Damn, the ruined it with those wheels, bumpers, grill, and light rack!
@Chris you threw me off with the new avatar pic! Man they are getting big, pretty soon your wife will be picking out prom dresses with them and you will miss going to the bus stop with them in elementary school....scary but it does go by that fast!

Oh yeah, our 5 year old stars Kindergarten this year, and the youngest is growing quick. You're right though, it's been almost 6 years since we had our first, and I keep trying to figure out where all the time went!

Interesting Jeep, not sure about that grill. Round lights in a YJ grill looks wrong somehow. Why not just put a CJ front if it's a clone anyway?
 
Now that’s the lowest mileage TJ in the United States and the world!
Having been driven only 7 miles per month it's apt to have some issues. It's only had ~60 gals of fuel through itand it's possible (though unlikely) the oil has never been changed.

Yeah, the local guy here who has a 2005 TJR with 3500 miles and a 2006 LJR with 3500 miles puts airline fuel in his lines. Not sure what that does, but that's what he told me. Supposed to eliminate problems from the Jeep just sitting. Still, pretty cool with such low miles. Bet the paint looks good. Bet the interior looks immaculate. Only issues would be the engine, tranny, mechanical. Bet the electrical is good as long as it's been stored well.

Oh, is that all? haha
I'd actually be concerned about the electrical as well if it sat anywhere that rodents could get to it.

Ok, I guess a TJ with sub 2,000 miles is a bad idea! I guess I’ll just go for something in the 200,000 mile range

I’m just saying, you mentioned the drivetrain being a potential issue. That’s nothing to sneeze at. I mentioned potential electrical issues, which can be a nightmare. Tires get flat spots and crack, as well as anything else made of rubber… hoses, serp belt, bushings, gaskets, suspension, brake lines... Brakes like to be used including the parking brake. If gas sits it can cause fuel system issues. All fluids should be flushed and replaced. The a/c can dry out, you can have battery issues…

The seller is not the original owner, he bought it with 725 miles on it from someone who “stored it” for 10 years. The guy gives absolutely no information on what has been done to maintain the vehicle.

The wheels, bumpers, side steps, lightbar and color aren’t my taste at all. Honesly, I would rather own a <$10k Rubicon with 200kmi that was clean, driven and maintained and wouldn’t be afraid to drive it, much less wheel it than drive this ugly thing.

I agree the chrome is ugly. And it’s OBVIOUS you would look it over personally before buying it and barter over issues. :) Not trying to argue. Just said it was likely the lowest mileage TJ in the country and if stored “properly” would likely have no electrical issues.
