Depending on the year your looking at 150k is not that bad if the price is right.

mine has 250k and runs great with a half qt of oil loss between changes.
i paid $240 lol

what is your price range though?

check the usual stuff, maintenance, cooling system, shocks, tie rods, RUST RUST RUST. uhm RUST.
It all depends on what your gonna do with it though, If your gonna lift it right away get a jeep for cheap thats totally worn out on the suspension and replace everything!

might want to find one that already has a 8.25 rear end

most people will say that the 96-98 years are the best with the best engines. Either way you will easily see over 200k on these engines with simple care and maintenance. Finding one with low miles is a little more difficult but it's doable. You might have to wait a while though.
