I have a 2001 XJ that was my DD until I blew a hole the size of a grapefruit in the block. Now my former DD is a project jeep that I want to turn into an overlander for camping vacations and such. So it needs to bebeefy enough for moderate off roading, but I don't plan on crawling with it. Since I have to completely replace the engine, I'm looking for ideas on what would be good swaps to make to meet my overlander goals? Should I go with a v8 swap? stick with the I6? Maybe a diesel swap? I'd love to hear from anyone who has made a swap and can give me some pros and cons from experience.
