Can you spot any important rust issues with this 2011 JK Sahara?
This jeep had an East Coast past life. I’d appreciate knowing any red flags I should pay attention to. Thanks!

Thinking about buying a 2-door JK Sahara 2007 for 8k CAD (170kms)— worth it? Its Canadian
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.

Upgrades
I have a 09 and I’m wanting to upgrade parts so I need tips and ideas of things I can do myself. I can pretty much do most things aside from engine, trans, axels. I’m wanting to make it fun to drive again. Don’t have a budget but don’t need the most expensive things. Let me know good places to buy from and what y’all have done. Thanks

Coolant coloration
I bought OAT coolant (purple in the photo) to top off the reservoir and noticed the coolant currently in my 2018 JK looks orange. I know the color fads and this coolant has been in my Jeep for at least the past 3-4 years with no issue, so I would assume it’s correct. What’s your opinion here? Obviously I’m not mixing them, but also don’t want to do a full flush.
