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.

Supplier says Jeep Cherokee hack only affects FCA cars
Wed, Aug 5 2015Harman doesn't think that drivers need to worry about any further hacks of its products. The company supplies FCA's Uconnect infotainment system where a software vulnerability is responsible for a 1.4-million vehicle recall. "This experimental hack is unique to Chrysler," Harman CEO Dinesh Paliwal said to Automotive News. "This does not exist, to our assessment, in any other vehicle." The reason that the company wouldn't be involved is that automakers aren't simply plugging in the existing infotainment systems into new vehicles. According to Paliwal, Harman supplies the unit, but FCA and other automakers are able to make additional modifications for their vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has also recently taken up the question of broader software vulnerabilities in Harman's products. On July 29, the agency began investigating the company to check for similarities between Uconnect and the infotainment systems supplied to other automakers. The Jeep hack became national news when two researchers were remotely able to take control of a Cherokee. The vulnerability in the cellular connection even gave control over the brakes. "Once people get in the car and get into the CAN bus, then you can start to mimic and mess up many, many things in the car," Paliwal said to Automotive News. Politicians immediately responded with legislation to create federal standards in hopes of protecting drivers better. NHTSA also opened an investigation to make sure the automaker's software update actually solved the problem. Related Video:
Stellantis reports $15B profit in first year of merger
Wed, Feb 23 2022FRANKFURT, Germany — Automaker Stellantis said Wednesday that it made 13.4 billion euros ($15.2 billion) in its first year after it was formed from the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and PSA Group. The earnings nearly tripled profits compared with its pre-merger existence as two separate companies, as the maker of Jeep, Opel and Peugeot vehicles exploited cost efficiencies from combining the businesses. The result compared to a combined 4.79 billion euros for the separate companies in 2020 before the merger, which took effect on Jan. 17, 2021. Revenue for the combined business rose 14%, to 152 billion euros. CEO Carlos Tavares said the results “prove that Stellantis is well positioned to deliver strong performance" and had overcome “intense headwinds” during the year. Automakers have struggled with shortages of key parts such as semiconductor electronic components and rising costs for raw materials as the global rebound from the worst of the coronavirus pandemic brings more demand. The company said the benefits of the merger were worth some 3.2 billion euros during the year. Mergers can lead to streamlined costs as companies combine functions and spread fixed costs over a larger revenue base. The company accelerated its rollout of battery-powered vehicles, with sales of low-emission vehicles reaching 388,000 — an increase of 160%. Stricter environmental regulations in Europe and China are pushing automakers to roll out more electric vehicles with longer range. Stellantis started production of a hydrogen fuel cell commercial van under its Opel brand in December. Stellantis' other brands include Chrysler, Citroen, DS, Fiat, Maserati, Ram and Vauxhall.
