Vehicle Description
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!!!
