go get a wrecked truck and then swap engine, and drive line and axles into the tj and you will never run out of power. About the same amount of hassle as swapping a 4.0 into in.
Why does your Jeep say Toyota on it?

Driving style is right behind whether or not you change the oil in determining how long an engine will last. Excessive application of the throttle will cause an engine to have a shorter life.
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(
