I hear ya. I have been driving my 90 4 runner while my work truck is in the body shop.
I love it and can’t part with it but it’s no good for work.

I’m gradually restoring my old 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the 4.0 straight six. Owned since new currently at 185,000 miles.

Didn’t know they made the Grand with the 4.0 in 1998

Had a 1990 Wagoner with a 4.0 that struggled with pulling the boat (19’). Traded that in for a new 1997 Grand with the 5.2.

The ZJ Grand (1993-1998) was originally released with the 4.0 and that continued all the way to the end of the next Grand series (WJ, 1999-2004) the 5.2 V8 was available in the ZJ from 1993 on up. The main difference was the V8 had a lot more torque. The 4.0 towed my 20' boat OK, but my '07 WK with the 5.7 (330 hp, 375 ft lbs of torque) pulled it like it's not there.
