Um? I didn't build my jeep to turn tires on the street either, it was an example of the power out-put the 4.0L has in stock form. It was a funny comment though. You don't "need" to go offroad in a Jeep either, so why do it? Personally, I love being laughed at by a riced out Civic reving their 4 banger, then I let 'em have a nice coat of white stinkin' smoke from my tires.

If you can't stand a bigger engine, then that condradicts what you were saying about building a stroker motor, or even putting in the 4.0L at all.

My point is that you'll have more than just reliability, you'll have a lot more horses as well. Along with the reliability comes some extra ponies; you're gonna tell me you could care less about that? If so, my suggestion would be to look at some Throttle Body injection kits, instead of the MPI option, and keep your 258 as-is.
