The Appeal

The TJ-generation Jeep Wrangler remains one of the most recognisable and capable off-road platforms ever built. With its characteristic seven-slot grille, round headlights, and go-anywhere mechanicals, it's become the stuff of legend, and a prime target for upgrade and customisation. They're ever-desirable, ever-rugged and ever-impressive when it comes to climbing challenging terrain.

This 1998 example has been upgraded with a suite of quality aftermarket components following a period of storage. A Rugged Ridge XHD Series front bumper with bull bar and tow rings, matching wheel arches, side steps, Teraflex vehicle-specific shocks, and a Terrafirma electric winch give it a purposeful, trail-ready presence. New Falken Wild Peak M/T tyres on fresh wheels complete the look.

Accompanied by a long, advisory-free MOT, this impressive machine is ready and waiting to impress its lucky new keeper.
