Hey everyone. i got a 2002 2.5, and i’m dying to get a 4.0. i’ve got my eye on 4 options and yes i’m aware it all depends on the car itself but i’m still relatively new to TJ’s so i wanted an input as to what years are recommended and what’s good/bad about these specifically if anyone has any input i’d really appreciate! they’re all around the same price.
- 1997 Jeep Wrangler (don’t know if sport or sahara) - 180k miles (have yet to see/drive jeep, was just contacted by the guy that sold me my 2.5 that he had a 97 4.0 coming in)
- 1999 Jeep Wrangler Sport - 160k miles (1 owner, redone frame 4 years ago, rough interior, small exterior rust spots, half doors no rear window, stock)
- 2005 Jeep Wrangler Sport - 215k miles (incredibly clean frame interior and exterior, comes with soft and hard top, stock ride with new tires, very well maintained)
- 2006 Jeep Wrangler Sport - 199k miles (a few minor rust spots on doors and side fender panel but good frame, 2.5 inch suspension lift, good 33 inch tires)
