Greetings. I picked this thing up a few months ago. It's a 2002 4.0, 5 speed, dana 44 rear w/3.73s. Its only got 40k miles on it & the previous owner was the only owner before me. He even gave me all of the dealership paperwork including a 2002 sales brochure and Mopar accessories booklet. I'm not really in the financial position to be buying a toy like this, but I got it from a neighbor for a fair price and I didn't think I'd ever find a similar one again (low miles, one owner, no accidents). It's not perfect, paint on the hood is just starting to delaminate a bit, the soft top is an older Bestop unit that's starting to show its age. The instrument cluster lens is scratched and both speakers on the passenger side aren't working. I don't like that the old roof rack bars are mounted with bolts that required drilling through the tub. Also it had a Bestop instatrunk installed, so more holes were drilled in the tub for the nutserts that mounted that thing.

Right after I got it;

Threw some full doors on it and gave it a quick wash;
