got another tj

[superj]

we picked up an 02 sport yesterday afternoon. it has been sitting since 2019 since the guy had a heart attack and then the crank sensor went out. he said he cannot work on anything anymore so it just sat. it was his beach jeep so the underside is pretty rusty but the engine and trans are solid, he says. he said the whole jeep actually is great, once the sensor is replaced. its got a lot of add on junk that my son likes so even if the frame is worse then we think, the mounts and steps, cruise control, and a good transmission are worth the 1k we paid for it. its also got 15x10 inch nice looking aluminum wheels. unfortunately, since it sat, the tires that he had just put on are no good anymore, i think.

anyways, 1k for what could possibly be a decent beach jeep with kc lights on the windshield, front and rear bumpers, instatrunk, rims, super clean interior, and 4.0 with automatic should be ok even if we have to drain the tank and replace the fuel pump along with the crank sensor.

i will put some pics up later.

$1000 for a TJ? That sounds like a steal! I'm looking for a Jeep for my 15 year old son now, and they aren't cheap.

I'm jealous

A little spray foam and a coat of black bed liner spray and then it's, "yeah, the frame looks great!"

Seriously, it sounds like you got a deal even if you just part it out.

Pics would be welcome.

even if we have to drain the tank

I'm sure you know this but be sure to pay attention to the gas when you drain it. There is a good chance that tank will need to be cleaned out.

Some rust stains, but overall a good looking Jeep. How does the frame look?

Rough. No holes but everything is rusty
