From what I have seen of Jeeps, their build quality is marginal and any vehicle in that price range will likely have a lot of problems, esp if it has been off-road. I bought a '91 Cherokee with 106K miles last fall, and went through it extensively. There is a lot of crappy engineering and production short-cuts, but it is fun to drive (with the 4.0) and very capable off road and in the snow.
I suggest a (relatively) low mileage stripper 4 cylinder Toyota 4x4 pick-up. You will probably have to go back to near MY 1990 to get one at the price you want. Plan on keeping a little extra cash handy for mandatory repairs - there will always be _something_ wrong with a $4000 used truck.
Edmonds.com is a good source for specs, info and prices of older vehicles.
