hmmm.....when i was in HS my 1st ride was a jeep wrangler. it had the 4.0 with a manual. A few of my friends had them also. did we wreck them, sure. on and off the trail, yep. Are they still on the hwy running around, yep. Not a single one of us ever ended up in the ER ever after a roll over from hitting boulders on the side the highway. either the 4 or the 6 is fine. I didnt fine the 6 to be too much power. I would go with the manual too. Whats really good about the newer body styles is that, they have airbags and a better roll bar for the passengers. Put a small lift on the ride and now the vehicle height is greater than most of the other vehicles out there on the road if a wreck happens. Plus it has roll bars and if he wants to go 4 wheeling thats what its made for. Plus they are pretty easy to mess with.
