Hey again,
According to the sticker above the door hinge my TJ was manufactured in 10/99 (2000 model), the 6th digit on the VIN is 4, meaning it's a sahara for 97-99 models but a Sport in 2000. It has the Sahara stickers on both sides but not the typical Sahara green interior...
Paint code: PG8 (green)
Trim: K5AZ (Agate ?)
Everything looks pretty original to me (except the rims)...
Is it a sport or a sahara? :D Has anyone evert seen a Sahara without the camel/green interior ?
Thanks again
 
Yeah, it says Sport... it's weird
If it's truly a Sport, I'm gonna try to take off the Sahara sticker and put the Sport one on.
I hope I'm not gonna ruin the paint, though.

If it says it's a Sport then it's a Sport. I've never seen a green Sahara with anything other than a camel / tan interior.

Taking the sticker off won't ruin the paint, you'll be fine.
 
It doesn't have the Sahara kick panels below the doors, either.

There's already a Detroit Lions emblem on the windshield. :p
I usually like to keep my cars original, but I might make an exception for the TJ.
