first jeep

  1. LostintheForest

    I officially bought a running, driving TJ with under 200k for $500

    Gotta love a kind neighbor. A family a street over had this sitting in front of their house the whole time I lived in my neighborhood, and one day they put the house up for sale, and the jeep moved. I figured that since they kept up-ish on inspection maybe they weren’t interested in selling...

    Front side blinker bulb types (European)

    I have a 2001 TJ from which the front Blinker is broken. Just as I was checking out if it was the fitting or just the bulb I found out that the other side fitting was replaced and weirdly glued into place. The bulbs for these blinkers seem very hard to come by on the European market. I am not...

    Just bought my first TJ!

    My father has owned this 98 Sahara for about 10 years now. I have always enjoyed driving this with him. 4.0 with 5 speed manual and lots of accessories. I just bought it from him and drove it about 700 miles back home. This is my first off road style vehicle, so I have a lot to learn. Just...

    Talk me out of this sub 10k mile LJ

    Hi all. I have my eyes set on a 2004 LJ with ~4k miles on it. 38k, located at Collins Brothers Jeep in Texas. I would want this to be a daily driver, planning on putting ~10k miles on it yearly for commuting and fun. I need something that is reliable so I can get to work everyday. This would...

    Building my TJ - inaugural post

    What's up everyone! First time TJ owner in the Tampa area and absolutely loving it. Over the past year I've been having some under the hood work done to it and I'm motivated to get this thing to near tip-top condition. Most recently, my ECM went on it (replaced with Wranglerfix ECM) and also...

    New Member in New Mexico

    Hmmm... New Member in New Mexico — NM in NM... LOL! Oh, sorry. Squirrel! Just joined today from the Middle Rio Grande Valley of New Mexico. I bought my first Wrangler — a 2000 Sport, 4.0, 5-speed w/hard top and 184,000 miles — on Monday. It's pretty stock right now. The 4.0 is quiet and...

    Quarantine Sanity

    Hi all, Long time lurker and finally a member! Got my 99 TJ Sport back in June and have been slowly bringing her back to her former glory, while also maintaining my sanity during all this craziness. I've never had a jeep before - always been more of a Ford guy - but I have to say this thing has...

    Purchasing first time TJ (rust)

    Trying to purchase my first wrangler for a relatively low price. I know rust is a problem on jeeps but I don't know how bad this one is. Was hoping you guys can tell me how bad and how to treat it.

    First time buyer in the market for a TJ (need help)

    Okay, I'm looking to become a new TJ owner but am having such a hard time picking. Here is California, Jeeps are pretty expensive and a lot of them already have things done to them. Only problem I fear is that if I buy a stockish TJ, will I end up spending more in mods rather than buying a TJ...

    My First TJ - 2004 Sport Columbia Edition

    I've wanted a TJ since I was a kid, and this past weekend I was lucky enough to finally get one! After much searching, we found this one about 6hrs away (a small price to pay for my dream vehicle). It's a 2004 Jeep TJ Columbia Edition with about 180,000km on it. It's a 5 speed standard with the...

    I want to buy this Jeep but I need your help

    GF helping me show it off haha. This’ll be my first car. I found my dream 2002 Jeep Wrangler SE. The owner is the 4th owner who got it at an auction. It had been in a collision in which the insurance company deemed it a “totaled car.” Apparently all it needed was the bumper replacement. I...
