Wrangler owners - a question for you

I had a yj few years back and it had the 4cy, never ever again, ever. Wasn't bad scooting around town but that's it. Horribly under powered so glad your looking at the 6.

Had several Cherokees with the 4.0 and the mpg was 13-16 so nothing impressive with them either but man, talk about a tough motor. Last one was submerged to the dash and still couldn't kill it, bent rods and she kept going. Replaced it with a Craigslist motor I picked up for 350 and took about a day, not a bad motor to pull if you have to except for some odd upper bolts on the bell housing.

The wranglers are fun to drive and pretty decent off road in stock dress, I think you'll like it, plus they hold their values so not much to worry over on that end either.
