They rust easy, and are unibody. Rust in a unibody is bad.. Be sure to check the floorboards for holes, im gonna have to replace my floors. Alot of them have high idle problems, and other small stuff. Usually around 150,000 miles they need some sensors replaced.. Alot of people also advise against getting a jeep thats already lifted also. Take it for a test drive, go through all the gears, Check the fluids (oil, Auto trans fluid, brake fluid, etc) and listed for weird engine noises..
