things to watch for on an 03?

[Green97TJ]

Hey Im looking at maybe buying at 03 Wrangler Sport, 5spd. Anything in particular I should watch for on this year? I have a pretty good idea on TJ's in general, but was wondering about this particular year.

Thanks
Nathan

Nothing I can think of, except maybe looking for one with a Dana 44 rear axle. That version of the D44 is a little stronger than the D35. Good chance the Sport model has it, definately if it has the 30" tire and wheel package.

By '03, the Wranglers have most if not all of the kinks ironed out - at least anything worth worrying about.

I've got an '03 4banger and have had no issues, other than normal wear and tear and maintenance stuff...........nothing at all peculiar to the year. Just some issues with replacement tops and things like that.....mirrors.....minor changes they made that just messes with your wallet. I love mine and it's been very reliable.
