I'm in the market for a new 4x4 for backup DD use, snow, camping, mild wheeling, etc. having owned an MJ and XJ before, Im thinking of going with something slightly different. I've researched ZJ's a bit, and heard mixed reviews. the 42RE and quadra crap being the major negatives so far. but what about an early ZJ with 4.0 and AW4? these should be nearly as reliable as a regular XJ correct? and available with a 242 correct? I have driven/ridden in a friend's late 90s ZJ thats pretty loaded but with a 4.0 and loved the interior comfort and ride. this is the main selling point for a ZJ for me, as well as many parts from them seem to be used as upgrades for an XJ. isnt the unibody stronger as well? ZJ coil rear suspension better or worse? I don't want awd for sure and do want automatic and 4.0. what are some pros and cons of going with a 4.0/AW4 ZJ over a comparable XJ?
