[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's a good year span for a used jeep?

TJ’s are great examples of the “last” of the CJ lineage. 99-06 years in particular, with the 4.0L and Dana44 rear axle. Look carefully at prospective buys though - TJ’s were notorious for having extensive rust damage inside the frame rails.

Any YJ’s or [b]CJ’s that are survivor vehicles have no doubt received care to preserve them to this point, and are almost certainly in good shape.[/b] But you pay accordingly for such classics.

For newer models, the best years for the JK are ‘13-‘18. The JK is the first version with 4 doors, so if that’s important to you, it narrows down your model search.

The current JL is very similar to the JK, but has a body that is largely aluminum instead of steel, for lighter weight. It also has different (but somewhat marginally stronger) axles. It also comes in a pick up truck version. Avoid 18’s because they had an aluminum steering box that was very problematic. [/quote]

We used to take a CJ to a sandpit in high school. That car spent as much time on it's roof as it's tires[/quote]
