I just recently bought a '01 TJ and have been loving it. I drive it
everyday and have done over 4,000 kms in about three months, its been great
with no problems. We are lucky here in NZ because TJ Renegades (they are
not called Saharas here because apparently Nissan has some copyright issues
with it) come in 4.0L only with a rear Dana 44 as standard. At this stage
I have stock wheels which are 16" five spoke alloys with 225/70 R16 BFG AT
KOs. I'll think about upgrading tyre size once the current ones wear out.
TJ has only done about 32k kms so far and is still under original factory
warranty.
It was raining all day today so I had to be careful as my TJ has no ABS.
Cheers,
TW

Re: 2001 Sport
I have an 01 with the 5 sp manual tranny. Love it. One thing to note
though... the manual tranny is noisy. I brought mine back to the dealer
several times before they convinced me it was "normal". Not sure if you
were looking at the auto or manual, both have advantages and disadvantages.

Re: 2001 Sport
Change the oil!
Have same jeep and the tranny was a lot quiter after I changed the oil.
In fact the magnet was loaded with filings.(almost the size of a ping
pong ball) More than what I thought was normal. But I really don't know
for sure what's normal.
