How many times has this happened to you?

You see a really nice used 1997-2006 Jeep TJ Wrangler...
You pull into the used car lot (or someone's front yard)...
You check it out, looks solid...
You take it for a test drive... no strange sounds...
You make the purchase...

Then you take it to your local garage, and next thing you know, there are 15 things that need to be fixed before it can be road legal, and your bill now costs more than you spent on the vehicle??? What just happened???

We've all been there at one point or another. And if you haven't, you know someone who has been.

At SFJ, we believe in being as prepared as possible when picking out your next vehicle, especially in today's times when saving money wherever possible is critical. In this video, Neil takes a look at 5 things to make sure you check out when buying your next used 1997 - 2006 Jeep TJ Wrangler. Is it the ultimate checklist?? Of course not, but for the average person, these 5 things will give you an idea of just how much work you're getting yourself into, and how much money you may have to put in to make it your dream Jeep.

Neil takes an in-depth look at problems affecting the frame/body, the steering/suspension, wiring, tops/covers, and modifications.
