I had a 1999 Jeep Wrangler Sport with the 4.0L Inline Six Cylinder and 4 speed Automatic Transmission with Dana 44 Front and Rear Axels and the 30 inch Tire Package from the Factory. I had a Header Issue at 28K miles where the Headers just came apart right at the Engine Block and was replaced under warranty. Then at 45K miles the Transmission decided to DIE which was also covered by the Warranty. The 3rd issue I had with the 99 TJ was the Dashboard had electrical connection issues that were covered by a FDOT Recall that was covered around 35K miles. I sold my 99 TJ to a good friend of mine and he ended up having issues with the Power Steering Pump around 80K miles when the PUMP EXPLODED during a Trip to the Beach and my buddy and his Pregnate wife had to wait on the side of the highway for about 2 hours for AAA tow truck to show up. Those are all the issues that I know about the TJ but I still love Jeeps. I purchased a 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk w/5.7L Hemi V8 and 3 weeks ago I purchased my wife a new 2026 Wrangler Willys 392 after the 2005 Liberty Limited was getting too old and having A/C issues once again for the 3rd time.

For a new Wrangler, to last forever, has to have 3.6 Pentastar and manual transmission. That’s the formula.

They are not trucks ,my 3.8 does not use any oil between services ! And the 3,6 in the later oil cooler issues are the poor design o rings , sure the alloy unit is far better but the o rings will let you down !

He says to 2023, must be an older recording, because the 24-26, soon to be 27, will be the same as the 23. I just bought a 2026 Rubicon JLU, I had a 2010 Rubicon years ago and hated it, so far I love this one! I also loved my 22 bronco Wildtrak, but there were so many recalls on it, I cut my losses, and got a Jeep.
