Bought the TJ used with 121,000 km and in seemingly good condition apart from rusted fenders and floor. Like the vehicle but the OPDA problem is significant. According to Chrysler bulletins stating what production date vehicles were subject to the OPDA problem, my TJ did not qualify. The OPDA gear on mine was nearly worn completely, I had major bucking problems and found out the cause on the internet, not via a Chrysler recall. I bought a new OPDA on the internet from a recognized supplier of a good replacement part. I am not sure if the cam gear is damaged. The engine seems to run reasonably well but the engine timing was quite tricky. I don't trust my TJ for long distances. I own a 2007 Liberty and a 2001 Cherokee Sport (176,00 km) and both have been very reliable. I have also owned a 2006 Liberty, a 1992 Cherokee Sport and a 1984 CJ and all were good reliable vehicles.

Great around town as the short steering radius allows very easy parking and the short length for negotiating traffic. Not so great on fuel economy as it has the 4.0 inline 6 engine.

For the 2005 model year Jeep offered the Jeep Wrangler with a special edition Willys package. The package included a special metallic olive green paint and olive green soft top. Inside of the Wrangler were seats dressed in iconic woodland BDU camouflage. Wranglers of this variety are easily identified by the Willys logo on the front quarter panel, black settle wheels, and typically a sticker package reminiscent of the early Willys MB and Ford GPW. The venerable 4.0L I6 engine comes standard offering undeniable reliability and low-end grunt expected of the standard barrier of offroad vehicles. The Rubicon of this generation is undeniably the GOAT, but the 05 Willys is a highly desired and unique offering. Personally speaking out of all the vehicles I’ve owned this will always be my favorite.
