If the frame channels are rust free, it should be good to go
Easy enough to rebuild when the time comes.
did you check compression? How do they cylinders compare?

I was scared to open this thread! Thought you were going to have selfies of your asshole!
It’s a 99 4.0 drives like new. Not my first Jeep. I may put in a new motor........at 350k.
picked up a 2011 JK Rubicon 2 dr 6-speed in February. Changed all the lights to LED, removed the rear seat, added insulation to the hardtop, swapped out the front bumper and added a winch, added a safe in the rear. Tires are next on the list
That inline-6 is a good motor, lots of torque.

(you know what this is, right?)
I have a 97 TJ that I wont ever get rid of. Even if the engine explodes (it wont) I'll just put a turbo diesel in it. That Jeep will be with me forever and it gets me anywhere.
Now you just need dual ARB lockers with an internal compressor, a light bar, IR lights, a winch, cabin switches with a blackout switch and some new fenders and bumpers. What size tires are those? I found the 33" are the happy medium with height, not needing a long arm and not needing some insane gearing.
I'm not sure why, but the lift on it seems like its lower in the rear? May just be the pictures, or someone put a fucking Rancho kit on it or something.
BTW you are under no circumstances allowed to have it painted 686 Tan.

I love driving my old 1974 cj5with a cooler full of beer around the deer lease.
Dragging feed pushing over and ripping out cedar stumps and running for supplies.
You need some mud and mesquite tree scratches to look legit.
Maybe wrap some chain or pull straps on the bumpers and I did not see a high lift jack.
Mount that to the bumper not the hood like a tard.
Can't put windshield down to shoot?
What kinda maroon came up with that.

1" body lift. 1" Currie motor mount lift (will help with driveline angles when lifted and negates need to remount radiator shroud for body lift). EZ lockers front and rear. Cut fenders. Install 35" tires. Cut fenders more. Remove front sway bar and throw in trash. Install free lift springs from whoever upgraded their lift. Stay under 4". You have a go anywhere TJ for the cheap. Saved enough to buy a winch and a 4:1. You're welcome. 
petersons 4wheel and off-road labeled it best 6banger of all time. Swap in a disk braked ford 8.8 Rear axle with a locker. call it a day.

He should do a tummy tuck/flat belly... Most of them include the body mount, engine mounts as well as the flat belly plate... Shit hangs down way to low on a TJ.
That is crazy.
My oldman had one that exact color bought brand new in 74, V8.
Brings back memories.

Jeeps! Owned a couple in my lifetime. Nice ride! Mac

i have a 99 as well. picked it up this spring, it is a southern jeep...so it’s in great condition. i like how simple it is...i have done everything that needs doing mechanically with my 17 year old son-he and i usually do 1 project on it a weekend. i have no plans to mod it, mine is going to stay as it was from the factory other than bilstein shocks that are going on here in a week or two. the only thing i’d change about mine would be the color; it’s tan....i’d prefer metallic forest green.
the one at the top looks nice and clean.

I had a 99 TJ it was a lot of fun. Mine was a POS because it had been mistreated by previous owner, I would still own it if wasn't a broke dick at the time and need a reliable ride to get back and forth to work. Nice find.
Nice! Love mine; wife calls her “ Ruby”
. And... yes... they are money-pits... And... I mean that ina “good way” 
The jeep or the.....nevermind.Nice! Love mine; wife calls her “ Ruby”
