For Sale: 1998 Jeep Wrangler in Mesa, Arizona

The odometer reading listed for this 1998 Jeep Wrangler Sport is no typo, and it's believed to reflect the full mileage. That's because this is the kind of one-owner 4x4 you've been looking for. It's loaded with features, has been given the right upgrades, and spent far more time tucked away in a garage than ever out on the streets. So while this has the features for a robust off-roader, we can't even see signs it has hit a dusty trail.


Jeeps are great for custom touches, and this one gets it right. There's an upgraded attitude with a push bar front bumper made of tubular steel. And we always love the look of KC lights leading the way. The sales Innovative Creations step rails look good along the sides. And the rear has a Smittybilt bumper with a tow hitch and swing-away spare tire mount. The stock fender flares and removable full hardtop coordinate with these black upgrades. And all this darkness looks good against the paint. This Jeep was born with a cool name/color called Gunmetal Pearl, and so it's great to see what's believed to be the original application still looking so smooth and glossy today. Plus, while you have true Jeep wheels, they are larger 17-inch alloys from a younger series Wrangler. It all makes for a package that looks preserved, respected, upgraded, and distinct.


This is the TJ era of the Jeep Wrangler, and for many of us, it does a great job of straddling the line between the robustness we love and the modern features we demand. The best place to understand that is the interior. The factory seats are done in an attractive pattern like a desert mosaic, and they strike the right balance of durability but with a comfortable cloth you can appreciate on sunny days. There are all the best comforts with cold-blowing air conditioning, a cup holder center console, full carpeting, and the factory AM/FM/cassette stereo. It also has the right safety with shoulder belts for everyone, dual airbags, and a proper roll bar. Plus, the high-back front bucket seats, tilt steering column, cruise control, full gauges, and a proper dash layout means this 4x4 also has more of a commuter-level everyday driver feeling than the CJs.


The 4.0-liter inline-six was a Jeep mainstay for many years. It's quite energetic in the relatively lightweight Wrangler, and its reputation for durability can't be beaten. While the motor has had a long life at Jeep, this is the modern evolution that includes fuel injection. So it starts easily and idles well, and runs strong as a well-respected one-owner classic should. This is quite a stock and setup that does inhale deeper with a K&N cold air intake. You've got a proper two-speed 4x4 transfer case and meaty BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires to get plenty of off-road work done. But despite this go-anywhere nature, you can really see from the ultra-clean undercarriage that this one has led a life on the blacktop. That's why you have easy everyday driving features like a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power brakes w/front discs.


The sale comes complete with the full owner's manual packet and two sets of keys. This is the exceptionally preserved modern classic Jeep with all the right upgrades. So if you're looking for rugged style in a fresh package, you need this Wrangler. Call today!!!
