Woah!! You just committed a crime...since your new you get a free pass but don't ever call the 4.0 inline 6 a V6. The xj's are 6 cylinders but V refers to the design of the motor. In a V6 the cylinders rest on both sides of the block at an angle forming th "V" shape. The xj's cylinderds are straight in a lne hence the inline 6 or I6. As far as life span, it depends on care and maintainance. But those 4.0s are pretty bulletproof. I know of guys with over 400k on their jeeps. Mine has 245k and is running strong, no problems whatsoever. Keep up the maintainence on them and they'll run like new forever!

Its got a Disco front axle, a dana Turdy five. "need something smaller" is another way of saying it gets $hitty MPG. Gonna have to end up spending another 500$ on a lift and 500$ on rims and tires. Going wheeling 1 or 2 times your gonna realize you need atleast 4.5 in lift.
