2009 Sahara Unlimited 1 owner, 8346 miles, verified CarFax from Nantucket Island, averaged 600 miles per year, was serviced every spring at the Ford Dealer on the island, same issue each year, oil change, battery, emission testing due to failing, all listed in the car fax report. My question to the forum, is there anything I should be checking out being it's not been driven much over it's life time and moving forward what's the first modification suggested? Thanks everyone.......

 

Welcome to JKF. Good looking Ride.. Yes, the normal wear maintenance items; Belts, hoses, rubber brake hoses, date code on tires, shocks for leaks for starters.. If you have a local mechanic have them check it over. Sounds well cared for just not driven much at all.. Drive it enjoy it and as for Mods, driver it a while; let's see what forum members suggest and you decide what is what you want it to be.

 

Gosh, that is really a nice find.....and though it's from a "rust" zone, it's seen so little use that things should be tip top. Normally with that sort of age you're dealing with worn plastic, connectors, rubber n stuff in the engine bay and anything you touch needs replaced, but with so few miles and engine heat cycles I bet most of that is fine. Mainly rubber things like Jay highlights.

 

with that kind of low mileage your rig is just about new! gives you plenty of time before things start wearing to replacement. I can't imagine that even your stock shocks are worn out. Also provides time to figure your next move. I would start with the interior and getting it set up how ever you want and gathering trail worthy items (portable air compressor - small shovel - tow straps - etc) Take a few trips offroad see how it handles - the suspension may be fine for what you want to do offroad. Some talented, experienced peeps on this site who will help you out if you make half an effort. Welcome to the forum.

 

Thanks for input and advice..... Last summer we stopped in Silver Lake Michigan and realized we need to come back next year but in a Jeep. Best online forum I've found.... Again thank you to everyone

Only thing I would say is wrong with it is those extra two doors hanging on the back side
