2003 Jeep TJ Sport review from North America
"Ultimate Off-Road Vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch went at 30,000 km.
Seats worn.
Front pinion seals blew at 18,000km.
Shocks blew at 24,000km.
General comments?
This Jeep is the ultimate off road vehicle. I have a 3 inch lift kit with 33 inch mud tires. I have the extended fender flares, which stops most of the mud from getting all over the vehicle.
I did not have a very good fuel economy, but I recently purchased a chip and air intake, which increased my fuel economy for city driving, but made it worst for highway.
My Jeep doesn't have much power when I hit the highway with wind or hills, but when I take it offroading,and there's no other vehicle that can touch me.
I have 9 fog lights on my Jeep, which help out for the poor stock headlights that the Jeeps come with.
