I'm interested in owner feedback on living with a lifted TJ as a fun/weekend car.
There seem to be plenty of 4.0s around. A few jap imports too, which help with the rust issues they suffer from.

Are there any buyers guides that are recommended? Or areas to focus on when looking?

Looking for a soft top as well as I know my daughter will absolutely love riding with the top down.

Thanks

Thanks. Good to know about the hard top but I would struggle to store it. And our summers aren't exactly predictable so I know I'd get caught out.
How water tight are the soft tops in really heavy rain?

And I'll be coming from an XKR so fuel consumption isn't an issue. I do hardly any miles so a thirsty motor doesn't bother me.

12k for a very clean example and you don't have to live with the disastrous TJ front end.

It's lovely. Very 'A-Team'. I like the round lights of the TJ. What's so disastrous?

2 very contrary opinions. Exactly what I was after. Thank you!

(I half expected loads of "load of rubbish, not a 4x4" type responses)


The interior of the TJ lets it down but I did see one in a car park with a huge iPad style conversion which looked really smart.
