"NORTHERN JEEP" 20 yrs old Pictured above !!
Don't let a nice looking, nice price, TJ that you like from up north scare you away.
This is all BULLSHITOWSKI, because it all has to due with if it was, in the salt ? / snow ? / on the beach? off roaded? , how well it was taken care of & or garaged or not !!! My TJ is 20 years old, it's from up north & I also live near the beach. It has never been off road, it has never been on a beach & it is driven in snow only 3-4 x's a year, then power washed & detailed every time afterwards. Most of the towns i'm usually in don't even use salt, only sand. It's ALWAYS garaged & in many cases ( MOST ) cleaner & better taken care of then a majority of southern or western jeeps !! Don't be fooled that it's a southern or western jeep. Just because a car currently resides in the south or west does NOT mean it was born there. Mine is as clean on the inside & underneath, as she is outside. Bottom line is it needs to be on a lift & checked out. Do not buy anything site unseen based off a sellers creative, detailed sales story. Use your own 2 eyes, your own gut & intuition & go from there !!! If you don't know what your doing, then bring someone with you that does. Just take your time, do your homework & keep asking questions like your doing here.
As far as speed ................. HA HA HA.............. just get used to it. The word jeep & speed should never be used together in the same sentence. They are not fast, and even more sluggish with 4cyl, an automatic, bigger tires & an area that's hilly. After all it's a big, solid, heavy, square box, with a terrible windshield rake near 90 degrees vertically. It's like a big snow plow pushing air, with ZERO aero dynamics. Good luck with your purchase, keep us posted.
