2004 Jeep Wrangler Sport Sport Utility 2-Door Description

2004 Jeep Wrangler Sport 4.0 liter 6 cylinder, Automatic with 59,735 miles

ONLY 22,363 miles on a BRAND NEW Chrysler Jeep 4.0 L engine!!!!

Two owner Wrangler Sport that we purchased 8 years ago from an older adult family friend. We had vandalism in Colorado Springs and the engine was replaced by Faricy Brothers Chrysler in Colorado Springs, CO at 37,372 miles with a new Chrysler engine. The receipt from Faricy for $5,762.25 dated May 6, 2008 with the VIN number of this Jeep is pictured.

Features: Automatic transmission with overdrive, hard top with wiper and heated rear glass, Air Conditioning, power steering, power brakes, cruise control, tilt steering, speaker bar with lights, factory fog lights, factory console, aftermarket tow bar (CL III receiver), 8,000 pound winch, Warn Winch Plate, Wilderness Cargo Rack, Smittybuilt front push bar (bumper), Husky floor liners, in dash AM/FM single disc CD player. I also have the receipt for the XRC winch, Warn winch plate, and the front push bar ($692.24). I added the Wilderness Rack which is $1,025.95. I can't find that receipt but you can google wildernessracksto see the price.

This Jeep comes with an additional set of 5 matching factory Jeep alloy rims with four tires. Tires are Goodyear Wranglers mounted on the stock alloy Jeep rims that originally came with this Jeep. The 31 inch tires and rims shown in the photos are used as our winter tires.

The engine is 100% factory. The only upgrade I made was to add a block heater so the interior heat is warm instantly when used in the winter. This Jeep was garage kept 90 to 95% of its life and still is now.

Please compare this well maintained, adult driven, non-smoker Jeep to others on the market. Here is a summary of main costs and accessories added since I purchased it:

Mechanical Condition:EXCELLENT. 4WD High and Low ranges work exceptionally well - no issues. The transmission shifts solidly, no slipping, all works as it should. There is an "overdrive off" switch on the dash - it works. You can prevent the overdrive gear from engaging if you want extra power for passing. The winch was used 3 to 4 times to pull other people out of snow. The Jeep drives straight down the road. Winch remote control works and the winch wire rope is in excellent, like new condition - no fraying. Head lights, fog lights, turn signals, interior lights, cruise control, Air Conditioning, heat, stereo, tilt steering, all works as it should. The 31 inch all season tires have about 80% tread life left.

Body Condition: The undercarriage is in excellent condition! See the two photos of the underbody. There is no undercoating to hide issues. The gravel panel underneath is free of dings - this Jeep has not been used off-road. Body rubber mounts are pliable. The paint has numerous flaws (see below). Factory bottle jack and lug wrench are present under the passenger's seat. The gas shocks on the hard top back glass are newer - top says up even in cold weather.

Interior Condition: No tears, rips or even rubs on the seat fabric. Driver's door panel has a crack. Passenger panel has no cracks. Carpet has stains. Both front Husky mats are included but in one photo it is removed to see the carpet condition underneath.

Summer Tires and Rims: Set of 5 matching Jeep rims. They have 5 large spokes with the typical Jeep silver center cap. The rims are dark grey with the alloy edge of the rim nearest the tire silver polished (unpainted). The rims themselves are in excellent condition as they have been either stored indoors or have been on the Jeep which is garaged. The tires are Goodyear Wrangler GSA with outlined white letters size 225/75R15. They are standard load, 4 ply tread, Treadwear 340, Traction A, Temperature B and have about 50% life remaining. One of the tires was flat and not repairable due to a puncture close to the sidewall so I disposed of the spare.The five rims and four tires do fit inside the Jeep so you can have it picked up by an auto transporter without having to ship the extra set of tires and rims.

Specifications: This Jeep was built in January 2004. EPA Estimated MPG is 17 mpg combined (16 city and 19 highway). Maximum payload is 800 pounds and maximum towing capability is 2,000 pounds. The Sport was the middle package - above the SE and below the Sahara. The 4.0 L 6 cylinder is rated at 190 horsepower at 4,600 rpm and 245 foot pounds of torque at 3,200 rpm. Overall consumer satisfaction rating is 4.5 out of 5 according to Edmunds.

Flaws:

1. Paint: The previous owner towed this Jeep behind a motorhome and the front grille, windshield surround and the front edge of the hood has numerous chips and paint flaws (see photos). The flat (horizontal) part of the hood also has a few chips or imperfections and two dents. The two dents are from ice falling off of my home roof and landing on the Jeep when parked below. One dent is above the driver's side headlight (see photo) and the other is a much smaller, ding sized dent on the passenger side of the hood on the edge where it raises in the middle. The back tail gate door also has scratches above the license plate area where the dealership badge was removed.

2. This Jeep was originally equipped with a soft top. The hard top does have a rear wiper, windshield sprayer and heated glass but it is not hooked up to the dash. The hard top portion of wiring harness is present but the harness from the hard top to the front and including a switch would need to be added. This part is available through Chrysler and possibly through aftermarket sources.Soft top was sold, not available.

3. The fender flair paint is poor. For some reason the flair paint has worn badly. The solution is to either have them repainted or to order aftermarket black flares. The color is Shale Green Metallic (paint code PGR) and you can order paint from automotivetouchup dot com

4. There is a small exterior body rust spot on the passenger side just below the door (see photo).

5. The driver's side door panel has a crack (1 ¼ inches) on the top just to the right of the door handle (see photo).

6. Both door seals have rips in the same place - just behind the center, rear area of the door windows. I believe the hard top needs moved back about 1/8 inch to allow more room between the edge of the door seal area and the edge of the hard top to prevent new seals from tearing. Door seals are $40.50 each from Quadratec dot com.

7. The hard top has four small holes (1/8 inch) that were filled. When I bought the Jeep it had a roof rack bolted to the top. I removed the bolts, filled the holes with JB weld (see photo) and added the Wilderness Rack which is bolted to the front windshield frame and to the rear area. This frame does swing down easily toward the rear in order to remove the hard top or to change it over to a soft top.

8. There are minor carpet stains. This is the original carpet.

9. The factory stereo fader knob cover is missing. This is a tiny plastic knob that is just below the balance knob that is present.

This Jeep is for sale locally so I reserve the right to sell it prior to auction end.Once my reserve is met I won’t sell it locally.
