Can't decide on keeping my truck or finding a tj anyone help me out!!
Never heard of bearing problems with a 2000 + Jeep.If you get a TJ, try to get a model prior to 99 - as the 2000+ have issues with bearings, so you'll be replacing the engine.
Couldn't agree more .. I waited 20 yrs before I purchased my first Jeep.. Always wanted one, but I went pick up truck and family car because it was practical,, screw practica!! I got my Jeep now and couldn't be happierYou should only by a Wrangler if you have to. By that I mean you should have a burning desire for a Jeep Wrangler that cannot be quenched until you get one. It's an enthusiast vehicle. They are not practical, have limited cargo space, poor gas mileage, and a choppy ride. Someone asked me how I liked mine. I told them that it was loud, rough, cramped; and that I loved it. So get enthusiastic, dag nab it.
I know a One Jeep fella who lives in a leaking rented camper down on the Niangua whose only two passions in life are trout fly-fishing and smoking them left-handed cigarettes.The only person I know of in this area (don't know him personally) who owns a Wrangler as his only vehicle is a guy on welfare who gets everything free from the taxpayer or charity, including major repairs on his trailer. I would only own a Wrangler as an only vehicle if I rented and didn't own my home.
'03-'06 TJs with manual trannies have open, unused, but very beneficial transmission skid mounting holes underside the frame. Methinks that may be more the reason....the frames seem more resistant to rust from 2003 on. The optimal year is 2004.
