Idaho 2003 Wrangler Sport Soft Top - Low Mileage, No Rust - Boise, ID - $13,500

[driver]

Price

13,500

Location

Boise, Idaho

Sad to be trying to part with my TJ, but a growing family is soon going to require more space. I've owned this for 5+ years and it's been great. I'm asking $13,500. I may consider offers. Local pickup and cash payment would be preferred, but we can try to work something out if you're not local.

I've never seriously off-roaded this Jeep and I don't believe the previous owners were either, so the most wear and tear it's seen has been pavement driving or dirt roads.

Basic Info

• 2003 Jeep Wrangler Sport
• VIN: 1J4FA49S33P315996
• Soft Top with Half Doors
• 76,xxx miles
• 4.0 6 cylinder
• Manual transmission
• Clean title, no accidents. As far as I'm aware, I'm the third owner.
• Original color was maroon/burgundy. A previous owner Rhino lined the exterior, so now it's black. Except for a few spots that could use touched up, the liner is actually in pretty good shape.

The Good

• NO frame rust at all
• 4" lift and 33" mud tires with same-size spare. Tires probably have 1/3 life left on them if I had to guess.
• Transmission shifts perfectly; strong, consistent idle; starts without a fuss in hot and cold weather
• Heater is HOT (no A/C in this Jeep)
• USB port added in dash
• Soft top is tight and does not leak at all. Windows are clear.
• KC HiLiTES headlights installed. I still have the originals in fully working condition.
• Aftermarket head unit with aux in
• Original jack and tire iron are in the jeep
• Regular routine maintenance: tire rotations, fluid changes with high quality fluids, etc.
• Recent other maintenance: new fuel pump, new cooling system

The Bad

This Jeep has been reliable and, beyond routine maintenance and replacement of worn parts due to age I haven't seen any major mechanical issues. There are a handful of minor annoying things that you'll want to know about.

• Very slight pull to the left when braking. Have never been able to figure out the issue exactly, but haven't looked hard either because it's pretty minor.
• Gas gauge is inoperable and sits on empty (which often gives me a chuckle because it seems way too truthful).
• Center console lock is missing.
• Slight door sag in the passenger door and rear tailgate. Hinges will probably need to be replaced at some point.
• Very slow oil drip. I suspect this is a tiny rear main seal leak that you often see with the 4.0 engine. The pace of the leak has not changed since I bought the Jeep and there's no need to top off oil, so I haven't bothered to put the time or money into fixing it.
• Cracked windshield. The crack is not in the driver's vision, so it's street legal here in Idaho. I have a new, uninstalled windshield that I'll include with the sale.
• 4wd lo does not engage. I think this is likely just an adjustment of the shifting cable. I found that I never needed 4Lo so I never got around to doing it.
• Seat tilt mechanisms are very fussy and the passenger seat is particularly bothersome right now. I had intended to install new hardware to iron all of that out, but never got around to it.

Extras Included with Sale

I have some odds and ends sitting around that I'll throw in with the sale if you want them. If not, I'll either sell them separately or give them away.

• New, uninstalled windshield
• Misc. hitch accessories: storage tray, etc.
• Aftermarket mirrors and foot pegs for when the doors are removed.
• Original headlights (fully functional and in great shape)

I'm now realizing that I didn't get interior pics of the driver's side or dash, etc. Will try to update later or send upon request.

NOTE: Original radiator bit the dust after I took these pictures. The cooling system has been replaced, so there is now a (nice) aftermarket radiator in there instead.
