Dude I have a 5.9 with 255k miles and a custom exhaust, I’m the second owner and I go on the highway and go to a nearby town and then come back every day so I ha e an excuse to floor it. My average mpg is 8.4 and I don’t care. It’s my baby a I will rebuild the motor when it seizes. There’s nothing like a 360 Mopar Big Block in a Mid size SUV. I love your video, and I hope that your 5.9 will stay in such mint condition for a long time.

Yet, nobody mentions the programmable garage door opener built into the driver visor or the stereo controls on the back side of the steering wheel which one just uses one finger tips. Dimming mirrors. Yet the 98 5.9 is distinct as it's the only ZJ with the functional hoods louvers. I notice it because my '97 has all those features, along with the sun roof and fuel tank, differential and front armor which is rare. The dealership installed the class III hitch for mine for free as it was an easy "recall" issue. Back glass raises and has the wipers. I forgot to mention the heated leather front seats. Congrats on still having yours. :)

Nice tribute to the 5.9. Maybe one day a collector like the Wagoneer is today. About suspension, that's right that there is no difference with the standard ZJ, but what I enjoy is that it allows the Niner to go off road, while the Trackhawk and SRTs are excusively dedicated to street use, which can become quickly boring in real life.

I am absolutely fascinated by big motor Jeeps. I also currently own a 1977 Cherokee Chief with a factory 401ci engine. Great comparison you did here and I like how you looked deep to see the similarities. It’s the same idea! The 5.9 was so special when it came out, glad you did it justice here.

I have 4.7 WJ, and I have to say, maybe they have 1/4 of the power of modern supercars, but that 1st gear is so aggressive you will get off the line the fastest all the time. And if you drive some people, they feel like "woow, this pulls like a jet plane". And yes, they are super comfortable. You can even get used to that sway. My rear sway bar is totally loose in bushings, and it's still fine, just a matter of habit. 5.9 without muffler and cat sounds bruuutaaaal...
