This Wrangler captures that spirit with its purposeful stance, rugged accessories, and an attitude that suggests open roads and off-road trails ahead. It balances a familiar, utilitarian personality with upgraded capability, making it easy to picture family outings, trail runs, or cruising to a show. For buyers who want both classic Jeep character and strong V8 thrust, this 1997 Jeep Wrangler equipped with an LS1 5.7L V8 and a four-speed automatic could be the one to own. Step inside and you find a purposeful, driver-focused cabin that blends original elements with upgraded audio and protection. The instrument cluster has been updated to a digital display, and the center console wears a Rugged Ridge cover. Seating shows authentic patina consistent with an off-road life while a roll cage and matching full-size spare underscore capability. Entertainment is handled by a Sony head unit, Alpine speakers, and a JL Audio subwoofer in the rear. The floor is finished with a Ronline coating and a rubber mat for easy cleanup. Under the hood sits a strong LS1 5.7L V8 mated to a 4L60E four-speed automatic, presenting a modern powertrain in a classic package. The Jeep fires up readily and offers confident acceleration with smooth shifts reported during inspection. An aftermarket air intake with a Delphi mass airflow sensor feeds the engine, and headers route to a dual exhaust for an invigorating note. Four-wheel-drive functionality and a selectable rear locker are fitted, while wiring and hoses present well. Suspension upgrades include Fox 2.0 shocks and ACOS adjustable springs, providing a lifted, capable stance on 35-inch tires.
