2004 Jeep Wrangler TJ unlimited

Located in Columbus Ohio
Accident-free, rust-free frame and body

Clear Ohio title in my name

$18,500



Background:

I purchased this Jeep in January of this year as a winter project to pass the time and keep my mind and body occupied during the doldrums of winter and Covid lock downs. During the last 8 months, the Jeep has gone through significant maintenance, clean-up and detailing.

The condition of the frame, body and undercarriage from a rust/rot standpoint is outstanding. Prior to me, The Jeep spent its life in Georgia. For the next guy or gal, this is a really solid base to work from with a lot of general maintenance completed and a fresh interior.

It's is currently on a new set of 33’s with custom steel wheels. It came with a lift of unknown make estimated to be around 4”.

General condition is overall good but not perfect. There are nicks and dings, the paint has rock chips (crappy touch ups) and checking in some areas but there is no body filler or major damage. The engine runs smooth, it starts stops drives and shifts.

What it needs: While allot of things are done it could still use a little more tlc. New ball joints/steering/suspension maintenance, a rear main seal (valve cover is freshly done) and an AC re-charge are in order.

The reason I’m selling. After allot of consideration, I have decided to go after a new JL 2-door with a manual transmission.

Note: The spare tire trash bag (and camping gear shown) does not go with the sale. All the things listed in the details section go with. The original factory front and rear seats are available and can be included if you would like them.

Interior and undercarriage pictures to follow. Happy to provide further details and or pictures.

Nice-looking jeep. Looks like you didn't skimp on what you did do to it.
Question: Do the seats have covers on them or, are they out of a newer model Jeep? I didn't see where you noted that but could have missed it. Thanks, and good luck.
 
Thanks! The front seats and mounts are full new replacements from Corbeau. They are a general purpose design, not Jeep specific but have a nice clean OEM type appearance and physically fit in the TJ space well. I have the original seats that go with if someone wants them.
 
She’s a beauty! drove through Columbus last Saturday wish I could of stopped to see it. I’m sure it won’t last long but if it’s around next week I will come look at it.

What’s the condition of these original seats? What would you want for them separately?

The original seats are ok/so-so. I'm going to keep ahold of them for the next owner for now. If for whatever reason they didn't want them, I would be happy to give them to you.


Currently the LJ is only listed here on the TJ forum. Going to put it out there on other platforms soonish. If anyone has any feedback for me or questions please feel free to shoot me a PM.

Thanks!

if i can get past my procrastination, i may be able to help out in a month or so if you haven't resolved this situation by then.

May not be for everyone, but really dig the steel wheel look. Nicely done and good luck with the sale.
 
i'm doing some similar work and one of the items i didn't understand = Fresh leather wrapped steering wheel hoop
is that a kit? did you take it to a shop?
