My question for you guys is do any of you have experience with the 4.0 inline 6 that it has under the hood..from what I read it is really reliable but is under powered and heavy as a fat girl after a free trip to the buffet
Any input would be great..yes I taste tested the antifreeze and it is good in case anyone was wondering

Fantastic engine, the 4.0L straight six with a 5 speed is pure gold. The engine has good torque too for only having 190hp. It's not underpowered for a 3600lbs Cherokee (the Wrangler is even lighter). You can do some basic stuff to get it up over 200hp like a cat back system and a cold air intake. But don't do anything stupid like put headers on it, it's expensive and does not really help and it hurts reliability.
