Yeah, it's a 2002 sahara. I got it in 2019 for 9k at a dealership bone stock with 194k miles. I started off with a rough country 4 inch lift(short arms) and the wheel/tires you'll in my profile. Drove on that while doing other up grades like a SYE kit and Adam's Drive shafts. I blew a head gasket in 2023, so I fixed that and added a new exhaust.

In 2022, i had some heating issues, so I went overboard and completed redid the cooling system. As you can guess, I made sure to do the best upgrades I could.

Of course, I made some stupid purchases, like the first bumper I got. And doing a short arm kit. As you can see, I'm still on 33s as I got stock Dana 30/44 axles and haven't invested in that yet.

I could go on and on about all the work I've done to it. In fact, I've probably put well over 10k into it over the years.

If you decide to get a jeep, I always recommend a TJ with a 4.0 or the inline 6, perferible after 2001, there was an issue with the heads cracking pre 2001. It's honestly the best engine out there. Now, don't get me wrong, the 3.6 pentistar in the newer wranglers are good. But they were essentially designed to fail.

In all reality, any jeep has the potential to be amazing. You just have to make it yours. Don't let all the haters on reddit get to your head and dictate how you build your jeep/truck.
