[QUOTE="RubiconFreedom, post: 425746, member: 18741"] Consider a private seller over a dealership. Because if the jeep has been run through the ringer or leased, these jeep owners have added and subtracted parts from the vehicle. In other words, are you willing to take on someone else mistakes?. As those who feel they are mechanics tend to do these installations themselves. Under carnage and engine compartment are your first areas to inspect. traces of mud in the engine compartment could mean this jeep has seen some off road, been used and abused. Lift up the carpeting.. check for rust etc. 100,000 k miles would be too much. Have the shocks been upgraded or replaces as these can wear out or should be changed at the 50K mark. The list can go on so if you're new and unsure what to look for, best find someone who can help you look for that perfect jeep for you. Just remember, Not all used jeeps have been abused.. [/QUOTE]
