I bought a 1997 TJ Auto for a very low price knowing most of the issues but as it is for my daughter I have decided to go through the entire Jeep pand either replace or restore as I go. To date I have stripped the front axle and replaced the wheel hubs, calipers, brakes axle seals, the entire front suspension, unjoints and bearrings.
now I’m on to cleaning up the front frame and applying POR15. Doing a lot of glass beading do the old parts and repainting.
the motor has 300,00 km on it and I’m trying to decide if I should run it until it dies or pull the pin and rebuild it. Im not looking for crazy power just a safe ride.
excited to be on the forum lots of great articles.
