Would prefer an auto but not opposed to a manual
03' and up 4.0 Auto TJ. Get an LJ(long wheelbase TJ) if you can. Their value holds more than a regular TJ.
Make sure there is a d44 in the rear
The new JK's are better offroad, but are more complicated as far as electronics etc...
YJ's with 4.0's are decent, but old. YJ's are kind of like the bastard child now. not a CJ and not a TJ. They have leaf springs, so lifting is much cheaper than TJ.
CJ's are great, but be prepared for old/classic car issues and cost. And engine issues

to add to that point, i know for the 2014 or maybe 2015 and newer that is a good thing in terms of engine performance. i don't know the negatives to it except that you could take an old jeep out and leave the top off 100% and it isn't ever going to ruin your dash electronics. jk models can still remove doors, and flop down front wind shield etc.
