Yes, 4.0. Auto trans... because others may need to drive it. . 4" lift. Setting on 35's Dana 44 with LSD in rear Dana 44 with air locker in front. (swapped in from a rubicon of the same year model)
No rust, other than some surface rust on the body or frame (ecxcept on the aftermarket fenders)
Wheelbase is 10 inches longer and the body is 15 inches longer than a regular wrangler.
Happy Birthday! Nice jeep too. I have an LJ, but waiting to gather money for trans fix. If you're tall, you'll love the headroom.
I found a large dog kennel mat fits perfectly in the back without the rear seat. My departed greyhound loved going on rides.

Seats are original and in good shape, he put covers on them to protect them, except for the center console pad… I was thinking maybe they had a dog that damaged it. Original Well carpet.
Owned two regular 2 door wranglers over the years, and do sort of miss them. The prices on new ones is pretty out of hand so I doubt I will ever own one again. I don’t care for the 4 door versions at all, and do think the slightly longer unlimited were a nice sweet spot for a bit more cargo.

Happy Birthday and congratulations. I had a 2005 LJU, they are terrific. Ours was lost in a bad accident in 2012, I still miss it. They seem to be sought after today, few made, in line 6, extra room.

Ok, now you are just bragging. I ain't talking about the Jeep, I am talking about you being able to get in and out of it at 70 y/o. Good for you and Happy 70th.
