2004 TJ Wrangler X 5 Speed Manual

Just check the rear frame where the lower control arms are for rust.


Even a high mileage TJ here is 6-9 grand

Yes, just dump it and run a high quality gear oil and see what happens.

Ditto on checking the frame. What do you think you can get it for. I bet he’d be a seller at $1500. Depends how bad you want it and how automotivally inept the seller is. Because he could likely grab 3k+ on craigs or Facebook market
