I'm glad to see that I've joined a group that has a sense of logic and reality - if the land of fruits and nuts separated itself from the other 50, there would be celebrations in the remaining 49.

Thanks to everybody for all of the helpful info. I may just leave things as they are until it's time for new tires

Rob5589 - 2016 Rubicon. Nashorn 101 - not a Rubicon, it's an '03 Sahara.

Can anybody tell me if I can directly swap Rubicon wheels and tires onto my stock TJ without modifications, lift kits, etc.?

I'm really glad to see that I've joined a "right" (as in correct) thinking bunch.

I'm also new to the forum and have found that questions asked are responded to quickly and with good information. I'm on my third Wrangler having had a YJ and TJ some years ago, I've just acquired a 2003 Sahara. I'm assuming that you're getting a bit "long in the tooth" since you identify as...

Thanks to all who gave me their thoughts. Having looked for weeks, I stumbled on to a 2003 Sahara with 42,000 miles at a NorCal dealer. It was exactly what I had been looking for: Automatic, A/C, two tops, etc. so I bought it for $16k. I think that I may have paid $1,500 more than I should have...

How many miles on each Jeep at purchase: this one is only 50k which seems to be damn hard to find?

I'm back with another value question. 1999 Wrangler, 6 cal., manual, AC, soft top, 50k miles, after market wheels with new tires and new brake (pads) at a CA dealer for $11,999. This seems about $2k too much but low mileage Jeeps in the San Francisco Bay area seem to be hard to find. What do...

Thanks to everybody who replied. I saw the TJ and passed, looked like a neglected Jeep. I live just East of Fan Francisco so area Jeeps should not have a rust problem. Thanks again until the next one.

Tomorrow I'm looking at a 1998 Sport. Pretty basic - manual, soft top, full doors, no AC, 74000 miles, after market rims, new all season tires, good Kenwood stereo - $6650. Any thoughts?
