Well-spotted by boredalways: matches my wishlist (engine, transfer case), close to home, affordable.

Hopefully a little cleaner than in these pics. Svend, your skills are desperately needed.

Forgot the link, d’oh.

How many miles?

Any accidents?

Leather or cloth?

4L or 4.7L?

What specifically are you concerned about on this WJ?

No questions to ask, just hoping it's in good shape and more reliable than your current Jeep if you decide to buy it.

Best combo is 4.0/Selec-Trac

I agree.  Thats the one my grandma had, though I will say the 4.0 wasn’t speedy at elevation.

More reliable wouldn’t be hard.

Selec-Trac, 4.0.

205, dunno, cloth, 4L, is it going to die soon, or gush oil like the last two Jeeps  I’ve looked at.

Good luck. I bet you can get someone here to run a carfax, if you haven't already.

Front bumper appears to be the wrong color?

Yeah, he mentioned  a small accident. He hadn’t owned it for long so it’s Carfax time.

The difference between the 4.7L and 4.0L is quite dramatic. Have driven both now in WJs and there’s no comparison. SO SLOW.

It’s funny how that works. My 4.5 it is sooooo much slower than my 4.7 v8. All is bout those revs. My i6 is done by 4000 and my v8 pulls hard right up to redline at 6000

The WJ must weight a hell of a lot more than my LJ because the LJ has no problem with that engine. I suppose the stick helps though.

I'm not throwing stones, fwiw. There was no CL link when I had replied.

2.5 makes it more like the grail was melted down to make a sad trombone.
