looking for any help or advise whether or not to buy a Wrangler with this motor.It will not tow anything,just use it for 'topless' fun......anybody have anthing?

Jeep sold lots of Wranglers with that engine. You'll get tired of the Jeep long before you get tired of that engine....

I agree! The jeep 2.5 is the 4.0 less two cylinders. Just as tuff, just as durable, and it will have all the same oil leak issues!

oil leak issues?

Around the valve cover gasket///like the 300 Ford straight 6 cylinder?

[Jeremy airjer W]

Valve cover, oil pan, rear main... the usual.

Very tough motor, had '89 wrangler w/ 2.5l; had a 6 1/2' plow on it. Did a couple parking lots and driveways. plenty of power for that, hauled trailers fine, Never leaked for me, sold w/ about 180,000miles. Fun vehicle, great turning radius for plowing, and runnin' trails.

Yep, a thumbs up from me on the 2.5...
