History
Belonged to my step mother in law who died 2 years ago. It had 104,000 miles on it in 2016.
Other than when she backed into a low pole in bent in the bumper it was perfect.
I put around 35,000 mile on it when out of the blue cylinder #4 just went dead (could have had something to do with the vacuum leak it had. Anyway I had a shop drop in a motor from a 2000 honda (not sure if it was a CRV or not) with right at 100k on it.
Much better!!! 20 plus more hp and better condition. It will now actually get out of its own way and much more fun to drive. Cost me 2500 for motor and installation (a bit pricey) but it is like driving a new car and was worth it to me.

Modifications
Drivetrain
Newer 2.0 (146 hp) motor instead of the 126 hp factory motor.

Stock interior but it good shape.

No mods yet, just a new windshield with no scratches and I can see again. A few things planned but nothing done yet.

Factory for now
Wheel and Tire
225x70x15 Cooper Discovery AT, good aggressive tread pattern. Not a rock climber but I live 1000 ft. from the beach in Galveston and they do great in the sand. Air them down a bit for deep sand and have driven by 4x4 trucks stuck in the sand (to big for me to help) at the national park on Bolivar.
