Faults:

As with all of the Jeeps I have owned, changing the shocks was a challenge.

Slave cylinder for the clutch failed. Must purchase the entire unit from the dealer pre-bled; expensive, but fast install.

Directional works funky and intermittently.

Exhaust manifold needed to be replaced, but come on... almost 150k, what do you want?!

I love my Jeep. I wanted one for some time and finally bought one.

The TJ's are nothing like the YJ's; their ride is much better and the manual tranny is much better (shifts much smoother). Also putting in a lift is a snap due to the full coil suspension.

Make sure you purchase one that has a hard top and full hard doors. I didn't, and it has been my only regret. I purchased a hard top off someone, but hard doors are hard to find to match colors and are expensive.

It is great off road (duhh it's a Jeep) and is excellent on road as well. I have never actually driven it in the snow, but I'm told that if you are going to, you will need to put studded snow tires on it.

With a good set of tires and shocks, you will be surprised at how well it handles, and how quick and nimble it is.

If I could only have one vehicle for city driving this would be it, but in an auto. There are no blind spots with it, and it handles and corners at low speeds very well. It is also small and maneuverable enough that parking it in the city is great.

My only complaint is that driving it for truly extended periods of time can be difficult.

Only thing that has gone wrong was the battery, because of bad wiring for sound system.

A+++++ I would recommend one to any high school kid like myself.

It runs great, and I love it, even with 35" tires and a lift. It turns like it is on rails.

My head gasket blew at 62050, right off the lot,75 miles after that the jeep started to do what I have come to find is called the death shake, which my personal mechanic has told me, you really don't know what the problem is, so fix everything until it is fixed, shocks had to replaced twice, all new brake system, shoes, rotors, drums, spring coils replaced"rusted in half" new exhaust system, need I go on!

The good thing is it is definitely for fun, getting through off road and snow, but I wish I would have found this site before I bought one because every issue that I have had is listed on this site, I will never buy another jeep or American 4x4, too many issues and to much money to keep up,
