Purchased it in November 2014 with 195k miles to use for mobile Search & Rescue but I'm finding that it just doesn't have enough room for transporting ground units and all the gear I need to carry. The only time it has been off road is when I've been on a search driving forest service roads.

The previous owner told me the engine had been replaced around 120k miles but he had no documentation to prove it. The engine runs very strong with great compression and acceleration, so I believed him. I've known many other TJ owners who have driven these engines for 350k+ miles before having to rebuild, this is hands down the best engine Jeep ever used which is why I bought it.

208k+ miles (daily driver)
4.0L 6 Cyl engine with AEM Brute Force cold-air intake
5 Spd manual transmission
4WD works flawlessly
Full Doors
Hardtop
New Bestop Safari full black denim Bikini top with full Bestop Windshield Channel
New BFGoodrich Duratrac 31x10.5x15 tires purchased @ 196k miles
Black 15" Jeep Cherokee wheels

Exterior:
Looks like there was a small accident on the drivers side front fender, it doesn't bother me since this isn't a pavement princess jeep. I was going to order a pair of Rugged Ridge front fender guards to hide the damage.
Came from the factory with a soft top, the hard top was added after the fact but works well, there is no soft top.
I removed the rear tire mount because I don't like the look of it on jeeps especially with a highway tire as a spare. It can easily be reinstalled & I do still have the spare tire to go along with it. Dual outside mirror mounts so the mirrors can be moved to legally drive with no doors on, like a Jeep should be driven in Summer!

Interior:
The rear carpet was beyond saving, so it only has the front carpet. I was planning on spraying the tub with bed-liner if I was going to keep it. Driver's seat has small tear on the side.

Work performed by previous owner in the last 25k miles:
Water pump, thermostat and coolant flush
New front brakes
2" aluminum spacer lift

Work I've performed on the Jeep since purchasing:
Tune-up - New distributor cap, rotor, plugs & premium wires @ 196k miles
New LUK Clutch kit & Flywheel @ 196k miles
New Dynomax Super Turbo Single Exhaust System; w/Stainless Spout
New Bosal Catalytic Converter & front pipe
New upstream & downstream BOSCH O2 Sensors
New rear drive shaft grease-able heavy duty U-Joints
New AEM Dryflow air filter (washable & reusable, no oil required)
New Quadratec Premium 2" Receiver Hitch w/ wiring harness (used to tow small aluminum fishing boat)
Frame mounted, very strong and stable. Rated for 200lb tongue & 2,000lb tow weight.
New fluids: transmission, F/R differentials & transfer case @ 196k miles
New gaskets - oil pan, valve cover, F/R differentials @ 196k miles
New ignition key cylinder (the original key & cylinder wore out) @ 207k miles
New Hella Vision Plus 7" Round HB2 Headlights, much brighter than stock.
New 6" ProComp spot beam fog/driving lights
New battery hold down brackets, battery looks old but just tested good
New speakers in speaker bar, the old ones were worn out and torn
New Front Tow Hooks
New transmission shifter boot bezel
I've changed the oil three times since purchasing, switched to Mobil One full synthetic with K&N Oil Filter when I replaced the gaskets
AM/FM/CD radio w/ removable face plate
Rugged Ridge CB Radio Dash mount
Rear TeraFlex antenna driver & passenger side brake light mounts (used for Ham & SAR radios)
Quadratec All Weather Rear Cargo Liner
LED Interior overhead light

Current issues:
Fuel gauge is intermittent when the weather is cold, works fine when it is warm I just reset the trip meter every fill up just in case
Heater dash light is out, rest of the lights work
Interior light door switch is not working
Drivers door needs to be adjusted, rubs a bit on the top
Drivers door weather strip needs to be replaced, however it is not leaking
Wipers don't work in intermittent mode

The only trade I will consider is a 100 Series Toyota Land Cruiser (1998-2007).
