Thanks for the responses, they are very helpful. Tic Tac or Altoids won't

each model year brings many improvements, or at least things i consider to
be "improvements". '98 brought rotary environmental controls. '99 lost the
cam bolts on the axles. '00 replaced the ax15 with the nv3550 tranny. it
also upgraded the ignition to operate without a distributor. '01 added a
much improved soft top, as well as tinted windows and the trac-loc became
standard on the d44 option. afaik there were no changes from '01 to '02
(other than replacing forest green with shale green) and '03 added a 4 speed
automatic, "inca gold" paint, "high back seats" (that totally suck if youre
under 6'2"), and of course the rubicon option.
what price range are you shopping in? when i start shopping for used tj's
for my kids that will start driving in a few years, ill probably start
around the '00-'01 year models as i believe their ignition systems to be
superior and even more water proof than previous years.
