1999!
- last year of high pinion Dana 30 front axle
- first year of WJ style intake manifold
- last year of regular distributor
- probably going to be in better condition and/or less miles than something 10 years older (exceptions abound).
That said, I like my 2001. I've put ~65k miles on it since I bought it used at ~35k miles and all I've done is replace fluids and a headlight switch. Just bought a 1998 with ~75k miles on it for my wife. We'll see if it is as reliable.
I prefer the dash/interiors of the 1997+ but to be honest I like all of them all. Great vehicles. One of these years I'll track down a decent SWB MJ to replace my Chev PU.
