1998 Jeep Wrangler

The Jeep Wrangler TJ (1997-2006) was the second-generation Wrangler, built on a body-on-frame platform that replaced the previous YJ model's front and rear leaf springs with a link-and-coil suspension marketed as Quadra-Coil, using coil springs at all four corners with a solid front and rear axle. It returned to round headlamps after the square units of the 1987-1995 YJ. Powertrains ranged from a 2.5 liter inline-four (later a 2.4 liter four) to the 4.0 liter inline-six, all driving a part-time four-wheel-drive system. The Rubicon trim with front and rear locking differentials arrived for 2003, and the longer-wheelbase Unlimited (LJ) was offered for 2004-2006.
