Actually, you should use ATF+3 in a 2000 Jeep Wrangler rather than ATF+4. ATF+4 is actually recommended for 2001+ models but stick with ATF+3 for your 2000 model. AFT+4 in certain specific tests was shown to be incompatible with certain seal material. This incompatibility may cause a premature failure depending on the duty cycle of the vehicle. The fluid will work as intended however, it may cause a seal failure. Error on the side of caution and stick with ATF+3 as your owner's manual recommends. It's not worth paying $3,000 for a new tranny in a few years due to possible seal failures. (http://www.allpar.com/mopar/transmissions/fluids.html)

Edit: ATF+4 is entirely suitable and is actually a highly desireable replacement ATF for 2002 and older automatic transmissions like the 30RH and 32RH commonly seen in Jeep Wranglers. ATF+4 is 100% downward compatible with ATF+3 and is a superior replacement for ATF+3. ATF+4 is also better able to survive abnormally high transmission temperatures than ATF+3 is. ATF+3 was only specified for 2002 and older 30RH and 32RH transmissions simply because Jeep hadn't made the switch to ATF+3 yet. ATF+4 is also of course the recommended ATF for 2003 and newer Jeep automatic transmissions too.
