The 4.0 is nothing but a hunk of cast iron that will last a lifetime, unlike the complex electrical systems that only last a few years and consume vast amounts of toxic rare earth metals that get "recycled" (smelted in open fires) by kids in China and parts of Africa. The XJ is an American car made on civilized terms. It was made by Americans and could be afforded by Americans (ahem and Canadians). Vehicles like the Prius are only affordable thanks to subsidies, non-existent environmental regulations, and wage-slave factories overseas. Not only is the Prius not environmentally friendly - it's unpatriotic.
Sorry... Rant mode off lol

New twist on an old standard today.
Me: "Also, I'll need some spark plugs"
Parts guy: "Okay, what year?"
Me: "1999 Jeep"
-- wait for it --
Parts guy: "Heh, you Jeep guys! Wrangler?"
-- told you so --
Me: "Cherokee"
And he clicked the right one, didn't even pause over Grand. Weeeeeiiiird
