I pickup up this stock '97 4.0 Sport TJ that had been sitting uncovered, outside in Texas for quite some time. It was originally going to be my Ranch Jeep, but then my son fell in love with it and he is turning 16 next month. So I decided to start the build on his daily driver. He does not know... going to be a total surprise! It as 80K original miles and the frame is in good shape.
