2000 Jeep Wrangler SE from North America - Comments

Original Single Layer Soft Top had to be replaced twice due to faulty stitching.

Driver Side Sun-visor had to be replaced due too bad stitching.

Very good all terrain vehicle. I have been able to go just about anywhere without getting stuck.

The soft top assembly (to include the side windows) is very easy to work with. The OEM factory Sailcloth Top that is on the vehicle now makes for a very comfortable and quiet ride at high speeds.

The mechanically operated Dual Range 4wd system is extremely simple yet reliable.

Although factory rated to tow 2000 lbs, I have used this vehicle to tow trailers weighing 2500 lbs or more without any trouble to the engine and power-train.

This is a very versatile vehicle that is more than cost effective to upgrade and/or add vital accessories to. The simplicity and reliability of this vehicle is outstanding.

The starting price for this vehicle was less than all the other vehicles in it's class that I looked at in 2000, and it was the only vehicle that came standard factory equipped with 4wd and a safety roll cage. All though not as comfortable as the other vehicles that I looked at, it is by far the best, most reliable, and most fun.

Great comments, I own a 2000 Wrangler sport as well and really enjoy it. In regards to towing more than the rated 2000 lbs, the engine and trans are very capable of towing well over twice the 2000 lbs. However, the short wheel base of the vehicle makes towing higher weights unsafe during quick moves and rapid breaking. I am certain that is what dictates the low towing limit of only 2000 lbs set by Jeep.

Regards.

This is a comment about a comment posted. the jeep mentioned is the SE model, with only a 4 cylinder engine, the sport model which you have has a 6 clyinder engine, therefore different engine loads and transmission loads apply. for the 2000 jeep wrangler SE model, the manual says 2000lbs. thanks.

In my original review, I think that there was a little bit of confusion. I still own this jeep, and am just as happy with it today as I was when I wrote this writeup. Just to clarify, my Jeep is equipped with the 4 cylinder engine. It has over 45,000 miles on it now; it had less than 30,000 when I did wrote this up. My Jeep is the 4 cylinder and 5 speed. It still tows great; by far the best vehicle I have had to date. It's a keeper...

I am the author of the original writeup; this vehicle now has over 60,000 miles. All of the things on my original review still apply; this vehicle still runs as good as it did the day I purchased it new. Same Engine, transmission, and power-train. All stock jeep in it's original factory configuration still running strong; by far the best vehicle I have ever owned. Only modification is the wheels. I am using after market 15x7 wheels (white wagon wheel) simply because they are cheaper to replace than the factory steel wheels should a wheel get damaged. Major repair work to date: replaced cv joints on forward drive shaft for under $200.00. This vehicle cleans up nicely and still has that new jeep look when all cleaned up. Would I buy another Jeep? Probably not, only because I don't really need to; I will still be driving this one for many years to come!!

I own a 2000 Wrangler SE... The only thing I did was add custom wheels and put a new Bestop. I chose black and I purchased the silder glass half door windows off ebay for 125.00 free shipping. Mechanically I have only changed fluids, filters, and brakes... The Jeep currently has 84000 miles and runs like it was new... I love it> my children love it. I am hooked for life especially since I live in Michigan...
