close to needing replaced.
Included in the price are a safari top, new alternator, hawk brake pads, clutch kit, lights and bulbs, and many extras given to me from the gentleman I purchased the Jeep from. None of these need replaced......they are just extras. I also have an extra wheel I will include.
It kills me to have to sell the Jeep as I have taken extreme care of it and it's a phenominal "toy". Unfortunately due to a divorce and unseen attorney fees, the toys must go. My loss is someones gain as this Jeep is a head turner and will run for hundreds of thousands miles if well maintained. Anyone familiar with the 4.0L engine already knows this.
Paypal only please.
Feel free to call or email me any questions and I'll respond as soon as possible.

2014 Easter Jeep Safari kicks off with six concepts
Thu, 10 Apr 2014The 2014 Easter Jeep Safari is set to begin this weekend in Moab, Utah, and while it's sure to be a blast for Jeep enthusiasts from all corners of the world, we're looking forward to the wild, off-road ready concepts that Jeep will be bringing to the red rocks. As you can see in our handy headline, there are six such vehicles in total, each of which sports a variety of tweaks and custom bits.
Unlike in years past, where Jeep graced us with some outrageous concepts like the Mighty FC or J-12, this year's vehicles are a bit more restrained and a bit more buildable by enthusiasts. That's not by accident, officials tell us. They wanted to put this year's focus on attainable vehicles and accessories from Mopar and Jeep Performance Parts that existing owners can use to augment their own vehicles. So let's get to it.
We'll start with the Wranglers first. There are three concepts of the jeepiest of Jeep coming to Moab - the Level Red, Maximum Performance and Mojo. The Level Red and the Mojo (seen above) are similar from a suspension and engine standpoint. Both boast a two-inch Jeep Performance Parts lift kit, which officials tell us is coming to market in the next few months. There are a pair of Dana 44 crate axles on both the front and rear, while a Jeep Performance Parts Rock-Trac transfer case has been fitted. The 3.6-liter V6 engines on both Jeeps can breathe a bit easier thanks to a new cold-air intake and exhaust system.
Stellantis suspends vehicle production in Russia
Tue, Apr 19 2022MILAN - Stellantis on Tuesday said it was suspending production at its Russian plant due to logistical difficulties and sanctions imposed on Moscow. The world's fourth-largest automaker, which produced and sold the Peugeot, Citro¸n, Opel, Jeep, and Fiat brands in Russia, has just 1% of the country's car market. It runs a van-making plant in Kaluga, around 125 miles (201 kilometres) southeast of Moscow, co-owned with Japanese carmaker Mitsubishi, which halted production at the facility earlier this month. "Given the rapid daily increase in cross sanctions and logistical difficulties, Stellantis has suspended its manufacturing operations in Kaluga to ensure full compliance with all cross sanctions and to protect its employees," Stellantis said in a statement. The plant employs 2,700 people. The company will continue to pay salaries through a local downtime scheme and by using anticipated vacation periods, Stellantis told Reuters. It said it did not know how long the stoppage would last, adding that its priority was its staff and the return of peace. Stellantis had already suspended all exports and imports of vehicles with Russia, following Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, moving production to western Europe. It had also said it was freezing plans for more investments in the country. Van production in Kaluga had remained just for the local market. Scores of foreign companies have announced temporary shutdowns of stores and factories in Russia or said they were leaving the country for good since Russia began what it calls "a special military operation" in Ukraine on Feb. 24. Stellantis Chief Executive Carlos Tavares in late March said the group would have to close the Kaluga plant shortly as it was running out of parts. Separately on Tuesday, General Motors Co said it was extending its suspension of business in Russia due to the conflict and international sanctions. The U.S. automaker, which initially suspended imports into Russia and commercial activity on Feb. 28, said it was laying off most of its 66 employees and providing them with separation packages. GM does not have plants in Russia and only sold about 3,000 vehicles annually there prior to the suspension.

Jeep driver nearly gets washed away by fast moving river
Wed, May 11 2016Just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should. For example, you should never attempt to cross a fast-moving river in a bone stock Grand Cherokee no matter how shallow the river looks. Especially if you don't know what you're doing. A video posted recently to the Facebook group Jeep EXPERIENCE, shows an inexperienced jeep driver learning that lesson the hard way. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. The video starts innocently enough, with a group of off-roaders watching one of their friends attempt to ford a shallow looking river. Things quickly go sideways however, when the driver of the silver Grand Cherokee just plunges right in and quickly gets in over his head. The river is moving faster than the driver thinks it is, the driver panics, makes some bad decisions, then the jeep is turned over and swept downstream. Eventually, the jeep is hauled out by a Land Rover after a long comedy of errors that involves one guy losing his trousers to the current and the Cherokee ingesting untold gallons of water. What went wrong here? Well, It's pretty obvious from the video that the Cherokee driver didn't have a clear idea of where he was going or about the condition of the riverbed. He chickened out halfway across the river, and in what appears to be a misguided attempt at turning back, he reverses, digs himself deeper in the riverbed, then turned broadside on into the current. When he changes his mind again and decides to just gun it for the opposite shore, he drives directly into a deep water hazard that would have been obvious to an experienced off-roader. At that point the jeep and the driver were doomed. Hopefully the driver learned a lesson here, and hopefully he didn't pollute that river too much with the jeep's fluids.
