I like the styling of the new jeep till i saw that artical and my friend kept calling it fly by wire and not drive by wire and mention that fly feature would be when you go off a cliff, lol then it's die by wire. it will be a sad day when a new car comes with a subscription to security software. I still want my 1998 ZJ jeep grand Cherokee, it was the most comfortable vehicle i even had and even saved my life in a roll over. it even landed upright with the engine still running, i am a hoarder so the debris field could probably been seen from space. like a pinata full off tools, electronics parts, clean depends(i have partial incontinence) bottles cans, lots of sharp things but instead of a pinata hit with a stick think of this hit from an artillery round, I had 208k miles on it at that time and still ran great. I only hope the new ones are as reliable, the ZJ was still mostly engineered by AMC and not Chrysler
OH and i forgot mine was the 4.0 as well, the original exhaust manifold cracked, they just about all did and i did the repair my self and took about 8 hours and a friends but his took longer because the former owner broke a bolt that i had to drill out. We called the 4.0 the 4 slow but it was an awesome engine in my view, i would love to buy another ZJ but in michigan they are all starting to show rust and people still want 5 k for a vehicle with the rust and 250k miles, i got a mercury mountaineer of the same year now and only pain 1200 for it, rust is it's main problem now, my jeep was my Dragon Wagon, the mercury is nice but the jeep was still in my view a better vehicle for that year. when ever i drive my mercury i think of the Firestone recall and how top heavy they are
