XJ for technical simplicity and availability of platform support for both off-road/overland community and aftermarket parts availability.
This.
I'd much rather try to limp an XJ out of the middle of nowhere than a WK.

My WK was in the dealer 4 times for that message after the dumb recall was performed. Had new software programing, wire harness work and two shift motors. It worked for a few weeks before I went to Colorado (was a record) so I thought it was fixed. It failed when I was out there. Luckily the next night I found the FDCM fuse pull patch online to get 4LO for one use. Fed up, I sold that Jeep and bought a Toyota.Pretty much since day one I've been plagued by the "Service 4wd" message, I don't have 4 low at the moment. I believe I just need to replace my shifter motor on the transfer case, but that is a testament to everyone's point on the simplicity of the XJ.
