r/WranglerTJ

I have a 97 wrangler that I’ll start using just for work. I have a hard top - can someone help guide me in looking for a soft top? I imagine I’ll need some extra parts as well? I have full doors. I’m hoping to make changes little by little such as new paint job (keeping original teal), new seat covers (any recs?), soft top (mainly so I can maneuver top off and on by myself), and hopefully some interior stuff. Anything that has made the inside of your jeep exponentially better?? She’s got new tires, new brakes, new bands, etc.

I'm looking for a reasonably clean TJ. We live in Miami Beach and this would be a runabout for errands, maybe the occasional trip down to the Keys. It wouldn't be a daily driver, and I'm pretty handy with a wrench if anything simple needs fixing. I'm seeing a lot of re-built titles on the market. Are these a firm stay-away or does this depends on the details of why re-titled. PS, anyone looking to offload a clean 4.0L manual let me know.

Long story short, all I’ve got left for keys is a single cut key that I keep in the engine bay to unlock my doors. That key isn’t chipped, so it turns the jeep on but then it of course cuts the engine off. Mobile key smiths want way too much money to chip another key, is there any way I can do it without a chipped key myself?

I saw how it can be done without a programmed key already. For right now it’s just sitting in my driveway, I drive it once every month but haven’t been able to in close to six months. So no rush, but would like to get the thing moving. TIA
