Went off-roading in a CJ5 last year in Cle Elum, WA and had such a blast i swore to myself i'd own a jeep myself sooner than later. Then last July, i found a bone stock 1999 TJ Sport (chili pepper red) with 130k miles. no rust. busted drivers seat and a bad soft top - picked her up for $4000. And it's easily my top 3 favorite cars i've owned (and i've owned 37 vehicles to date).

I've always modded cars growing up - but i've also learned over those years to buy once, cry once. So with the Jeep, I planned out my build and will take my time buying once and crying once haha.

To date, i've replaced the busted tan top with a new black top. replaced brakes, pads, rotors, calipers, drums all around and new rear shocks. upgraded speakers and head unit with a small amp. scored a Warn Zeon 10S winch and winch plate for deals. and upgraded to LED headlights.

Looking forward to learning more about this expensive/rabbit hole of Jeep life and also looking forward to being outfitted properly to hit some trails!

Great looking TJ and awesome photo as well! Tons and tons of people on here from the PNW.

$4000 is a hell of a price.

I too have owned a very large number of cars (over 50), and I can say that of all the cool cars I've owned (which include a Hellcat, Z06 Corvette, etc.), the Wrangler TJ still remains my favorite!
