FNG here. I just bought this 2005 Wrangler X 4.0L six-speed.
I don't really know yet what I want from this Jeep. It's more of a grocery-getter/weekend warrior than anything. Probably 90% of driving will be on pavement.
A high school kid had it previously. I met his dad, seemed to be a real gearhead and took a lot of pride in the work they did together on this Jeep. So far I don't have any complaints about craftsmanship.
However, there are things like LED whips that, as a fifteen-year old boy I might appreciate, but as a 59-year old Boomer I am not as impressed. Also I don't like the LED headlights.
I think the 12.50s stick out too wide and make street driving a little more wobbly. I won't change them immediately, but I read somewhere that 33X10.50s are ideal for the TJ.
I want to get a hard top for the winter. Looks like that won't be much of a challenge to find.
I bought it on Thursday. I plan to take it into Collins Bros Jeep this week for a full inspection. They appear to be a well-known and trusted local source.
Any suggestions/advice appreciated!
