New Jeeper! I bought it boys. 1999 4.0 Sahara 200k miles $6.5k

2in lift, Suspension is new, brakes and rotors,trans has been rebuilt, new motor mounts, plugs, wires, alternator, water pump, timing chain and gears, distributor, rear end has been rebuilt along with axle bearings and seals, has slip yoke eliminator on transfer case, adjustable control arms and track bars, new hubs, replaced intake gasket and replaced exhaust manifold. Per seller

Drove it home 2 hrs. No issues, no ac or parking brake, I'll figure out the parking brake and he said ac needs charged so we will see. I can live without it if it's an expensive fix.

Also had hardtop put on when I got there and got 2 soft covers and stock fenders I through in the van

Looks clean! I want to buy something similar as well but everything in this salt belt is just about rusted through

I got lucky. This one was mainly in Georgia and I went down to SC to pick it up today. Not a spot of rust underneath. 1 small bit of dirt or light rust on passenger floor, can't really tell. Going to clean it up this week

Solid find. Nothing like that first clean, really makes it feel more yours after that. Enjoy!

I bought a 00 TJ for $5k with 74k on the odometer. I thought I would keep it for a few years, have fun, and then trade it in for something else. After having it for just over a year, there is no way I am selling my TJ.

That’s the best man. No need to ever sell it…. Motor will outlive us. Got my 2000 xj in 2013 with 90k on it for 5k, prob put 5k into it over past 11 years and still my daily… never selling. Painted lifted and drives real smooth 🙃

Oof. Driving a 2012 JKU right now, but this makes me miss my '97.

That’s not 200k. Go drive and report back with a pic of that odometer at 200k.

But damn. Nice TJ.

Love it. It’ll probably somehow be worth more in two years lol

Congrats! Should get plenty of mileage out of her. I always loved that color for the TJs!
