  • Looking to buy a four door JK problems or concerns to be aware wouod be nice prior

    Thinking about buying a JK not new and most likely a four door. Is there much issue or concerns that I should be considering or aware of when purchasing or looking at.

    My thought would be 2007 or 2008 maybe newer. Definitely four door and automatic.
    Thanks
    Alan

    I would look for a 12 with the 3.6 unless you want to swap the engine out.

      If your on Facebook - look up the group "KC Metro - Jeep JK Group" and they can give you some pointers if you have any questions that may help you narrow down your search

        A lot depends on how you are going to use it. Personnally, I would try to find one that is still stock or as close as you can find. Check the undercarriage, for trail damage. Check the top for leaks. Both motors, the 3.8 and the 3.6 have had their problems. The 3.6 has more horses and is supposed to get better gas mileage. Other than that, treat it like any other used vehicle and have it checked by a mechanic, preferably by someone that knows jeeps.

          Thanks for the Feedback. I get the the obvious things to look for, but wasn't sure about improvements or problematic areas of concern. It obviously cost more to buy newer so I am trying to stay older unless older will shortly cost me more money in the time.

                  We just took a 4093 mile west coast jaunt in our 15 JKU rubi.....I was amazed at the level of comfort and throughly surprised at how well it handled on twisty mountain roads. It is the 6 speed with I'm sure helped in the curves
