yes.. there is not enough room to mount 48" tall super swamper tires without putting in a body lift kit...

there have been problems with death wobbles.. usually corrected with a new steering damper... and inspecting the steering linkage..

sometimes the tubular exhaust manifolds crack.. but they are easily welded at a muffler shop who is used to welding on tubing..  they do have to be removed once in a while...

the 4.0's tend to have distributer bushing failures...

but these problems... are similar to other models... of almost every car...

oh.. and dont let the kids roll the windows up and down and up and down...   there have been problems with the window regulators...   aftermarket replacements are available at a quarter of the mopar price...
