For Sale is a 1997 Jeep Wrangler 4cyl. 5-speed. It does NOT have ac. It has new Goodyear Wrangler mud tires. 33x12.5x15 on aftermarket steel wheels. It has a 4" lift kit and also has a SYE installed. The rear seal on the SYE is leaking but is a easy fix. The Jeep will also need new shocks including the steering stabilizer. It is a 97 and does have some of the typical rust. Top of drivers fender, and the bottom of the rollbar along with the floor at the base of the rollbar. I bought the Jeep about a month ago and gave myself a MAX budget as this was going to be a 3rd vehicle we really didnt need but I wanted. I looked for several months to find a good jeep in my budget but as anyone who has looked for Jeeps in Florida knows, they are pricey down here. This one was listed as needing a fuel pump, not a big deal in a jeep so I took the drive to go look at it. When I got there the guy started it up and it idle. Kind of through me off because if the pump was bad it shouldnt run, right??? So I figured this guy just wasnt mechanically inclined and I bought it. More then I wanted to spend, but I bought it anyway. Towed it home and went shopping. I knew it needed a top so I bought a Rampage soft top, sliders, and the parts for a tune-up. The next day I started working on the jeep and found several other problems. Leaking afterkmarket oil gauge, rusted rollbar, bad radiator, among other things. So I started replacing parts. After the tune-up it still would not run smooth so i checked the pump...bad. Ordered the complete pump assembly ( pump. both filters, sending unit, and pressure unit) and after installing it ran much better but not smooth still. Did some more digging and found the pressure sending unit on the power steering was bad so I bought a new one and installed. Now it runs good. The rust on the rollbar and the floor has been treated with TOTAL SOLUTIONS RUST CONVERTER several times and then sealed with body filler. Then the interior was coated with bedliner. If I was going to keep it i would replace the rollbar just for safety. At this point I have COMPLETELY blown my budget and need to sell the Jeep to keep from getting a divorce. Like I said it does need a few things but it is a good Jeep. Here is what i have done.... Tune-up ( plugs, wires, cap, rotor ) New radiator New water pump New complete fuel pump assembly New oil pressure sending unit New power steering pressure switch New serpentine belt Newer Rampage frameless soft top Newer Goodyear Wrangler tires 33x12.5x15 2005 Jeep Unlimited front seats Interior has been bedlined Also has a 4" lift...not sure what brand SYE.... again rear seal leaks. $12 fix Things I know it needs.... door uppers...the ones there are pretty worn all shocks SYE seal And the rollbar should be replaced. Not a big job. rollbars are on craigslist for $150-250. No seam sealer on 97 ( probably why it rusted) Exhaust I have not driven the other then around the neighborhood. Like i said I blew my budget trying to get the thing running. I do have a title in my name ready to sign over to the buyer.
