what are the things to be looking for
witch troubles
what ever
please help

Alot of the usual wear and tear items are r.w.c items anyway, things such as the steering knuckle ball joints that wear and you can see the nut not looking like it is tight, control arm bushes wear out reguarly if it gets used off road, clicking under acceleration usually from the rear upper control arms, steering arms bed like bananas, rear axle seals leaking, etc etc.
Just make sure that it has a proper rwc done and not a dodgy one.

As with any 4wd, always try to buy the most unmodified street only wrangler.

I've had mine for 5 years and i've had fewer issues than my mrs' holden AND her camry combined.

the wrangler is completely stock exept for bumper and rocksliders but they where only put on for show
the car belongd to a guy who only drove it onroad to impress the lady's so lots of bling bling on it and a great paint job
i think the bling bling factor isnt gonna stay on it long as im goeing to use it for what its build for
driving in the dirt
sorry for my bad english its becouse im from holland
greets manus

It sounds like a good vehicle to start with

Here in Oz, the 99 and earlier models are prone (well reasonably common) to cracking the exhaust manifold. The 2000 model and later less so. Fix is either weld the crack or replace with extractors.

If it's been a onroad only car then I would suggest just checking the standard things on any road car - brakes, steering, accident damage etc and check it has been services regularly.

it has seviced like it should no accidents been reported with this car no leaks

id say its perfect for a 17 year old car

woaahh! 17 years old? It must be a CJ7 or a YJ or something from that era.

Just get a qualified mechanic to take a good long look at it and give you a list of problems. A car that old will no doubt need a few things to be fixed or repaired but it just depends on which bits
