I've wanted a wrangler for a long time, have been thinking about trading my 2001 F 150 Crew cab in on one. started looking for one about a 2 months ago. Looked at this one Christmas eve, and had the day off today-so went for a drive. 75 miles away...
2001 amber fire-auto-soft top -half steel doors-33's. Must have gears - as I had no problem getting up to speed. My 1st impression- I cannot believe how sharp it turns. Unbelievable..... The soft top made quite a bit of noise. ( new top- don't know the brand ) flapping at the top-front. I could hear the zipper tabs jingling. I could hear the exhaust- not loud ,but noticeable. Seemed to be a blind spot looking to the passenger side rear.seat was stuck to far back for me-but seemed comfortable.Everything works. temp stayed at 210-heat works great-hard to check the a/c as it was only 50 outside .
The bad , rear main seal leaking and the tires were worn to about 5 or 6 mm. ( used car lot ) I was able to drive it for about 40 minutes. Really hard to compare to my truck - nothing alike. Hard to believe my big truck is valued less than a smaller jeep!!!! :tomatoes: they are asking $9100, 135000 miles.
