Starter motor for jeep tj 2006

[finnjeep]

Hi guys

My starter motor has just shit its self on my wrangler tj 2006. Could anyone recommend the best option for me.

I can either order one ( bosch brand) of ebay for 157$$ and install it my self. I'm not really sure if these are any good though

or I can pay the jeep dealership around 1000$ to order and fit or get a second hand starter motor from trax industries for about the same price as the bosch

Cheers

I would order one from ebay if it is a Bosch

Have had eBay Bosch for 4 years.
Only got it so I'd have a spare, kept original and fitted Bosch (auto).
It does seem more prone to clickity click after water crossings than the stocker.
Never left me stranded though.
Usually leave running for an hour before turning off.
Im talking anything above the bottom of the doors.

I decided to just buy a Remy starter motor from Rockauto. About the same as australian prices and has the correct connections on the solanoid. I noticed the bosch and other brands in australia will need to be altered slightly to fit the plug in my jeep
