I've had several Jeeps with the 4.0 and know how long they can be expected to last with proper maintenance. What years have what issues to look out for and so on.
But what about buying used JKs? A 4.0 TJ with 150,000 miles would not scare me at all. But what about the V6s in the JKs? I know they had two V6s and the later is more desirable. But is either V6 a motor that can last 200,000 miles without a rebuild? What about the JK transmissions? I tried researching this on the JK forums but the info was all over the place. Some people were saying the JKs are on borrowed time after 100,000 miles and some were saying they had 300,000 trouble free miles on theirs. What is the truth?
No, i'm not getting rid of my TJ for a JK
