so i have been helping the gf find a car well i tried to get her to get a xj but she wants newer and not to be "boxy" she said so she likes the wjs the laredo so i am getting her to get the i6 version in a 2004 with 88,000 miles on it very clean. i was just wondering being an xj guy is there anything to watch out for in these from 99 to 04 i know its got a dana 35 and dana 30 just want to know of any problems that may come up if any thanks

For a 4.0L... look for the 02+ as they fixed the broken piston issue of earlier models and the 0331 head.

Obviously a rig with service receipts, bonus for trans maintenance.


My wife loves her WJ compared to her earlier XJ and ZJ.

well its not going to be a rig i just want to give her some better tires on it like A/T's and not really do anything to it bc she knows what i would do

Just make sure to keep oil in that thing. I think i recall a few guys sayin that they are known for burning oil.

i check my fluids all the time on my xj i will do the same to hers also i want to change out the pvc valves bc those plastic ones suck
