    Don't forget, a 4.0L with 160HP and a 2.5 with 168 HP (ie M20) are designed for different things. The 4.0 has around 238 ft/lbs of torque IIRC. Plenty of get up and go, just not much top end. It works well for light towing (better with the 5 speed than the slushbox).

        If you happen to find one with the pushrod v6 and a manual transmission, you're set. If you get one with the offroad package, it might even have a factory limited slip rear end. IIRC it's skid plates, bigger rims, and a T2-R diff.
        The 4.0L pushrod engine is bulletproof, yes - but thirsty and gutless.
