New Old TJ

[TUFFRANGIE]

My girlfriend put a deposit on a '97 TJ today and wants to brag, and hopefully be reassured its a good buy.

'97 TJ
Jade Green
Soft Top
American Racing Rims with FAT tyres 325/50/15
1-2in Teraflex Lift
Chrome Bars
The ratio's have been changed as well, it is very low reving, does around 1600-1700rpm at 100kph. I hope this is good

It has very little offroad and cost her $15500 with RWC, it has also been in a magazine, this came with the car so she can brag to her friends. What do you think guys? I don't know much about Jeeps but it seemed to drive well and willbe good fun i hope. All she wanted was a TJ at least she will stop screaming in my ear every time one drives past.

Any other mods necessary? It won't do much offroad.
Is it a good buy?

Here are some pics

And if you read this Trav, don't tell anyone, she wants it to be a surprise

VERY nice, good price too.

I'm pretty sutre I know the car and it's been looked after fairly well.

Just wait untill summer then you'll have HEAPS O FUN

With those revs sounds like the stock ratios, TJ's have a 3.07 ratio standard so makes them rev fairly low while crusing.

Have fun.

Thanks Lexx that is most reassuring

180,000km-around 20,000 a year, not low but not heaps either.

The mag says it has 3.73 ratio's but who knows

Cheers

If they are 3.73 then it must be an auto

Always looking for people to go and have a latte with or maybe a Maccas wheeling session. Enjoy the the most accessorised vehicle in the world.

Manual mate, i must be reading the wrong figures, will find out more info and post up.

Thanks once again

Tuffy, they could well be 3.73. We are just about to do an install of 3.73 into a manual for a customer, that ratio is great for 31's.

The 3.73 are a cheap ratio change over as you only have to replace the front hemishpere to suit the new ratios.

Did I mention I love the colour of your TJ, you don't see many that colour it was a 97 only colour.

[billsta]

The only accessory i'd be thinking about would probably be a new softtop as the 97' softop was an old design and would probably be getting a bit bad to use/look at. A new softop can make the vehicle feel brand new
