Lol! "Something like" not being specific. Any peppy turbo 4 cylinder would be fine.
Not like what they have in the Jeeps these days, yuck.

Just need a 2nd radiator strapped above the windshield like a giant light bar to cool the **** thing in ArizonaSorry folks, the 4.0 was the perfect engine for this vehicle, with the Aisin transmission behind it. The amount of immediate low end torque that engine put out was perfect for off roading and just everyday driving. My mother had a '90 with the wheels atikovi is lobbying for, that thing was a beast.
What's with the reverse "Jeep" logo on 2 of the wheels pictured?For about what it will cost to repaint the steel wheels, you could put on these oem aluminum wheels,

A 1UZ engine will work with your transmission. You will need the bellhousing and pump from the Toyota, however. There's a few XJs running around with that engineLol! "Something like" not being specific. Any peppy turbo 4 cylinder would be fine.

If I were entertaining an engine swap, it would be an older diesel. If you want the grunt for off-road, that's where it's at.A modern 4 cylinder turbo like a Honda 2.0T or similar would be a perfect power and torque combo for it. If it were lifted and had big tires, would have to go 6 cylinder turbo for sure.
VW TDI would get it done, but I think you're a little sensitive to themLol! "Something like" not being specific. Any peppy turbo 4 cylinder would be fine.

Lol probably the worst engine option.Pretty sure I remember a Renault diesel available on the earlier models. That's the engine to have in these.

Had to be a four.Yes, I think it was a 3.0 liter V6.
Yes, I think it was a 3.0 liter V6. Never saw one but I read about a guy that found a low mileage one a year or two ago and it ran!
Yup, 2.1L 4 cylinder. From what I've heard they were junk reliability with very little power, and parts in the U.S. are nearly impossible to find.Here you go,
Cohort Pic(k) of the Day: Jeep Cherokee (XJ) With 2.1 L Renault Turbo Diesel - Curbside Classic
It’s long been my ambition to find a Jeep Cherokee with the Renault 2.1 L Turbo Diesel. No such luck, but then I’m not surprised as they were only sold […]www.curbsideclassic.com
Nah, I want it to look exactly like it always has, and how it was when I was young going on trips in it with my grandpa. Although tasteful upgrades like seats or stereo etc. is ok with me. I won't even update the headlights to non-halogens, doesn't look right to me. My dad is always trying to get me to lift it, put a light bar and roof rack on it, and big tires but no way. I may do that one day with another one, but this one will stay true to itself.VW TDI would get it done, but I think you're a little sensitive to them
Have you considered having the DOT labels (or something like them) remade?
