Since I got my Comanche in April of this year, I have loved having a standard trans again. But I also wanted something with a manual that I could haul the kids in. So I sold my Tacoma and decided to get a TJ! 

 

I wanted something close to bone stock, which is tough to find on a TJ as most of them seem to be lifted, etc. I searched all over FB marketplace, found one in Colorado that I liked, and I bought it sight unseen. My sister lives in Denver so I got the seller to park it at her house until I could get up there and drive it home. The seller was actually the original owner and had bought the Jeep new in Florida.

 

My wife and I flew up to Denver and drove it back to Louisiana in July. We took the long way through the Rockies, down through New Mexico, Texas, and Oklahoma. It had 149,300 miles on it when we left Denver and had 150,900 when we got home. It was a fun trip and the TJ is really fun to drive!
