To your original question I have 173k on mine still runs strong. Well as strong as the 4 angry squirrels can go!

Keep in mind that once they're that old, there's not enough cost savings with an I4 over an I6 to make the I4 a good choice. Not to mention that in real-life driving situations the I4 doesn't really get significantly better fuel economy than the I6 does.
What are the benefits of a sahara? I found a very very clean 3 98 sahara one owner vehicle.
Mine drove me nuts. For example, There's a big hill nearby that I called Mount M**********r because I had to climb it in 3rd and the best I could do was about 50 mph with people giving me a lot of 1 finger salutes.
That's some funny stuff lol. Traffic on cali highways normally slow as Fuck anyways and I don't plant on doing more than 30 miles or so on high way a month with no grades
Well either this will end up a lesson in life for me or my gem who knows but making the trip for that red 97 2.5 5 speed that I posted pics up. If the engine and transmission are in good running shape and there's minimal to no rust I'll be paying $5000 for it. I know it has 160k miles on it so what should I be looking for tomorrow with that high of milesYeah, if you're in California you aren't going to be going anywhere fast, so the I4 is probably right up your alley!
Can anyone tell me about that passenger door? I'm really not that familiar with the interior of tjs and am abit concerned about the way it's hanging.I was informed the soft top didn't leak at all durning this recent cali storm
Yeah very limited high way use. I'm prepared for that. The most high way its gonna see is getting it home LOL!I think that as long as you buy the 4 cylinder knowing that it will absolutely suck balls on the highway, you'll be fine. So in other words, as long as you're not buying it with the intention of highway commuting, I think you won't regret it at all.
It's people who buy it and do a ton of highway driving that end up kicking themselves later.

Thank you very much. Very useful.That's just the interior of the upper passenger side door skin. As long as the frame is straight (and you'll know that it is if the holes of the frame line up to the slots in the top of the door) then replacing the skin is fairly inexpensive. Each skin will add $30-$50 to the cost of a soft top when you buy a new soft top. When you look at the jeep, just pull the upper door out. Its only held in by gravity so it pulls straight up. as long as the frame comes up fairy easy and sits correctly when the door is closed, its good. Look at the you tube video from Best top. Go to the 10:15 spot and watch it for 2 minutes. This part shows you how they change out the door skin on the frame. Pretty straight forward.
Around here 5k for that red TJ isn't a bad price, and it WOULD have some rust. Most decent yj and tjs in this region are always priced between 4 and 6 thousand with the 4 banger engines.
CJs have gotten silly expensive, especially the late 70's Renegades.
yj and tj Sports and Saharas with 4.0s are 5-7k and even a lot more for 03-06, depending on mileage.
I was looking at your pics...does anybody else think those seats look like YJ upholstery?
