"The turn of the millennium was a time of technological leaps and a
burgeoning internet, yet amidst this backdrop, the 1999 Jeep
Wrangler stood as a testament to enduring design and rugged
functionality. Born from the lineage of the World War II Willys MB,
the '99 Wrangler carried the torch of Jeep's storied past into a
new era. This iteration of Jeep's iconic off roader was
manufactured by what was then known as Chrysler Corporation, under
its Jeep marque. A unique fact that entices enthusiasts is that
this model year preceded Jeep's integration into DaimlerChrysler,
making it one of the last Wranglers produced under purely American
ownership." Metroparts.com
For consignment, a 1999 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 4x4 with a title
verified 147,284 actual miles. While the original Sahara editions
carried a specific exterior aesthetic package, our example has been
altered to present more in line with its rugged utility and packs a
bit of lightning under the hood.
Exterior
If you're going to be bushwhacking, you might as well put on a
rough coat, and that's what we have here in the dark green Rhino
coverage to include the famous front grille for a more
monochromatic presentation. It's accented by necessity in black
which takes in the fender flares, side mirrors, black canvas top,
bumpers, and Army spare cover out back. But the wheel and tire set
up may take the spotlight, 15-inch Method Race wheels wrapped in LT
rated tires with an early 2020 date code. Up front, a winch is
onboard for getting you, or others out of trouble on the trail
along with fog light and both are covered while LED tail lights
flank the spare in back. We could find no exterior
imperfections.
Interior
The rough edged exterior gives way to rather pedestrian door panels
in the form of tan molded plastic and black hardware with the
driver's side showing a touch of use. PRP race bucket seats occupy
the front with camouflage accents on black cloth surface and vinyl
side bolsters and matching seat belt pads pick up the green. Our
view to the front includes a standard steering wheel, digital boost
and A/F gauges on the dash, flanking a standard instrument cluster
framed in black. The center stack includes a Sony AM/FM/CD over the
A/C panel, while to the right, textured tan plastic fronts the
passenger and affords an "O.S." handle, and if you don't know O.S.,
you haven't been offroad! A wood handled shifter rises from the
center console and WeatherTech mats contour to the floor that's
painted as the outside. That Rhino coat also covers the cargo area
where a large speaker is tied to the floor.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is a 4.0 liter inline six augmented with a Ford SVT
supercharger, all mated to a 5-speed manual transmission routing
power to the Dana 35 axle in back and a Dana 30 up front.
Undercarriage
A Solid rear differential cover and skid plate fortify the
underside where a single exhaust runs through a Banks Monster
muffler, terminating at a chrome tip out back. Suspension includes
a 4 link with coil springs at all four corners along with Fox
shocks and a 4" Long Arm lift kit. Power disc brakes are found
front and rear.
Drive-Ability
This rugged ride takes a commanding presence on the test loop and
does everything well and we're convinced that it can go well beyond
the flat tarmac without a problem. The supercharger adds a nice bit
of boost and sounds pretty good too! All functions in this well
sorted 4x4 operate as fully intended and our mission comes to an
end as we bring it back to the mall for a place in the showroom.
While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were
working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these
functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
Here's a Sahara taken to the next level, not only in performance,
but in appearance. It'll look right at home on an alpine trail,
will handle the desert terrain with ease, and will pose for photos
against the red rocks of the southwest. So much good looking and
fun riding potential here. Get your ducks in a row, and register
your interest today!
