It will be a daily driver but want to build a mild trail rigThe 4 cylinders should be cheaper. If you goal is to have a daily driver it should be OK as long as you're not going too far to begin with or even less far on a freeway. Of course there are a couple people out there, somewhere, that wouldn't see a potential problem with that.
And watch out for rust inside the frame or between the frame and skid plate. It can be pretty bad there but not quite noticeable.
I'm not sure how this Jeep went from bad to worse at the same time. Every one I've seen is pretty consistent the whole way. The lightest yellow area is pretty bad, the rest should be avoided. And that isn't a shadow below the red line.

Thanks for the input. I'm looking for a daily but want to build a mild trail rig to take out on the weekends and for camping. I'm having a hard time finding a 4.0 that is in good shape in my price rangeWell, they are noticeably slower than the 4.0, and they need really steep gears if you plan on a lift and bigger tires to make power and be able to maintain highway speeds.
I've only driven one, I've never owned one. The one I did drive was geared really low, like 5.13 and it felt OK in city driving.
Yeah the more and more I'm reading and listening to everyone, I'm thinking the same thing.Be patient and find a 4.0!
My daughter's jeep is the 4 cyl. and it sucks on hills and such. Just not enough power. As already stated, if you plan to go with bigger tires at some point you will need a re-gear, so might as well save that money and get a 6 cyl. in the first place.
Looking for one around 6000 to 8000$ I have a f250 I'm trying to sell for close to 3 and going to try for a loan for 5Get the 4.0L 6cyl. They don’t call it the iron duke for nothing. Be patient. The right deal will come along. I passed on a bunch of 4cyl models before finding my 00 TJ. What is your budget, maybe we could help find you one?
If so, do not get a 4cyl. Stay far away from the 4cyl.It will be a daily driver but want to build a mild trail rig
