I've had a few wranglers in the past and drive one currently.

1. 92 YJ - 4 banger with a manual. Drove it roughly 225k miles. I never had an issue. I'm positive it was the world's slowest vehicle though. It topped out around 55.

2. 10 JK 2 Door - 3.8L with an auto. This thing was a tank. I purchased it with 82K miles and drove it until it hit 167K. Other than regular maintenance, I didn't have to do a thing to it. I loved it, but the wife hated it, so there's that.

3. 20L 4 Door - 2.0L with an auto. I'm currently driving this one, and it's AMAZING. Very comfortable and goes everywhere that I need it to.

When you look at one, look underneath it for scrap marks. A lot of guys build them up to look like off-road monsters, but the only time their tires will hit dirt is when they accidentally drive off the driveway. Some guys ride them hard and put them up wet; take your time looking and listening to it, and you'll be fine.

Yes, just want one. My tundra has been paid off for years. Wife’s car is close. I have young kids so no car seats. They will have to understand for now

Here is where I’m at…

05 TJ Rubicon 6 cylinder with 130k - lots of add ons listed.

2010 JK 6 cylinder with 63k - not as many add ons.

Both are similar in price - around 16k

Both seem to causal drivers and garbage kept.

I see responses of get a JK and some that say get a TJ. I guess it’s preference, but I’ve never been an owner so I have no idea
