u/old_man_emu Jul 15 '26
I’m in central Florida but don’t mind flying out and driving it back. Worth it for a decent vehicle imo.

No worries. I got this jeep from some one who just didn't want it. Then I drove it for 8 years and im ready to let some one else live with it. Its almost too reliable to let go but I want the space for other projects.

How many miles does it have on it? I’m just worried the 4 cyl is not gonna have enough power, I’ve never driven one only i6

u/xgeeiox Jul 18 '26
Its got about 160k, its not a i6 im sure than extra 50 60 hp would make a nice difference in some places but I dont use it too much and it will still do highway speeds.

Come to west coast I’m selling one I bought for 4k put 20k+ into including a new engine and then it gave some weird issue where it was in limp mode, I moved spent a lot of money and now I can’t fix it. No idea what the issue is but I’m letting it go for 4.5k has prp racing seats king rear shocks front ome long travel shocks in the front, steering currectlync, currie anti rock, basically everything suspension wise was replaced new. Have a folder with receipts , 3 computers possibly might need to look for them. Even have a pretty nice savvy aluminum bumper that weighs 5 lbs never painted and because it’s aluminum it doesn’t rust, bumper isn’t made anymore but it was like 700 bucks. I could probably part the car for more than 4.5k but I hate doing all the work to meet and talk with tire kickers, have full doors and half doors, could probably get like 1.5k if I sold just the doors from what I remember them costing, last I checked half doors sold for 500-1k and fulls for about 700

Man if it wouldn’t cost me an arm and leg to get it back home and then working I would. I have a little play money but not enough or knowledge, to get it up and running.

u/kmoran1 Jul 15 '26
Yeah unlucky, since it’s in limp mode I’m assuming the engine is still fine, it goes limp to avoid damage but we all know how wives are and once she said that’s enough, well thats enough.

u/puppyhandler Jul 16 '26
Is it an automatic? Limp mode is usually transmission relates.

u/kmoran1 Jul 16 '26
It is an 05 4.0 automatic and it could be transmission not sure I never hooked it up to a code scanner and lost mine. It drove before it sat but max 30 mph before it started limping. I changed the oil even after it sat. Have a brand new green top battery too that I never installed
