Hi everybody! I have the opprotunity to pick up a 1987 MJ, but my dad said that the 4.0 from 1987 was unreliable, and that the parts for it are next to impossible to come across. Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Tell your dad he is nuts and buy the Commanche already! Seriously, if I could come across one for the right price, I would scoop it up in a heartbeat.
Yea, parts aren't the easiest to find but they are still out there.

the 4.0 is one of the most reliable engines out there.
