they should be cheap now that winter is over. don't let the high miles scare you if the jeep is check out good. 150k miles that's pretty like the middle life of the jeep. my '98 only got 119k miles that's a baby miles

Yeah this one. Needs rear main seal though. http://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/cto/4399910064.html

This one looks good too

One more, a little above my budget though http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/4394283450.html
