I had a 00 Wrangler. Drove it for 14 yrs I guess. Had 218,000 miles on it and sat for a year while I was in Korea. No issues aside from the blower switch kept going which was annoying. Terrible on gas but never let me down or left me stranded. Driven back and forth from GA about 7-8 times too. My wife got a 2008 wrangler and I traded that piece of sh*t back in like 6 months. Turd doesn’t do it justice. Now they’re all too fancy and expensive for what it is. If you aren’t going to use any of the 4wd the rubicon models, locking rears and oversized gears are a total waste of money. They’re mainly marketed to women nowadays and they’ve made a killing doing it. Good for them I guess. I wouldn’t buy another one now. Long gone are the days of actually having to use the drain plugs. Fake, fake, fake says I!!
