1999 Cherokee XJ 4.0L 5-sopd

[HikerJeep]

After 365,000 miles, the 4.0L "bullet-proof" motor gave out on me. Need an engine swap (considering a Powertrain reman). Any recommendations of a great Jeep-experienced shop in the greater Seattle/Puget Sound region to do such?
Many thanks.

Auburn Car Repair and off road would be my choice for that project.

https://auburncarrepair.com/ website under construction, but John Mathews know his way around these jeeps. contact info there is correct.

Thanks. John is also my choice; he's worked on each of my XJs over the years; problem is he's heading out for vacation and won't be back until 02/10, and I need to get the rig back on the road as soon as possible (work, work, work . . . ), so I'm looking for Plan B.

Appreciate your response.
