1997 Jeep TJ



















picked up this TJ over the weekend. I know a few of us on here also have Jeeps @nvrenuf @Chickntrk @CharlesC83 that I know of.

has some issues, rear axle shaft is broke, supposed to have a Super 35 kit in it, no front driveshaft, steering box leaks, transmission slips. but it is long armed, has 39" radial Iroks on it that I feel are too much but can use on something else (probably going down to 35s). it did come with a title. I keep whining about having too many vehicles and projects but for the price I paid for this I would have been stupid not to.

Can't drop a bunch of pics and not say what's up. New to you? Old wheeler you dug out of your yard?

Why is it so angry?

 

[ZooMad75]

Wholeheartedly approve. But dump the angry grill. For the love of Buddha throw that part away.

Why is it so angry?

Probably from all the neglect

39s on a 35 I can’t imagine how it broke a shaft…
Looks like a good start to a great little wheeler, agree on 35s…a super 35 kit will hold up decent with those..I have an 05 and the gf has a 2000.

I picked it up in Shreveport and drove back to my sister's in Weatherford and spent the night; next morning in the daylight I was looking at how to get it off. thankfully it looks like it just an overlay on the grill. not like on the JK where it replaces the grill

That LJ is awesome.

 

[Chickntrk]

That TJ on tons is sweeeet!

 

[fourwheelerjeff]

That TJ on tons is sweeeet!

thank you. a poser pic of the LJ in front of an offroad shop and a sad pic of the ton TJ. guy told me he wanted to buy it but didn't want Nitto 40s on it as he would have a hard time getting in. I had some Nitto 37s I put on and then he didn't want it.

 

[nvrenuf]

I keep telling myself to get some flat flares like those on your LJ for ours but I don't want to spend the money and then have the wife say she doesn't like them.

High hood it and 37's @nvrenuf Mary will love it!

No high hoods for me, they just look weird. It's probably "evolved" as much as she's going to allow, she doesn't want to change anything else.

 

[Chickntrk]

Is the ton TJ still on the market?

 

[fourwheelerjeff]

TX - 2000 Jeep TJ

don't know if it will get much traction here but need to sell 2000 Jeep TJ. has the 4.0 with an AW4 out of a Cherokee and a 241OR RockTrac. SuperDuty axles and Artec trusses with 5.13 gears and Ox Lockers. rear is setup for air and front is still cable although I have the conversion kit for the...

in this thread I was asking $16500; however I am going to drop it to $12500. some stuff has happened since the ad went up. when I was robbed they stole the title. since I was still working on it the title was not in my name yet. I told the sheriff's dept. what happened but no one has a clue about getting another title. either bonded or going through Vermont. one of the Ox lockers was already running off air and I bought the kit to convert the other one and will include it. however they stole the regulator and paint ball bottle to run the air to the lockers. it had a brand new Adams driveshaft in the box in the bed for the front they also took. as stated above it has 37s instead of 40s and those 40s are sold. I was going to swap out the Rubicon transfer case but will leave it if you are interested.
