New to Jeeps but not to off roading and the outdoors. After lots of research and looking through hundreds of listings I decided to go with a TJ series Jeep than a side by side. I picked up an 2003 X trim with the 5 speed & 4 liter and only 152,000 miles. Everything is stock as it came in 2003, the spare tire even had a 2001 date code on it. Someone must of kept it off the road in the winters and took excellent care of it. It's been a Michigan Jeep its whole life and has little rust and the frame is in great shape. The title showed the second owner got it in 2008 with 34,000 miles. I've been coming here for the last few weeks for ideas and knowledge.
