Seeking Wrangler Advice
 

I am interested in purchasing a 'pre-owned' Jeep Wrangler TJ. Currently, my
only significant requirement is that I believe I want a six cylinder versus
a four cylinder. I am looking to use the vehicle as a second vehicle and do
to some casual off-roading with it. A few questions:



1.. Are there any particular model years I should look for or avoid?


2.. Are there any particular options or Wrangler models I should look for
or avoid?


3.. I was going to shop for the Wrangler through conventional outlets such
as Jeep dealerships, non-Jeep dealerships and via local newspapers. What
other options do I have to obtain that 'particular' Wrangler?
Many Thanks!

Re: Seeking Wrangler Advice
 

If you are thinking manual transmission, try to get something with the
NV3550 instead of the AX15. Not sure of which year the changeover was - 2000
maybe? - hopefully someone else can chime in on that one.

Re: Seeking Wrangler Advice
 

First of all, try a Tic Tac or Altoids.

Secondly, how much do you want to spend on a TJ?

-Get the D44 rear end with 3.73 gears to start with and Trac-lock if you
can.

-Get the lastest model you can afford. They work the bugs out as they
go, of couse they might introduce a few too. :)

-Try traderonline after your breath mint.
