WJ is the 99-04 Grand Cherokees
YJ is the 86–95 Wranglers
TJ is the 97–06 Wranglers

And so on.
so the one im looking at is a WJ any idea on what it may be worth?

Not a clue. Sorry bout that.

I wouldn't pay more than $3000 if it is mint. $2500 would be better. What's he asking?

The cost of parts doesn't factor into the price much. That's the joy of modding a vehicle, you know every dime you put in is gone.

Yeah adding aftermarket parts do not add anything to a book value.The only aftermarket thing i seen add anything was a spray in bedliner on a pickup added 50 bucks to the trade in.

Cylinder head and look at post 12 http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/t...1-head-977498/ you just open the oil cap on the valve cover and look inside it,If you see the word TUPY its been replaced with the upgraded head,If the words not there its the factory head that can crack.

Having a shop replace a cylinder head 1500 to 2 grand easy its a big job.
