- Off-Road Capability: The Sahara TJ’s Command-Trac part-time 4WD system, Dana 30 front and Dana 44 rear axles with Trac-Lok limited-slip, and 3.73 gears make it a capable platform both on and off pavement. Skid plates for the fuel tank and transfer case, plus factory tow hooks, give it serious trail chops right out of the box.
- Exterior Features & Modifications: From the factory, the Sahara came with 30-inch Goodyear all-terrain tires, Canyon aluminum wheels, full metal doors, and both soft and hard tops. This example adds LED headlights and taillights, new front and rear bumpers, and retains its stock ride height—ideal for those who prefer an unlifted, factory-balanced stance.
- Powertrain: The heart of this Jeep is the 4.0L PowerTech inline-six, known for its torque and durability, mated to a 5-speed manual and Command-Trac transfer case. Supporting upgrades include an aluminum radiator, high-volume oil pump, and new hoses, ensuring it’s mechanically solid and ready for long-term use.
- Interior Features & Upgrades: Inside, you’ll find the Sahara’s premium cloth high-back buckets with a small tear in the driver’s seat, along with Bestop replacement seating and WeatherTech liners for added protection. A BedRug floor liner and original convenience features like air conditioning, tilt steering, and the factory 7-speaker sound system round out a practical yet comfortable cabin.
