4 cyl Jeep?
 

What does eveybody think of the 4 cyl. 2.5 L powerplant? I have seen a lot
of good looking Jeeps lately that are exactly what I am after, except the
4-banger. Am I being to hard on a good motor, or is a 4 cyl. to light for a
Jeep? I am not looking for a serious off-roader, but I do want to be able to
dump three people, gear and a dog in it and drive to hunt camp 350 km away
through the Ontario snow.....
What about options like aftermarket carbs and exhaust systems to tweak the 4
bangers? Any magazines and catalogs I have seen ignore them completely. Are
they out there or are they not worth doing?

Thanks,
Dan Hoskin

Many people here swear by the four banger, they most have only
driven VWs. I'm sure you'll be embarrassed by it's total lack of power,
especially if loaded with your camping gear on the highway. There no
substitute for cubic inches, and that's why most you find for sale are
the gutless ones.

Re: 4 cyl Jeep?
 

The 4cyl performance is adequate when you are alone in a stock rig. Bigger
tires or more people will leave you crying on hills, being passed by VW
busses.

Get the six.

If you have another vehicle, the 4 is fine. It's a bit slow
but it's faster then walking or riding a bike! If you're
top down on a nice day, who cares how fast you're going.
