the jeep 4.0 is one of the greatest engines of all time for durability. Mileage should be much less of a concern than say frame or body corrosion. And, should you find a TJ in great condition with hi miles, if you get it for a good price then you can always drop the < $2000 for a new crate motor when/if you need it.
BTW, I got my 02 TJ-X with 65k for less than $11,000 4 mos ago from a dealership, with a lifetime drivetrain warranty. And that was after I beat them up on my trade in. I ended up getting almost 4k more than I owed on my Ridgeline. So I ended up getting it for less than $7k out of pocket.
