1998 Jeep TJ – Engine Rebuilt 1K Miles Ago – AX-15 5-Speed – 33s – Clean Utah Jeep

1998 Jeep TJ with the 2.5L inline-4 and Toyota AX-15 5-speed manual. 148k miles on the chassis.

The engine was fully rebuilt approximately 1,000 miles ago. All other mechanical work has been completed within the last 10,000 miles.

This is not a worn-out TJ. The expensive work has already been done.

• Roof rack (not installed)

• Brand new 4.88 ring and pinion sets for front and rear (not installed). Current gears are in good condition. 4.88s would better match the 33” tires if installed.

Bottom Line

Engine has 1,000 miles on it. Major drivetrain and suspension work completed within the last 10,000 miles. This TJ has already had the costly mechanical refresh most buyers end up doing themselves.
