Got A New Toy Over The Weekend!

Just recently moved to Colorado Springs and my 2wd F-150 just wasn't enough for the places I want to go around here so I bought something a little more fitting and yes I still have the F150. Got a great deal on it at $5500.00. Has a new top and brand new carpet still in the box. Here are the specs.

1998 Jeep Wrangler TJ
4 cyl.
73k miles

Mods-
Put Stock Rubicon wheels on it with Goodyear MTR's
Repainted all the fender flares and bumpers

Future Mods-

4" Suspension Lift
33"s
Lockers
Exhaust and Intake

Let me know what you guys think!

I've been looking at Jeeps for a while now. You got a decent price with that mileage. How strong is the four banger? Great looking Jeep already.

Nice looking rig

I would have held out for the 4.0L but the 4cyl is still a decent motor. I would really consider regearing before suspension lift and 33's

Even if you just through a locker in there you would have a great wheeling rig.

The 4cyl is not too bad. This is my 5th Wrangler I've had and two of the five were 6cyl. You notice a difference, but as long as yo don't go much bigger that 33's on the 4cyl then you fine. Also if you get one the small engine mods make a pretty big difference like the CAI, throttle body spacers and exhaust. I had that on my last 4cyl and it ran pretty good with 33" M/T's

Looks good! I really like those moab wheels. I miss my Jeep I had a YJ w/ the 2.5L and it was fine w/ 33s and stock 4:10s on the trail and in town, but was awful on the hiway. You're going to lock the D35?
