    TreadWright - I want skinnies, but are they LOUD?

    Looking at the exact same tire in the same size currently... look forward to seeing pics of them mounted and your impressions. What was your final cost out the door mounted and balanced?

    It's done! 3.0-liter turbo-diesel FJ60 from TLC

    Yeah, I posted links to two of Scott's builds above. That blue FJ45 build of his was absolutely beautiful. I know that he did the install on that one and I believe Proffits did the install on his previous one. Spec wise the 3.3 doesn't seem that far off the low end of the 3.0 Navistar motor in...

    New 3.6L Pentastar User's Report?

    Oh come on... now even the Dodge Journey has the 3.6! That literally makes every vehicle that had a v6 in some form before has received the pentastar except the wrangler. Dodge Journey

    New 3.6L Pentastar User's Report?

    John, If anybody at a dealership would have an idea it would be Jason. He is actively involved in the Jeep community with a great reputation and works for a high volume dealership. His information has always checked out to my knowledge. Jason, Sort of sad to hear this news... was hoping Jeep...

    J8 Expedition Project:

    Last I heard was sometime January for availability. Early pricing was in the 4k range if I remember correctly, but not sure where it is at now.

    It's done! 3.0-liter turbo-diesel FJ60 from TLC

    Andre, The 3.3 is the one I am most interested in as well... parts and availability everywhere, relatively affordable although going up in price as demand increases. Certainly lighter and smaller than the more ubiquitous 4bt/3.9 swaps. Are you aware of anybody who has put a 3.3 in a 60? I...

    It's done! 3.0-liter turbo-diesel FJ60 from TLC

    Thanks for the update... I was a bit sad that this didn't take off more. I know many of us were excited at the thought of this "kit" seeing production in volume. The elusive dream of a 30mpg expedition platform available domestically is still out there, lol. I know that Proffits and Eco...

    2011 Jeeps get new diesels -- in Europe

    Yes, all Jeep Wranglers excluding the J8 are built in Toledo Ohio either for domestic consumption or for export. Like you, this really pisses me off. We are manufacturing the damn things here, the latest 2.8 meets EuroV and when the original 2.8 was offered several years ago in the Liberty Jeep...

    It's done! 3.0-liter turbo-diesel FJ60 from TLC

    Sorry to resurect a dead thread, but whatever happened with TLC swap kit. Did TLC decide this wasn't worth their time and it ended up being a one off or are they still working on it? Any ideas?

    New 3.6L Pentastar User's Report?

    A little hard to quantify consider so much is based on gearing and what scenario the motor is tuned for ie mileage or torque or horsepower/revs.

    HPA VW TDI Swap Kit Now Available for YJ

    Odd, I just tested the link again from a fresh work laptop. Are you behind a proxy or something that could be blocking content?

    J8 Expedition Project:

    Looking awesome guys... can't wait to see pics of the J8 and JK Habitat fully kitted out at Sema! I notice bare glass in some of those pics. Are the insides of the habitat going to be unfinished glass or are you going to spray a thin layer of gelcoat for a finished look? Clearly unfinished...

    New Diesel Swap

    I didn't respond to sound like an ***... sorry about that. I actually posted and asked a moderator to merge the threads, but that part didn't take and I didn't go back in and check. Oops.

    The J8 thread....

    I was curious about that and going to ask Dave. Thanks for the update. Has anyone ever discussed financing and how/if that is on the table at all?

    Hasn't this thing spent most of its very short life in the SW and California? Why all the rust?

    HPA VW TDI Swap Kit Now Available for YJ

    From what I read on another site... VW's auto transmissions are a real bugger to get working right in a non VW car. Sounds like they have a system bus sort of like CAN Bus and it causes real issues with integration? A love the thought of this project if you could source a TDI motor at...

    HPA VW TDI Swap Kit Now Available for YJ

    Yeah, I love the idea too... my biggest issue is cost. A newer TDI motor is NOT going to be cheap and while they mention the immobilizer bypass, no other talk about integrating into the electronics on the Jeep, although with the YJ, I can't imagine it being that bad. I know they are debuting at...
