I have an 05 TJ that needs some engine work and I thought it might be smart to have one of these handy. I've heard pros and cons for both. Does the forum have any preference?

I definitely agree here. Nothing better than an FSM. If you watch eBay or here for one used, it would only be a few dollars more. I actually have both Chiltons and Haynes, came with the YJ. I found that the info is pretty much the same even to being word for word. I think its the same publisher now anyway.

Factory is best. Chilton's is acceptable. For domestic vehicles, I find Haynes manuals most useful for evening up odd workbench legs (they're okeh for imports, but I've not had good luck with them for domestics. And, I consider them to be incomplete...)
