I just bought a 2001 TJ. IM IN LOVE WITH IT. EXCEPT, it WONT START! I CAN jump it and it runs like a dream, but no matter how long it runs or drives, once its off, it stays off, til it's jumped again. Help. Im new to this sight.
Just bought my dream Jeep that has to be jumped to start

Take it to any local auto part store and have them test your battery. That sounds to me like your battery is a goner, I would almost gaurantee it.
Any auto part store can test the battery for free and confirm for sure whether or not it’s a bad battery.

First thing I’ll do is get the battery tested. If it’s bad replace it if it’s low charge it but I would buy a new one myself. New battery should turn on your car. After it turns on run back to the auto parts store and have them test your charging system. You alternator MIGHT be bad as well.
