Re: 6 or 4 cylinders for the wrangler ?
I have a Cherokee ('96) with the 4L 6-cyl ... perfect for my current needs
(good highway speed, pulls the boat, keeps me warm in the winter). When we
move to the west coast :-), I'll probably also get a (used) TJ 4-cyl manual
and command-trac. My opinion, for just taking it easy, a 4-cyl manual
coupled with the command-trac will get me any where I want to go ... just
more slowly :-). And the city (low speed?) mileage *seems to be better* by a
ratio of about 19/15 going by these numbers ... 2.4L 4-cyl, manual: 19 | 20;
2.4L 4-cyl, automatic: 17 | 19; 4.0L Inline 6-cyl, manual: 15 | 18; 4.0L
Inline 6-cyl, automatic: 14 | 18.

Have you looked at the diesel? You get good power better economy and the
fuel costs are lower than unleaded gas.

Unless you know something we don't, there isn't a diesel Wrangler yet.
Although "mic canic" was going to post some photos of the one on his lot ...
