I was wondering how you found a 5.9, quad cab, for less than 20,000, then I saw the mileage. 320,000 miles DANG. but if it’s been maintained that’s not really a problem.

Have you ever driven a 2.5l Wrangler. I can tell you it’s hilariously bad. However it is a good excuse for a V8 swap.

Yeah, that's crazy cheap to me for the Nissan. And no, I haven't had the "pleasure" of driving a Jeep with the 2.5, but I figure that would be my "adventure" rig, so it shouldn't matter too much about how slow it is.

I had the 2.5l as my dd for 3 years back in my late teens early 20s, aka when my spine could handle that abuse.

The 2.5l mixed with 31" tires was a dog. I remember going south into Barstow on the I-15 (a hill to climb but nothing huge) against a headwind and I had to draft big rigs to go faster than 35.
