About This 2004 Jeep Wrangler Sport

This 2004 Jeep Wrangler Sport 2-door SUV is stocked as unit DA4721 at Diamond Auto Exchange, located in Colton in San Bernardino County, CA. With 106,097 miles on the odometer, this Wrangler sits squarely in the sweet spot for a used TJ — these trucks are well-documented for lasting well past 200,000 miles with routine maintenance, meaning there's still a tremendous amount of life left in this one. The Sport trim represents the core Wrangler experience: rugged capability, open-air freedom, and mechanical simplicity that owners and mechanics both appreciate.
 

2004 Jeep Wrangler Performance and Engine

Under the hood lives Jeep's legendary 4.0-liter inline-six cylinder engine — widely regarded as one of the most reliable and torque-rich engines ever put into a 4x4 vehicle. Producing around 190 horsepower and 235 lb-ft of torque, this powerplant delivers strong low-end grunt that's ideal for both highway cruising and crawling over rocks. Paired with an automatic transmission, daily driving is smooth and approachable even for buyers who want off-road capability without constantly working a clutch in traffic.

The 4WD drivetrain gives you real, selectable four-wheel drive — not an all-wheel drive system that's just window dressing. Engage it when conditions demand it on trails, muddy back roads, or the mountain passes throughout San Bernardino County, and disengage it for everyday driving. This is old-school 4WD the way Jeep intended it.
 

Jeep Wrangler Sport Features and Interior

The Wrangler Sport trim is honest and purposeful. It gives you the foundational Wrangler experience with full weather protection, foldable windshield, removable doors and top (depending on configuration), and functional dash controls designed to endure years of outdoor exposure. The interior is built to be easy to clean and hard to damage — a philosophy that working buyers, weekend warriors, and outdoor enthusiasts genuinely appreciate.

The Sport trim isn't loaded with luxury touches, and that's actually part of its appeal. Fewer electronics means fewer things to go wrong. What you get is a tight, driver-focused cockpit designed around utility. Whether you're heading to Big Bear, Joshua Tree, or just commuting across the Inland Empire, this Wrangler gets the job done without unnecessary complication.
 

Jeep Wrangler Reliability and Ownership

The TJ-generation Wrangler (1997-2006) with the 4.0-liter inline-six is consistently ranked among the most reliable Jeeps ever produced. Owners across the country routinely report crossing the 200,000 and even 300,000-mile mark with proper care. The 4.0-liter is known for being extremely forgiving — it tolerates heat, hard use, and deferred maintenance better than most engines from the same era.

Common ownership considerations for a Wrangler at this mileage include inspecting the soft top or hard top seals, checking for frame rust (less of a concern in Southern California's dry climate), and verifying the condition of the axle seals and transfer case. California-based Wranglers are especially desirable in the used market because the dry, salt-free climate dramatically reduces corrosion compared to trucks from the Northeast or Midwest. That's a genuine advantage for buyers in and around Colton and the greater San Bernardino County area.

The TJ generation is praised for its reliability, parts availability, and strong resale value. At 106,097 miles, this truck still has significant life remaining when properly maintained.

It focuses on capability and durability over luxury, making it ideal for buyers who want a genuine off-roader without excessive electronic complexity.
 

Is a Wrangler with an automatic transmission good for off-roading?

Absolutely.
