2000 WJ

[L1OFF]

I picked up a nice 2000 plate WJ 4.0 Ltd at the weekend for not a lot of money . I've owned 2 before (97 4.0 Ltd & 4.0 98 Orvis. The steering on the 2000 is streets ahead of the other 2 without any vague wallowing and the impression that the steering wheel is not actually connected to the wheels . She has FSH until 10K ago (currently on 93K) so I'm planning on an engine oil & filter change but can't see anything in the history about transmission or diff oil changes so will need to look at this.

Good trucks, mine is up to 250k miles & runs fine still. Being broken as the offroady bits under it are worth alot more than the Jeep itself. Now have a v8 one :-)

What can you get a half decent WJ for these days ?
I did look at adverts for Wranglers a few weeks ago (day dreaming....) and they've gone up in price !

WJs start at around 1200 and go from there. At 93k all the fluids need changing.

I absolutely loved mine, (a 4.7 V8) I owned it for longer (5 years) than I have ever owned another car, and would still own it now but for a change of jobs meaning 80 miles a day.... that was a little pricy on the fuel for me so sadly it went.

Would have another like a shot if circumstances allowed.

My wife loved hers, it was almost the last WJ CRD with the Merc 2.7 5 pot. Needed reliability for a lot of miles now (about 36K between us) so we have a pair of Renegades, hers is a Trailhawk, I have a 2.0CRD auto Limited. Thinking about a WJ 4.7 for weekend fun.....

I've got a 2000 WJ 4.0 on LPG.

It was cheap, and I love it.

I've covered about 40,000 miles in it over the last 18 months, most of the time towing a trailer!
