1998 Jeep Wrangler TJ - Sahara 3" suspension lift For sale by owner. 1998 Jeep Wrangler Sahara edition - Thrown Rod !!! This Jeep has a thrown rod and is being sold as-is. I will give thorough details on it's condition so you know exactly what you're getting. Please read the whole description if you're interested as I've already put a ton of money into this vehicle and it's in better condition than most Jeeps you'll find. This Jeep has been my daily driver for years. It had never broken down before but the miles were getting high so I decided to stay ahead of the curve and keep up with maintenance. I had a new head installed on the old motor and that caused a rod to be thrown. It actually will start up and run but I don't want to damage it any worse so I don't start it. The rod did not come through the block and it's still holding oil. New within the last year - - New head, valves, springs, gasket etc. - $1,300 - has about 200 miles on it - New water pump, thermostat - New power steering pump - New catalytic converter - New windshield - New evaporator and A/C service - New ball joints front both sides - New wheel bearings front both sides - Alignment - New shocks (4) - New springs (4) - Brake pads - front - Rotors - front - New spare tire 31" Courser - Transmission service by Jeep dealership - Differential service, front & back, Jeep dealership Features - - Soft top & Frame - Hard top, black, tinted, rear defrost, rear wiper, rear squirter - Full hard doors - Air conditioning - Automatic transmission - Overhead speakers - Fog lights - 33X10.5" BF Goodrich MT tires - Outlaw I wheels, 3.75" backspacing, including wheel in spare tire - Class 3 trailer hitch - 3 07 gears - 3" Full Traction spring lift, disconnecting sway bars, Skyjacker shocks, 15.5" of clearance at the skid plate This Jeep has never been off road and never abused. The floorboards are solid. The drive train is solid. Since I don't work on cars you don't have to worry about the previous owner working on it himself and doing something wrong. Everything was done by the Jeep dealership. The transmission was inspected by the dealership and they said it was in great shape. They told me I could throw a rod if they put a new head on there and I didn't listen. They said it created too much pressure in the bottom end. But somebody who knows how to fix it will be getting a nice vehicle. The frame is straight, the tires wear evenly, rust wise the underneath is in great shape for it's age. The title is clear. No funny business on my end. Flaws - The paint on the hood is in rough shape but there is no rust. There is only one spot of rust on the whole vehicle - just to the right of the tailgate. When you wash and wax the thing it looks really nice besides the hood. The paint is coming off the mirror brackets. Every TJ from that year seems to have the same issues. The zipper for the rear window of the soft top could use a little TLC. It's hard to use but doesn't leak. Other than the rod that's just about everything that's wrong with it. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
