I have a 92 wrangler with 270k on it, of course the 4.0L and 5 speed combo would not have it any other way hate driving auto, I mean i got it with the intention to do a frame off and keep it as my daily driver and to do some basic offroading with and just to have fun with it. First of all there extremely easy to work on and parts are really really cheap. I got mine with 220k on it from a family friend sat in a barn for a few years cause the guy who owned it passed away and his wife is the one who actually sold it to me. I bought the jeep for 800 with both hard and soft top. I got it home cleaned it up did brakes, suspension, and of course changed all fluids. I drove it then for another 30k or so motor had a bad valve tap but drove it anyways, till one day i pulled the dip stick and saw that i had anti freeze in my oil i'm still debating on what was wrong with it either cracked head or a bad head gasket instead of fixing that motor i just called up jasper and had and yanked the old motor in a day of course while in there i did clutch, flywheel as well. Three days later i had a motor sitting in a crate in my driveway cost me all together about 2400 for everything with the clutch and all with a 400 dollar core charge on my old motor. I mean i knew getting into this jeep it was going to be a project so i really did not mind. I think all in all with the misc things that broke i am into it about 5k with the purchase price i replaced everything just about the only thing that is original is the trans AX15 which i hear and have seen first hand is amazing it's got the original 270k on it as far as i know and i been chirpin second every now and then knock on wood no problems. My heater motor just went bad so i recently in the beginning of winter replaced that the only mods i really have on the jeep are a 2 inch shackle lift and 31 inch all terrains and full exhaust since any car with over 200k is going to have exhaust issues so i just replaced everything. I painted the frame with POR15 and next comes the body work going to prep it myself and have macco spray it for me. I don't need a show car just want it to look nice the jeep does go in the woods often so it occasionally gets scratched here and there.

Any Questions feel free to ask
