I’m huge jeep wrangler fan, I’ve owned my 2000 model for 16 years.
Very hard vehicle to recommend to others as they are love hate. A lot of people want them end up hating them because there is no luxury with them, but that’s the reason I love mine. love the road noise, leaving the top off in a light rain.
I only do lite trail rides, never had major issue with the jeep other then bending sway bars / suspension hitting a stump, Also electrical with heat/air/blinker etc, but I chalk that up to me leaving the top off for 6 months out of the year and a lot of rain gets in it.
It a one of a kind ride, great for city and country roads, no so fun on highway or long trips.
All manual, nothing electric is how I ordered my 2002 Sahara. Everything still works :) at 176,000 miles.
