2002 Jeep Wrangler consumer reviews

Been a jeep guy for 35years. 2 Cherokees always wanted a wrangler bought a 02 sahara in good condition 193000. It's a 4.0 5spd enough said. No leaks body in great shape,paid 8200.00. After rebuilding the frame that broke due to knuckle head engineers who put drain holes on the side of the frame instead of on the bottom the frame rusted out. 5000 both sides & front anyway after all that I upgraded almost everything on my beloved jeep , new power strip bosch platinum plugs kn filters bilstein 5100 shocks magnaflow exhaust system revolver style rims good year wrangler tires front grill protector tail light guards plus a power chip so from my point of view I have a classic tj better than new these classic TJ s are fun to drive my jeep goes topless 6 mos a year. My advice is to inspect the frame!!!. I didn't know to look, but it all worked out I wouldn't trade my jeep for a Lamborghini, there's only one, to top it off I added a US Navy Anchor ⚓ tire cover to show my pride of my service to my country as both of my sons have and are serving I'll keep this jeep until it's over the engine will outlast me!!! Jeep should've kept the 4.0 5spd the 3.6 is a great engine too

I bought my 2002 Jeep Wrangler X 4 liter soft top new in 2002. I absolutely love it!!! I'm 6'2" so the leg room leaves a bit to be desired, but other than that it's definitely 5 stars!! The people that wrote this review obviously don't understand the Jeep Wrangler and should probably stick to reviewing Toyotas.

Jeepsie (SE) and I have been together more than 20 years and we’re both showing our age. But Jeepsie still turns on a dime, goes anywhere, does everything, passes everyone (except a gas station) is a hoot to drive and strangers still stop me on the street asking to buy her. Not going to happen. I’m keeping this car until I die!

I’ve owned and driven this 2002 wrangler Sahara for 22+ years now. Had the center of frame (under seats/transmission) welded/replaced. Had rear frame welded/replaced. Just now had front frame welded/replaced before it actually breaks. Currently 305k+ miles on original engine and trans. I will NEVER get rid of my Tank! I love this old girl, since day ONE. And she ain’t leaving me…

Have driven my 2002 Jeep Wrangler for 9 years. Love it! Only reason I'm considering changing vehicles is that my dog cannot get into the back any longer and I have a hard time with the emergency brake. I'm 70 years old and not so strong as I was... Before this I drove an older Jeep and loved it too! I paid $7000 for it and might get that IF I sell it.

Wish I could give a good analysis I bought it used a new one would be nice then maybe things would be different when cars get old they just break.

They hold there value! The 2002 Jeep Wrangler is the most reliable year for the modern with the inline 6 engine this motors run forever. FUN in the SUN on the Beach or at the Lake. Grand Kids will Love to ride it it!

Great for everything very good on gas and fun to drive Very good looking great in snow, sand or mud Good for all seasons strong and reliable

I have had my Wrangler since 2002. I wanted to respond to the post from February 2020 about the death wobble. I had the DW about 5 years ago. Had a 4x4 company change out the track bar twice (they keep installing a mfg bar) and still had the wobble. Another friend that owns a shop and also works on 4x4, told me I needed to upgrade because I added a 2.5 lift and 33" inch tires and needed to upgrade the trackbar so I added a Warner trackbar and never had a problem since.

not safe at all, it also has a death wobble ,this is where it starts shaking so bad you have to pull off road, the frame rusted out and broke ,the leaf spring fell out in front because of rust.
