Default What to look for when buying a WJ?

I'm looking at buying a 99-01 GC and need to know what are some common things to look for? I am looking at the V-8's, not necessarily a 4X4. I've owned a couple of XJ's with the 4.0, and those were bulletproof. But I need a little more hp/torque to tow my Mustang.

Thanks
DJ

If your main purpose is towing then 4.0 will do but you can also consider getting 4.7 for increased towing capabilities...
4.0L is 2.2tons
4.7L is 3.0tons
