I6 or V8? They aren't bad trucks IMO, but the economy will not be much better than a full size tahoe. Brakes gave us ALOT of trouble out of those things, and the full time 4WD system was a PAIN IN THE @$$. Rear ends if it has the dana 44 gave alot of trouble, the 35's not so much, but still more than earlier DANA 35's did. The A/C system wasn't as bad in the WJ as the Zj's were, but still did more than a few evaporator cores in them. If it has the V8, it is a MERCEDES designed V8 with great power output, but it is a european designed engine that does NOT take well to even slightly going past on oil changes and maintence. If it has the 4.0L I6, it's a fairly solid engine, but expect tranny problems out of them. And who can forget about window regulators. I did a SH!T TON of window regualtors when I worked on them. As far as long term holding up, I'm not much help there. I got hurt and left working at teh DODGE dealer in 01, so that platform had only been out since 98, and really wasn't that old when I was wrenching on them.
