Similar to the Willys MB and the CJ Jeeps before it, all Wrangler models continue to use a separate body and frame, rigid live axles both front and rear, a tapering nose design with flared fenders, a fold-flat windshield, and can be driven without doors. Also, with few exceptions, they have part-time four-wheel drive systems, with the choice of high and low gearing, and standard are open bodies with removable hard- or soft-tops. However, the Wrangler series was specifically redesigned to be safer and more comfortable on-road, to attract more daily drivers, by upgrading its suspension, drivetrain, and interior, compared to the CJ line. The suspension on all Wranglers included trackbars and anti-roll bars, and, from the 1997 TJ onwards, front and rear coil springs instead of the previous leaf springs.

Manufactured in 1999, the Wrangler Sport offered was registered new in the United Kingdom on the 23^rd of March that year, being supplied new via Marshall Motor Group Ltd Chrysler Jeep of Cambridge. Fitted with the desirable 3960cc AMC straight-six engine allied to the five-speed manual transmission, the Jeep is finished in Black with cloth interior upholstery. Retained in its first ownership from 1999 until 2017, the Jeep has had just three former keepers from new, and at the time of consignment had covered 88,453 miles from new. Extensively upgraded for off-road use, the Jeep has been fitted with a Rubicon Express suspension kit, FWH conversion, and cast discs amongst further upgrades by FTE 4x4 specialists in 2003 costing over £2,800. Offered with a history file which includes the original book pack containing the stamped service book (displaying ten stamps all from the supplying dealer), and owner’s manual in the Jeep wallet, as well as sundry paperwork, a no advisory current MOT certificate until September 2023, copies of previous logbooks, and a current V5C.
