FRAME RUST!!!!!!!!!!! Huge issues on all years!!!!!!!
OPDA issues on later years, google.
97-99? Dizzy. Later years have one giant coil assembly. Both have pros and cons.
Little interior differences early on, 03 was significant interior changes.
Dana 44 is highly sought after and more common in saharas but was still optional. Mine has one. Really only matters for big tires/wheeling. Dana 35 = 10 bolt
Lj's are stretched. Look a little funny stock but have lots of cargo room and look awesome with 3 inch lift and 33's
Rubicons are laced up pretty nice and a bit beefier so would handle the plow better.
I think most prefer the ax-15 5 speed which is 97-99. My 01 is and NV3550 (00-04) and I have no issues with it. I would just avoid the autos completely. 05-06 get the NSG370 which is a 6 speed.
Any modding plans?
Oh and **** yj's. Get a tj. Absolutely worth the extra cost.
