If your TJ is NOT your daily driver, then what IS?

This has been my everyday knocker for the last 8 years:

2004 Exploder XLT 4.6 V8 AWD 3rd row, rear climate, cloth, 8.8 LSD

I have a 2011 F150 XLT 4x4 company vehicle, and my wives 2014 WK2 Limited for whenever I don't want to drive the TJ. The WK2 has a Hemi and is a blast to drive.

Ahhh, I need a picture but mine is a 1999 Honda CR-V!
 
My daily is a 2014 VW Jetta. My wife's is a 2015 Kia Soul that she just picked up a couple of months ago. My daughter turns 16 in a few months; we're considering some form of Jeep Wrangler; probably a used JK (gasp!):

Daily is a 2015 Toyota Corolla, company car. LJ stays in warm garage most of the winter sometimes gets to play on the weekend when not redoing or rebuilding something.

That's the boys GTI next to it, and my daughter's 5 series hand-me-down from my wife in the very back
Then there's shaq diesel in the back row...I have to drive it at least once a week to keep it lubed

Enlighten me, please.

It's the minivan engine that Chrysler decided to put in the JKs when they first came out.

It's plagued with issues from oil burning to auto tranny shifting problems. In addition to that it's pretty down on power from what I've been told.

The 3.6 Pentastar in the 2012+ models is a MUCH better engine.

This is why often times you'll see really clean 07-11 JKs going for less money than a nice TJ.
