Jeep Wrangler JK Pre-Purchase Inspection Checklist | 2007-2018 Buyer's Guide PDF | TIPM & Death Wobble

$5.50
Buying a Jeep Wrangler JK or JKU Unlimited (2007–2018)? Skip the generic used-car checklist — this one is built specifically for this generation, based on real research across NHTSA recall data, Jeep enthusiast forums, and the documented issues that actually affect these vehicles.

WHAT'S INSIDE (4-page instant-download PDF): ✔ Pre-seller VIN, title, and theft-check steps ✔ The #1 thing most buyers have never heard of: TIPM (Totally Integrated Power Module) failure — the central electrical computer behind a well-documented pattern of fuel pumps running with the engine off, random wiper/lock activation, and no-start conditions, especially on 2007–2013 models. Includes a specific test you can do yourself in under a minute ✔ The same "death wobble" pattern explained honestly, carried through from every Wrangler generation, with the real component checks behind it ✔ 3.8L V6-specific oil consumption and exhaust manifold guidance (2007–2011) ✔ Frame rust checks specific to this platform's off-road and water-crossing use ✔ 4WD and transfer case engagement checks ✔ Full engine bay, fluid, and driveline inspection points ✔ Wheels, tires, brakes, and every exterior light ✔ Soft top / hardtop condition and seal-leak checks ✔ Interior and electrical checks built around catching TIPM symptoms ✔ A structured, safety-conscious test-drive checklist ✔ A full notes page to record what you find

FORMAT: Instant digital PDF download, 4 pages, print at home, checkbox format.

This listing covers the JK/JKU (2007–2018) only. TJ (1997–2006) and JL (2018–present) versions also available in my shop — or grab the complete 3-generation bundle and save.
