Picked up this gem today (well my brother did, I strolled along with him to get it, ie I drove him).
Its a limited. 5.2L V8. 150k, Needs new tires, some dents and dings. One broken window on the rear quarter drivers side. Needs a oil pan gasket. Power steering leaks, so we are probably just going to toss in a refurbished model since they can be had for like $60. Carpet is dirty, but being a '95. Not to bad. Seats are leather, and in top condition. Both front seats are power. Needs a radio. Has a 400w marine amp in it right now with an aux cable to play off a phone, etc. Also need to find a leaky injector and chase a bad ground in one of the doors that causes the battery to drain.
Brother drove it home, and it drove nice. Starts right up. No strange sounds. Rides super nice. AC blows cold.
Plans are just to get it fixed up. Grandparents kept telling us to take it to the local mechanic they go to, but I said no. I don't trust the guy anymore, as he's given us the run-around before. We plan on doing the oil pan gasket tomorrow. Power steering pump in another couple weeks. Need new tires ASAP though, as 3 of them are 245/70/15s and one is 225/70/15. He's planning on going with some 235/75/15s in some ATs. Lift down the road. Probably just a small 2-3 inch lift. Nothing crazy. Needs to be a good, solid DD for him that he can have fun with off-road on some basic trails, etc.
He already took the factory side steps off. And he's loving it. Wiped out damn near his whole paycheck buying it. Knew the guy through JeepForum. The guy needed it gone by the end of the week, or it was going to go the junkyard. It'll be a good DD/fun rig for camping and stuff.
Best part? He only paid $400 for it.

I also put on a new bowless soft-top on my TJ since the oem one I had took a **** on me.
Just need to get a set of full soft uppers. Drivers side slider upper I have is in rough shape. Traded my full doors for the half-doors. Half-doors need some new gaskets. Definitely like the looks of the half-doors though.
