I need help from the Jeep guys.
I've got a buddy who wants to get into wheeling and we have a lead on a TJ for him.
It's a 98 Sport Wrangler with 85k.
Off the bat, it will need new headers, cats and shocks.
The guy selling it has wheeled it, but has upgraded a lot of the parts. He's a close friend of my brother in law so I feel confident that he's giving us good information about it's condition.
That said, is there anything that my buddy should be looking for or considering? And, on the parts that are needed, is there anything special about them that needs to be considered? Or, could we get some good used headers (I'll need help on finding a good set), some Bilsteins and aftermarket cats to install? On the shocks, how are they to install and are there any items we should watch out for?
If he does this, it'll be relatively soon. Since I'm more experienced with Xterras and only have limited jeep experience, I could use some input or hints.
Thanks.
