The 1997 Jeep Wrangler saw the model move into its second generation, also known by the TJ model code. This chassis focused on refining the first-generation, adding comfort while maintaining the Wrangler position in the Jeep lineup. The TJ ditched leaf springs for the more sophisticated coils, while the design brought back the iconic circular headlights that remain a hallmark of the range until today. The 1997 MY Jeep Wrangler TJ listed here features a number of tasteful modifications and is offered with a reported 155,000 miles on the clock.
The TJ-generation Jeep Wrangler’s most significant styling feature was the return to the much-loved circular headlight style, which its predecessor ditched in favor of rectangular units. Our listed example is finished in bright red, with a number of chrome accents, including the surrounds of the iconic seven-slat grille, mirrors, door hinges, and headlight surrounds, which are complete with matching stone guards. There’s a purposeful bull bar up front, while this 1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ includes an array of auxiliary lamps by KC Lights. This TJ sits on aftermarket Mickey Thompson wheels with bead locks and are wrapped in 31-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO tires. At the rear, you’ll find a chrome bumper and a spare tire mounted on the exterior. It includes an Alabama Crimson Tide spare wheel cover. The Alabama college theme continues inside. The brown and red custom reupholstered interior features the University Of Alabama “A” stitched on the headrests. The original two-spoke Jeep steering wheel is mounted ahead of the original gauge cluster. Aside from speed and engine RPM, there are also gauges for oil temperature, water temperature, battery voltage, and fuel level. An aftermarket Sony X-Plod stereo powering roof-mounted speakers is also present.
Under the hood is a 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder powerplant. When new, this engine was quoted as outputting 120 hp and 140 lb-ft of torque. In the 1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ, it is mated to a manual transmission that sends power to all four wheels.
A fun-loving off-roader for those who truly enjoy exploring the great outdoors, Jeep’s Wrangler can directly trace its lineage to the Jeep CJ line-up from 1948 onwards. In fact, it’s not hard to see the family resemblance between the Jeep CJ and the latest JL-Series Wrangler. Case in point, we have a nicely modified 2018 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sport for sale from Slidell, Louisiana for sale today. With a mere 55,850 miles, this four-wheel drive off-road beast could be yours if you desire a machine that can keep up with your thirst to explore the unexplored, the desire to traverse the wilderness, the will to create new paths.
Whatever happened to Jeep’s famous CJ or Civilian Jeep series from 1948 until 1986? Well, you see, it became the Wrangler! Yes, that’s why the two have some serious commonalities in terms of not only styling, but sheer off-road ability. The Wrangler nameplate took over in 1986, with some comprehensive re-engineering, but the basic principles have remained true to this day. That’s why today’s 1997 Jeep Wrangler Sport is a formidable off-road buddy to have. It’s got 118,000 miles and hails from Wichita, Kansas. Plus, it’s part of the TJ or second generation, which came for the 1997 model year.
The Wrangler is descended directly from the WWII Willys Jeep. It's no surprise that it shares several features with the original Jeep, such as removable doors. Fans often describe the 1997–2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ generation as a "sweet spot." This generation offers the renowned look of the original Jeep while blending modern mechanical upgrades and improved comfort. Fans welcomed the TJ's return of the classic round headlights from the previous CJ models. The 2002 Jeep Wrangler came with four main trim levels, namely, SE, X, Sport, and Sahara. What we have here is a 2002 Jeep Wrangler Sahara, which is the top-tier trim, adding more premium features and distinct styling. Bearing 114302 miles on its odometer, this Wrangler awaits in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina for its new owner.
More than the vehicle itself, there is a sentimental value that is rooted within the Jeep. With a well-known history as a World War II military vehicle, it evolved from a "General Purpose" (GP) requirement into an iconic civilian brand. The Jeep CJ-7 lineup is one of the most popular offerings in its history. After the short-wheelbase CJ-5, the CJ-7 was the bridge that led to the Jeep Wrangler. It has a longer wheelbase and more creature comforts, transforming it into a vehicle that can be used daily. What we are offering here is a 1982 Jeep CJ-7 that found its way to our inventory from Jacksonville, Florida. With just 14248 miles on its odometer, this nippy off-roader is ready to bring adventure to your life.
The Jeep CJ or Civilian Jeep was born out of a corporate need to survive. Willys-Overland used to supply the US Military with Jeeps for World War II. In 1944, they realized that with the War due to end, their lucrative orders would also dry up. So, they turned their attention to an America that was soon due to experience an agricultural and industrial boom, and decided to adapt the military Jeep into the CJ. This proved tougher said than done, because military Jeeps had lifespans of months or even weeks. They were throw-away items. A civilian Jeep, on the other hand, would also experience harsh use but be expected to last for years and even decades. Nevertheless, they did it, and the Jeep CJ was made from 1945 until 1986 across several iterations. Then, the successor gained a name that we know to this day; Wrangler. So, why not celebrate that glorious legacy and buy this 1978 Jeep CJ-5 that’s up for sale in Florida? With a 258ci straight six, a custom paint job, Bilstein performance shocks and more goodies, this is an off-road buddy that will never let you down.

The Land Rover Defender is an off-road champion with a fine legacy that dates back to 1948 and the Land Rover Series. It’s rare that you find a model that’s endured for decades without much change in terms of exterior appearance, albeit with hundreds of refinements under the skin, and within the interior. That’s what the Defender – the classic one, that is – is all about. This 1996 Land Rover Defender 90 is a fine example of that statement, and you can get it from Sturbridge, Massachusetts if you wish. With just over 10,000 miles on the clock, this off-road beast packs the formidable 300Tdi powertrain, a manual transmission and a custom interior with air con and Bluetooth!
The Chevrolet Silverado’s corporate cousin is the GMC Sierra. It’s a smart move by General Motors to broaden their line-up across their various brands by sharing synergies. In fact, the Silverado and Sierra have been like this since 1999, when the Silverado became a separate nameplate. Hence, the first generation Silverado/Sierra was made between 1999 and 2007. In fact, variants like this 2002 GMC Sierra 2500 SLT were only made up to 2004, as the heavy-duty line. This particular truck has done a light 64,000 miles and is up for sale in Orange, California. It’s got a 6.6-liter Duramax diesel under the hood, a 62-gallon fuel tank, and is four-wheel drive. That makes it ideal for someone who wants a sturdy truck that can venture off-road when needed.
This 2022 RAM 1500 TRX Ignition Edition sits in a sweet spot where rarity, mileage and modifications all work in its favor, which is not always the case with heavily built trucks. As one of 875 examples with under 25,000 miles, it retains strong collector appeal while the E85‑focused SRT Autoworks package—pulley combo, ID1300X injectors, cam, headers, exhaust and a reworked supercharger—was clearly designed for serious street and roll‑race performance rather than just show. The Ignition Edition’s factory content such as its unique orange and black interior, special graphics and full TRX off‑road hardware means that even if a future owner chose to soften the build, they would still have a limited‑run halo TRX that stands apart from a typical modified 1500.
