91-95 XJ sport 4.0 auto. If you can find a Country they are the same thing but came 1" taller than any other options. Wouldn't go with a limited. All those options can suck to replace.

Well if you look really far in the future although I am an XJ nut ZJ and WJ's look better when dove nosed and dove tailed. But that typically is no longer a dd.

And extra weight... and chrysler transmissions... even worse gas mileage than the xj, especially if you have the AWD transfer case that has no 2-hi
