I've got my 98 Wrangler LS6 debugged and running great so now it's time to sell the 6.0 Wrangler.

It's a 1999 Wrangler. Brown with tan hard top. Very nice condition. Interior very nice Tan in color. Stock gauges except for the Autometer tach and B&M shifter.

2004 6.0/4l60E trans. About 16,000 miles on the engine when I put it in about 18 months ago. Camaro front accessories.

8.8 Explorer rear end. Posi and 3:73 gears.
231 T/C with wide chain kit and slip yoke eliminator. CV Drive shaft. Four wheel drive works well.

Novak Alum radiator. Spal fan. New brakes all around. Walbro 255 in tank pump.

Howell wiring harness and computer.

31 x 10.50 tires on AR rims.

It has run flawlessly. Started well last winter at -20. About 16-18 mpg around town and on the highway. It has been great to drive. Very snappy. Great fun in the snow. Does fantastic doughnuts in snow covered parking lots.

Contact me with any questions.

$13,500

I will post more pics this weekend.

It's really off road in regards to emissions. It does have the cat and ox sensors but no fuel tank pressure checking. It can be added to the chev computer.

MN doesn't have yearly inspection for off road vehicles.

Call me to review.

It's getting cold in MN. Snow is a comming.

Time for a ALL season Lateral G net vehicle.

Is it possible to pull a "G" doing donuts in a snow covered parking lot?

All kidding aside it is a nice Wrangler.

So you are sitting at the stop light and there is 4" of new snow on the ground. No worries in this Jeep. It is too much fun with the four wheel engaged.

Snow is comming!

I think Scott and I met you at the hotel in Rochester on the 08 Power Tour. If so, that's a very nice, very well detailed truck. Good luck with your sale.

Hampton Inn Rochester MN.

We drove our 79 Camaro LS1 to Lincoln NE and met up with Jeff Smith from Car Craft mag. We were going to cruise with him to Iowa but the weather report was so bad we chickened out. Drove back to MN in some of the worst wind and rain I've seen. The Camaro was slimed with road grime. Nothing like an 800 mile drive for a 5 hour car show.

We decided to take the Jeep to Rochester. Great run. The weather was great.

The 6.0 Jeep is good. The new LS6 Jeep is very good. Nothing like 425 hp in a short wheel base vehicle with a high C/G to keep you focused. Keeping things in a straight line is important.

Thanks for the great comments.

Jim
