2003 Jeep Wrangler Sport review from North America
"A real SUV in a plastik world"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Windshield wiper motor when kaput when it first got cold after snowing.
Had some warranty work done, but it was minor.
Chrysler made a big mistake getting rid of that AMC 4.0L inline six.
Hardtop does come loose after 3 years and causes rear window to rattle:|
General comments?
Awesome!
The Jeep TJ is an icon and a real Jeep unlike that plastic Liberty and sorry 4 door JK (JoKe?).
For an everyday driver, don't go bigger than 31" tires because that's what the Rubicon came with.
I'm young and it's a perfect fit for me, and I'm thankful to God for letting me be steward of it.
The German's killed the Wrangler with that new JK with a mini-van engine that makes its power at higher RPM's that's useless for serious 4WD activity. That's their revenge for losing in WW2.
Get a TJ! Even a last model year ('95) YJ is good also.
