Yeah. The XJ is one of the lightest SUVs, at about 3100 lbs. A TJ (97-06 Wrangler) weighs around 3500 - 3800 lbs. Also, keep in mind, being an 02, your TJ only has a 3 speed auto, no overdrive. An 03+ would have a 4 speed auto with OD. Any 5 speed TJ, or any auto or 5 speed XJ would also have an OD tranny.
