GL on the not rusty find. Most Jeeps the frame rots out by the rear wheel wells and the fenders and tubs are usually gone. Best to find the newest one possiable, but you will pay a lot more. The 2.5 is great with stock size tires. Its not horriable with 33’s unless your going up long steep hills. Other then that its pretty peppy.
