    NEW Jeep Owner here

    Well after months and months of research and reading, I decide to take the plunge and pick up another vehicle. I needed another one to haul both dogs on trips, have AC, do some occassional wheeling, and just another DD.

    2003 Jeep Overland (the Denali's of the Jeeps )
    120k
    4.7L High Output V8

    (Pretty sure the Jeep has only seen about 70k-80k actually started and driving. It had one of those towing bars on the front like it was towed behind a RV.)

    All PWR
    Leather seats
    AWD + 4X4

    I picked it up for $7,100 after TTL etc. There are a few things wrong with it though. AC only blows on "Lo" setting, pretty sure it might be the blower motor bc I feel like it just seeps out. Also there is a "rubbing noise" when making a left turn only, might be a CV joint. There are a few things I need to fix, but once I do that it will be pretty sweet ride. Oh and one window regulator isnt working and wont let the window go down.

    The plans for it are - 3.5"-4" IRO lift, front end replacement, and most likely some 31s or 32s.

    Here are some pictures

    Make sure you change all the fluids (diff/tranny/transfer) soon if it was towed, just incase anything got heated up from the trans pump not running.

    You should clear 33's all day long with that lift. 31's would look goofy.

    Try the blower resistor before the motor...most common the problem when only certain speeds work.
    blown transmissions are about as useful as 97% of the guys on this forum

    lol I was thinking of laying some indoor/outdoor carpet in the back, they wont sit on the leather, but the seats fold down

    Yeah I will change all the fluids. That's what someone else said to, was the blower resistor. I still have to do some research on what wheel/tire combo I want to go with.

    i was messing around earlier in it, and when I tried to put it in 4LO it popped out of gear like once. It feels like it doesnt want to stay in, unless I slam it in. IDK I just need to do a full tuneup on it.

    Sounds like a lot of the same issues mahlady has with hers. Even if the air is working properly it doesn't blow worth a crap. They are nice lookin rigs though.
