1997 Jeep Wrangler SE review from North America
"Something to try once"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Broken sway bar link.
Top is shot (why do they still make a vehicle where you HAVE to replace the top, and why is it $700?)
Mystery problem that randomly makes the Jeep buck and its not the TPS.
Other than that its pretty healthy.
General comments?
The first time I took it off road it threw an electrical fit.
Any kind of super swamper tire does not let you drive highway very easily and they make you get about 7 MPG.
I put some tasteful upgrades on the truck (stereo, TV, canyon wheels, thornbirds, real HID lights) and the ladies love the thing...that's why I still have it, but I will be parting ways with it soon.
I think it's a great vehicle for anyone who can put up with it. And if you live in a hilly area, don't get the 4 cylinder!
