I recently (2023) bought a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0 v6, second hand, I’m in deep love with it in all aspects. My friends with more modern SUV and pickups are admiring its performance on and offroad. It’s a beast they say.
I daily drive a 2004 Laredo with the 4.0 motor. I occasionally go to my local salvage yards when I need a part or I'm bored. I see so many of these WJs in the salvage yards with the V8 motors. They have no body damage and the interiors are in mint condition except for the driver's seat. All these V8 WJs I see in the salvage yards aren't wrecked they're in their because the motor is blown. Any time I see a WJ with a 4.0 motor at the salvage yard it's because it's been in a accident.
