I would like to hear what year your TJ is, your engine type, how many miles, and what your major/semi major repairs have been.
I have owned a 1999 4.0 Sport since December 2012. I bought it with 115,000 and now have 135,000.
I had to replace the alternator, several wheel bearings, front sway bar, manifold, tires, the gas tank guard, and do some frame work.
When I bought it I knew there was going to be some of this work. But now that I have it fixed up, I think I should be good to go for a while. The engine and transmission are great.

I too have a 99 sport with 118k 4.0 5 speed got it last July with 111k. The pass side frame was already fixed but the driver side wasn't so that's on my list to do. Also I did a zone combo lift which gave me a few issues with knocking sounds which I ended up changing all u joints in both drive shafts did nothing, saw the exhaust was hitting the frame from the mml so changed exhaust. Fixed a lil so I just changed the tranny mount. Now the banging gone but bad vibe at idle. When I put the 33s on I desperately need to change my gearing from 3.07 to 4.10s or 4.56. Getting there one piece at a time
