I had a wrangler and even though it was fun... it had more problems then you could imagine. You name it, it broke. It also wasn't that great on the sand. My 4runner is 10 times better.

A friend of mine bought a new 04 auto wrangler and in the first 5K miles, he had the brakes stop working, clutch fail, and rear diff leak. On a side note, the roadside assistance came up short when they didn't show up, then they told him to call someone on his own and they would reimburse him. They never did...

Jeeps with a 4.0 do not have reliability or safety issues. I beat the snot out of mine and its fine. I also know of many jeeps with 150-200k on them and thay still run fine. I'm on my 2nd and it took a pond and my poor descision making to kill my first. IMO the reliabitity has been awesome in the 1997+ models, despite Chryslers take over. Safety is just a common sense thing, its not a mustang. The biggest downfalls of wranglers is the size(freakin tiny) and the mileage.
