I'd treat this with a bit of skepticism, especially given Jeep's recent history in terms of reliability (or utter lack thereof).

Recent? Jeeps have never been reliable

I've never owned one, but I thought they were more reliable in the 1980s and '90s. Was I mistaken?

Up to being bought by Chrysler in 1984 they were pretty solid. Because they were so basic. Not much to break, since they were boxes with wheels and that's it. I had a 1990 YJ Wrangler and it was the biggest pile of shit I could imagine being assembled on purpose.
