Question: Accuracy or Milage and Choice of Summer Top - 2001 TJ Newbie

Hi All,

I just bought a 2001 TJ SE, pretty much loaded with 225/75R15 tires. Now I am awaiting for the lien release to get a tag for it. However, I have two questions,

1) How do I know if the mileage is accurate? In my other vehicle, if someone disconnects the odometer cable, the factory shop will discover (Mercedes ML-320). The seller, who was the first owner, marked on the title "the mileage stated is in excess of its mechanical limit", and later wrote a statement to declare it was a mistake. The stated mileage is 28,178.

2) Will you recommend a bikini or a safari top in the mid Atlantic area? And where is a good place to buy such quality product? Or, will you recommend any other tops??? It currently equipped with black demi soft top.

Much thanks for providing me these info.

Best,

Joe

01 TJ SE

Mileage stated is in excess of mechanical limit means there is a 5 digit odometer that can only read to 99,999.9 miles, and the actual mileage is greater than 100,000 miles. Yout TJ has a 6 digit odometer that can raed to

999,999.9 miles. The odds are good that it has less than a million miles.

Back seat passengers will appreciate the Safari top. If you seldom carry back seat passengers, then either one will keep you and the other front seat passenger pretty equally dry. BesTop is probably the best product.

Since it is a violation of federal and state laws to knowingly tamper with a vehicle odometer, this is probably the true mileage, unless you bought the vehicle from a felon. ;o)

If it is made out of canvas, and it fits on a Jeep, Bestop is the only choice.
