The best anecdotal data I have seen on here was from a member that worked at an auto salvage yard that said he saw far more 3.6’s go out than 2.0’s. I guess he knew what type of vehicle they were going into? I am of the opinion that sheety or no maintenance is the biggest enemy of either engine. I also feel fortunate that my gently used, well documented maintenance, bought used 18 has the 2.0. 😉
That would be me. I’d hardly call it data since I don’t have any real hard numbers and obviously more 3.6s on the road. But we send out many more wrangler specific 3.6s than we do any wrangler 2.0s

We do send out Cherokee 2.0s though but their issue is caused by how they are mounted in the bay, heat from the turbo since it’s mounted in front washes over cylinder 2 and cooks it.

Some people like to beat their heads against rocks, some like to drown in mud 🤷‍♂️. It all sounds like child behavior to me. :LOL:
I mean if you beat your head against a rock enough you probably would start to enjoy driving in mud

Wait, no hitch, plastic bumper, WHAT THE FUCK!!!!!!!!!!
I havent ripped off the bumper yet, and the stock muffler too only has good dents in it. I tried like hell in Moab tho but it just hung on. And the Jeep isnt mean to tow why would it have something to get hung up on rocks?

To protect the muffler, duhz. And those weird step things.
