Just got my first Jeep on Sunday 7/15/07 after looking for several weeks at both CJ7s (1976-1986) and Wrangler's (YJ's w/square headlights 1987-1996, and TJ's 1997-2006).

Bought a 1997 Wrangler Sport (TJ), 4.0 litre straight 6, 5 spd, White, 1/2 doors, black sailcloth BestTop, Black powdercoated double tube bumpers (mfr unknown), brushed aluminum side step rails (mfr unknown), Skyjacker 2.5" lift, 5 brand new BFGoodrich TA All-Terrains 33x12.5x15 (huge) on black steel rims, otherwise stock drivetrain, nice SONY CDX-MP40 stereo with detachable face w/ Alpine speakers, Viper Alarm w/Motion detector (goes off if someone reached into the cab).
The thing had 76,284 miles on it and had never been seriously off-roaded and it shows.
Not only is the body and original paint and interior excellent, it is very nice underneath also....none of the usuall scrapes and dings from off-road/mud duty.
Oh....and cold AC

Sounds like a good jeep, just watch oput for rubbing wiht only 2.5" lift and 33's

WElcome to WF


and i hope you know about the jeep wave, wave at every other jeep you see

Yea, 2.5" on 33's seems a bit tight. IF your gonna wheel that is. As a dd im sure it will be alright.

Sounds like my jeep when I bought it! Congrats on the great deal, tell me how that alarm works out.

oh and we love pictures so post them up!

When you can list all of those cars, you're showing your age and I feel I must be right there with you. But, all those vehicles can never compare to the incredible experience of a Jeep Wrangler. Got my first one at age 50 and hope to always have one. As the bumper sticker says: "It's a Jeep Thing; You Wouldn't Understand." Welcome to the "zoo"!
