That sucks! Sorry to hear. Mine is starting to rust on the body, nothing I have noticed undercarriage wise. How many miles does she have?

The amount you save in not going to the pump is worth it.

I just traded in a VW Jetta Turbo Diesel that was getting 35-38 MPG. If the Jeep can get 25-30 that's totally worth it.

When I was a kid I played in this thing in the basement of the neighbors old barn.

220k. Had 91k when I got it 8 years ago. Engine still strong. Just too many little things I am tired of chasing.

That's badass! I'd love to see any progress pics you have when you start working on it

Just picked up 4 of these bad boys for my 04 Wrangler. I've been doing a lot of tune up stuff by myself. I've never been an auto mechanic type, but it's been fun and I've learned a ton.

Changing the blower motor resistor had me wanting to go on a killing spree though.

I have a JK. Been good to me so far. Definitely looking forward to seeing what it can do this winter.

Just bought my wife a 4 door Sahara I don't hate the 4 doors as much as I thought I would it still turns well and faired decent on the trails.
