Re: ZJ - engine options
 

Well the last year you could get the 4.0L was 2004, you have to get the V-6
or V-8. If you just want to get from point A to point B the V-6 is a good
engine and has the best GPM.

Re: ZJ - engine options
 

I am considering cars up to a couple of years old, so the 4.0L straight
is still in the running.

:-)

So my question should read, more generically: Of all the different
engine options offered in 2002-4 ZJs, which one will be the most
reliable, durable, and give me the lowest cost of ownership (not
including gasoline) over an expected cycle of, say, the next five
years/60,000 miles?
