2001 Jeep Wrangler Sport

Description

Its predecessor, the CJ series, was ably adapted to the shifting demands of the marketplace over the years while still retaining plenty of its military lineage, but while Jeep's Wrangler was still in its formative stages, priority was put on upping its comfort level without sacrificing any of the ruggedness the nameplate was prized for. It's more civilized in a number of respects and provides a refined driving experience, yet point it toward unforgiving territory and it will eagerly demonstrate its mountain goat surefootedness. This 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sport is a fine representative of that line - it's almost entirely original from front to back and stands ready to bring you plenty of miles of future driving fun.

The Maroon metallic color draped over the exterior is the same shade this '01 left the factory with and whether it's through attentive care and shelter or perhaps a freshening somewhere along the line, it's looking very strong and boasts a nice shine. Both the front bumper - which carries a pair of foglights to illuminate the road ahead - as well as the one in back sitting under the mounted spare tire, are in great condition and the body lines on all four sides corroborate the findings of the AutoCheck report that accompanies this Wranger, indicating that it's steered clear of any immovable objects in its path. Its 3'' body lift gives a ruggedness to its appearance, as well as additional ground clearance for offroad pursuits. With is clean looking paint and well finished overall appearance, it's quite a sight in its open air configuration, but for those occasions calling for more shelter, a nicely fitting Smittybilt soft top is included and it features very clean side and rear windows for good visibility.

The interior has been well-looked after and offers a nice driving environment. The Wrangler was intentionally configured to be more comfortable than its predecessors and the accommodations inside reflect it. The front buckets are still holding their original shape and feature tan cloth covers showing less wear than you'd likely expect. The dash area has also come through the years in good fashion: its black and tan surfaces show no major wear and the gauges inside the instrument cluster are clear and functional. Comfort and convenience features include cruise control, a tilting column, air conditioning and an upgraded JVC AM/FM/CD stereo with iPod compatibility for plentiful audio options. Driver and passenger airbags add a welcome measure of safety.

A 4.0 liter inline 6 waits under the hood and it continues to represent itself well, firing up promptly and running smoothly. It sits in a nicely detailed engine compartment and teams with a 3-speed automatic transmission that's in very road ready condition - this Jeep is up for action as soon as you get it home. In keeping with the Wrangler's "comfort-forward" emphasis, the lever to activate four-wheel drive sits within very easy reach and combines with that added wheel clearance to provide plenty of capability while off the asphalt. A new radiator was recently added to up dependability. Power steering makes this Jeep easy to handle, while power brakes that feature discs up front bring prompt stops from its set of 15" polished wheels carrying 33" Dakota A/T with plenty of good tread left. Despite the temptation this Jeep presents for inspired offroad driving, its undercarriage is still looking solid.

Looking nice and sharp and offering the promise of plenty of fun-filled miles ahead, this 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sport is a must see. Call today!
