thanks for the welcoming,
i would love to have the 4.0 but with the gas prices and this being my daily driver, i simply can't afford that.. but for the most, it's been really reliable, having some oil leaking issues but nothing to serious, front diff i had to change all seals, now the back one, i think it's leaking between the engine and transmission but nothing much, and have the steering pump leaking also.. but that was my mistake when changed the engine mounts i unbolt the pump and forgot to tighten again.. so my fault.. for the rest is complete stock apart the tires, kumho road venture mud terrains but with the factory diameter 235/75.. i had removed the sway bar, and that's it..
Some time in the future i'm planing install a 4.5 inch lift kit from RC, but don't have the money for now.. i'm not into hardcore offroad, i'm more expedition type and remote camping so i don't abuse much of it so i hope my tooth pick danas won't be a problem.. and for now is all

Thank you, hey i love your key chain, where can i get one?
Do you people think the 2.5 td is good? Here in europe it's almost treated as a cancer.. everyone says bad things about it.. independent heads, cooling problems.. i don't have reason to complain, but you guys with the 4.0 have a lot more power, i know power isn't everything but it sure helps.. and for what i have read it's pretty much bulletproof..

Yeah I love 4.0's too. Just that I would like something different for once. Im considering a diesel swap for one of my XJs. Probably a mercedes om617
