cheap, reliable, solid I6 power, all weather, room for stuff and people.
I came from the toyota side of 4x4's.... I gotta say, the jeep is an all around better vehicle. The 4.0 KILLS the 22RE in every category.... power obviously and reliability. the 22RE has timing chain and head gasket issues... fixable, sure but I wouldn't call those issues minor. the 4.0.... umm makes noises and leaks a little oil? I can put up with that.
on my second xj... first was wrecked by an idiot with a jag. the XJ saved my ass... 60 mph head on impact and walked (ok stumbled) away with a broken foot.
