Found a 2-door Jeep JK Sahara in Canada for $8,000 CAD asking price with 170,000 km. It’s the 3.8L V6 automatic. Soft top only. Has AC, power windows/locks, premium sound, CarPlay deck, and almost new tires. Seller says it’s in good shape overall.

I know the 3.8 gets mixed opinions, so I wanted to ask people who actually own/have owned one:

- How reliable are these around this mileage?
- What should I specifically check before buying?
- Are the transmissions decent on these?
- Is 170k km concerning if maintained well?
- How bad is the fuel economy really?
- Worth putting 33s on it or will the 3.8 feel too weak?

Planning to use it mostly as a fun daily/summer vehicle with some light off-roading. Any advice or common problems to watch for would help a lot.

Driver and passenger front are pretty good, but need cleaning of adhesive and carpet residue. But what are the chunks missing in the back? I discovered this while pulling carpet.

Just wondering how bad this is and what options I have to clean it up. Not putting carpet back in. Perhaps mats if I can find something heavy enough with good coverage. Can’t afford the expensive flooring options

Can anyone help me identify the name or part number for this bracket to a soft top? Recently got a soft top for our 2010 but it's missing this bracket and I cannot seem to find it anywhere. Not my photos, sourced online!
