I recently bought a 2005 Wrangler SE that’s trail rated. It has 35k miles and I feel like it was such a steal for not being stock. I’m not too familiar with modifications but it is lifted for sure.

Hi all, I am a Connecticut resident, and recent NYC "escapee." I am buying a new car and would like to purchase a Wrangler. However, a family member advised me to do some research as a friend had a bad experience. Last week I test drove an Unlimited and loved how it drove and handled. I will...

Hey everyone. I'm interested in buying a wrangler and am wondering if anyone has any pointers of what to avoid. Can someone point me to a good thread? I'm sure this conversation has probably occurred thousands of times on here. Obviously i know about rust issues. I'm debating between a TJ...
