Title: High Mileage LJ
Post by: Gorg on November 29, 2014, 12:45:24 PM
Looking for some opinions from folks that know better then i do. I'm thinking of picking up this LJ (http://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details.html?adId=1009886827), i've been wanted another TJ after selling mine about 2 years ago and i like the idea of the space and potential of the LJ.
However, I find the mileage a little off-putting even for a 4.0L since i don't know its history, also i wish i could get my hands on a Rubicon but i need to trade in so my selection is limited.

Any words of wisdom?

181k is low milage for a 4.0L. Get a compression test done if all cylinders are fine Id buy it and take care of it.

I made the journey to go see it, i wish the dealer was more forthcoming before i did. If anybody is interested in it i have some pictures, it runs fine, the body is too rough for me though.
