    This time for sure: 2012 Wrangler gets Pentastar V6, 5 speed auto

    Screw this I'll just stroke my 4.0 and bump up the compression then be hanging with the Hemi in the 350lb ft range lol. Actually after looking at those graphs the 3.8 suprisingly makes torque soon. Though some simple mods on the detuned 4.0 would crap on the 3.8s torque curve. Also I would have...

    1974 FSJ Expo Rig... Is it possible?

    Sounds like you've tinkered with everything so should be reliable and fixable. Hows the 12 bolt rear? Not familair enough with them. Also do you plan to be wheelin it when your away, I know I would.

    This time for sure: 2012 Wrangler gets Pentastar V6, 5 speed auto

    Not much, Catless exaust, Cowl induction cold air intake, (52-60mm) Bored throttle body, Advanced timing Cps. Jp dynoed a 4.0 to test certain power gains and just exaust and free flowing intake was like 10-15hp each which is alot for what real world conservative numbers are like. I plan to do...

    1974 FSJ Expo Rig... Is it possible?

    Cool fsj. My friend has an 81 cherokee 360 stuffin 33x12.50s on no lift. Hell a fsj would be my first choice to build into any type of rig. Say swap in a chevy 5.3 with a 4 speed auto and your getting better mpg than a Jk while smokin it too. Also screw the bed platform. I'm 6 3" and can lay...

    This time for sure: 2012 Wrangler gets Pentastar V6, 5 speed auto

    Well my 87 xj is making about 260lb ft torque with the 4.0 tractor motor, .75:1 Od locking Aw4 and 22mpg stock so I still don't see an improvement over 25 years. That reminds me how we have failed to produce a car after 30 years that is more efficient than the rigs developed in the 80s. Have...

    Just...AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Those renderings make me feel claustraphobic and I usually like sleeping in contained areas. Honestly I don't see the point in this thing. If your going to carry the extra weight and go through the hassle of taking this thing on and off you can get much more out of a popup with less expense and...

    Is '88 a good year for Cherokees?

    Actually after working a good bit of other people's junk I've relized the xj is one of the easiest rigs to work on. V8s and v6s cause lots of space issues compared to an inline. I think thats the #1 reason I like Cummins cause V8 diesels are a *****. I've relized the xj is actually extremely...

    Is '88 a good year for Cherokees?

    Finnaly got a good picture of mine. Still replacing the overflow bottle on the right and gotta do some more wiringon the same side but big difference from stock. The only thing missing is cruise control which is going back in. AC and all is there

    Is '88 a good year for Cherokees?

    I have an 87 with an 88 motor and trans on 31s with stock gears and it is a torque monster with a intake, exaust and renix style tune lol. The engine bay is a bit of a rats nest but after some rewiring and elimination of a bunch of unessecary vacuum lines and emmisions stuff it's clean, simple...

    jk fires

    That is a very good fact. For some reason alot of people for what unknown reason don't bother with low range. I wheeled with one kid a month ago who burnt up his brand new clutch in his tj cause he had it in 4hi, stock gears, going up a long hill. The best people to wheel with are the ones who...
