Re: 6 cyl. YJ or 4 cyl. TJ?????????
 

Go with the 6 cyl.! We have two members with 4 cyl. YJ's and they both cry
about power constantly. They add all these bolt on devices trying to get
more power (throttle body, inertia rings, K&N, electric fan, etc.). But no
matter what they do, it doesn't replace cubic inches. On the trail the
problem is torque... the 4 cyl. wants to stall out... have to feather the
clutch and keep RPM's up. On the highway any small hill they have to down
shift and no passing power.

Generally, when talking about stock unmodified jeeps, the earlier the
production year, the more suitable for off-roading.
