Stock 1998 TJ with 4.0 and AX-15 5 speed.
275,220 miles.
$6000 obo
Been used as a daily driver since 2015 with no issues. It is a really nice TJ that runs great. Brand new 31" Cooper Discovery AT 3, relatively new Bestop Soft top. Half hard doors with sliding window tops. AC does not work and compressor is disconnected. Some damage on front of hood (see pic). Typical 4.0 Rear Main Seal leak. Valve cover seal was recently replaced and no other leaks other than Rear Main. The front seats are in real good shape and are out of a 2004 TJ (they have been covered and the covers are wearing, but actual seats are great condition.) Rear seat is the original 98 seat, but it has seen very little use. There is a Tuffy console installed and the Jeep instatrunk. All carpet was removed and the interior was lined in 2015. Frame and tub in great shape, no rust. I have owned since 2015 and it had approx 225,000 miles on it when I bought it. My son drove it daily and mostly local up until about 6 months ago. I was going to keep it for myself, but in the last 6 months I have only drove it maybe 5 times, so I would like to see it go to someone who will use it.

Few other items and additional pics:
-It needs a new ignition cylinder, 275,000 miles and this one is wore out.
-Turn signals don't turn off when the wheel comes back to center
-Throw out bearing is starting to make a little noise, so most likely a new clutch and throw out bearing is in the near future.

-Needs a new hood due to the damage (pictured above) and could use a good paint job (original paint is 26 years old).

It is fun TJ to drive and being stock it drives smooth and it is geared correctly, etc.... it is just fun! Be a great jeep for a teenager to drive daily or for someone who just wants a TJ to tote around on the weekends. Make me an offer, all I can do is say no.

Here is a few pics of the top and doors.

Resurrected this old thread. Back on the market. It just sits around here and never gets driven, I would love for someone to buy it and actually use it.
