Our 2000 was reborn this weekend. We stroked to a 4.6. With regearing in 2018, rebuilt transmission in 2019 and now a rebuilt 4.6 motor, we nick name Scratchy "New Jeep".
I'm running an 05 LJ. There are several still around and I am on my 5th.
The LJ will stay with me forever but the next jeep that comes my way will probably be a 4 door variant.
