1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ review from North America
"A truly great American made product"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace one of the oxegyn sensors shortly after I bought it.
The seat has started to wear on the driver's side.
General comments?
This is the best vehicle that I have ever owned. I plan on never getting rid of it.
I have punished this jeep like you would not believe. I've had it in mud up to the parking lights, and I've had it on about every 4wd trail in the Western North Carolina Mountains. I've taken it over terrain as rough as that of the famous Rubicon, and after all of this it still takes me to work and back every day. But the best part is the fact that it's stock!
The only real gripe that I have is that it is hard to drive at highway speeds if the wind is blowing. Even the wind coming off of transfer trucks is enough to make you swerve.
