So, of course I'm keeping my 3 Cherokees but it's time I get the Wrangler I've wanted since I was 16.
Ultimately, I don't know much about them. I assume they go along the same lines as a Cherokee.
The main guidelines I have for buying a Wrangler:
Must be 4.0 and manual.
I'd like a hard top but not that important.
Must be in decent shape and drive well. I want to be able drive this thing on a road trip.
It can be stock or modified but must be done tastefully. I don't want someones old ghetto trail rig. I'd prefer stock. I'll modify how I see fit.
Once I modify it I'd like some nice aluminum wheels, some 31 or 33 inch ATs, a couple inches of lift and maybe a front and rear bumper, a winch and some lights. So that's what I'm looking for in an already modified rig. I'd like to be able to do some mild wheeling but I won't be beating on it. I won't something that actually looks nice.
I like the updated interior of a TJ. I like the small exterior changes of a TJ. Most of all I like that there's no leaf springs sticking out from under the front bumper.
I want a fuel injected engine. I've had my fair share of carbs and don't plan to deal with them again.
Price: I have 5k to spend on this. I know that within that price range I can find a bone stock 97-99 TJ. Or I can find a mildly modified YJ.
It amazes me that someone thinks that a stock 88 YJ is worth the same as a Stock 98 TJ. They sell between 4500 and 6000 bucks. All of them, no matter what year.
Now, my question is which year do YOU prefer within my guidelines.
Are any of these years known for issues? Is there a year that I should stay away from? What do you think I should buy? and finally. Do you have one you'd like to sell me?
