Hello TJ owners!

I have always wanted a a Jeep and I found the right one this year. 1998 Wrangler Sport. My 1st
Automatic( the grandkids could drive it)
86K miles.
Very good condition.
Soft top

I'm looking forward to taking my top off in warmer weather!! šŸ˜„

How do I add a photo?

Thanks
 
Welcome to the forum! Love your name, I used to play some jazz sax/clarinet. I'm old enough to have played a gig with trumpetist Conte Candoli if that name rings a bell which it probably will. In that same band was also trombonist (with a tragic ending) Frank Rosolino, two musicians I worshipped. I was perhaps the weakest musician in that band lol.
 
My 1998 TJ sport
87k miles, 4.0L, auto, cassette player (and I just gave them away).

Nice trifecta with the stock condition, Red color, and half doors. It took me a while to find nice half doors for mine since they didn't come with them.

Thanks. Mine is stock. I recently upgraded the rims ftom a 2001 Cherokee. Also New Goodyear Wrangler tires from Discount. Do you have a Discount Tire nearby? They even wire brushed the rims for a great fit. 100.00 per tire total.
 
Welcome from the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. That is a beauty, but I hope you have some money saved as you'll need lots of it.

By the way - 69 years? I mean, nice!, but is that your age or what?

That’s funny, I’m 69 (70 in a few weeks) have owned a Cherokee for 12 years but always wanted a wrangler tj for the 4.0 like I have now. Your TJ looks great, I hope I’m as lucky, been shopping for a couple of months now. As I did before buying my Cherokee I read up on the Cherokee forum a lot to cash in on all the knowledge that people post and it’s no different here. God bless y’all for helping out us newbies

At 69, we should title this "old enough to know better".

Nice TJ , we will score it a 91 and start you off as a level 5 member , level 4 if you have AARP if Chris is good with it .

Glad you are here ...at my age , I'm glad to be anywhere.
