TJ, my wife has an 03 Rubicon that's been going strong since new.
4.0 was a great engine. I have 460k on my 99 xj.

+1 on the TJ because of the 4.0L.

I have friends who just replaced their JKU because of engine issues that no one seems to be able to resolve. Worst of all, they now have a Taco.

Tj Rubicon or jk
Definitely the TJ..... My uncle has a blown up 3.8 jk so not really relevant, but my xj has over 400k on the stock 4.0

Re: Tj Rubicon or jk
With the TJ having 37k less miles and being a Rubicon model I'd go that route.

Without doubt, the 4.0 is a very reliable engine.
