I've had a number of Wranglers through the years. Fun vehicles as long as you understand what they were created for. With the back seat out it is usable for a weekend trip. The soft top will drive you crazy at highway speeds if you don't have the full steel door. However, they are quite robust and if it runs, it will probably keep on running without a lot of $$ and drama.

I personally don't care for the early 90's rectangular headlight Wranglers and for $5K it probably is one. They run just fine, just don't care for the looks.

They make a great tow vehicle for small trailers and boats as you can see everything behind you and the small turning radius makes it easy to back up with a trailer.

Parts are easy and fairly cheap. But try to find one that is stock. You never know how good a job someone may have done on that lift kit.
