Just to put my 2 cents into the 4cyl debate. My daughter has had a 95 YJ
4cyl for about 4 years, she has a 4" lift, runs 33 x 12" BFG MTs, locked
front and rear, and 4.88 gears. Hyway is not great, but with lift and tires
she doesn't want it too fast anyway, off road there is no difference in
power at 5 miles an hour climbing whatever.
