You nailed it!
I'm quite happy w/ the 3.6 and 5.38s on 40s as well. Would I love a Hemi, or an LS, sure. The cost far outweighs the gain...in my pocketbook anyway. But mine isn't a business write-off either ![]() ![]()

![]() Same here. But if I find a way to keep it then I will, but for now the plan is to sell it to make room, and build the JKU. ![]() |

Nope, serious. Dead serious. I talked to a lot of people about it when I was considering this one. Yes, it's OK. Is it a V8, no...was it an added $30k upgrade, NO!
Has no problem getting up to 80, doesn't downshift like mad like the old 3.8 stock, much less lifted. I'm pretty impressed, and NEVER would've kept it, much less driven it home, if it wasn't satisfactory. Come drive it, I think you'd be surprised. I certainly was.

That said, it sounds like Dodge is bringing the Dakota back on the Wrangler pickup platform, if they stick a V8 in it again like they did the last one it would be hard to turn away! |

$30k? wtf are you swapping in?!?!
for $30k ... drop off your jeep with me, i'll take vacation, drop in a blown v8 with built trans/t-case, and make enough profit to still take your a$s out for a baller steak dinner and not worry if you order dessert ![]() |

![]() ![]() Yep, I have a local shop that could do it, even a guy out west that is a SEMA genius, for $20-25...but that's just it, reliable Hemi, fully engineered and integrated to work properly...I'm not going to do some sort of backyard garage hack on a vehicle of this nature. Have you never researched a V8 swap? Hell, an LS isn't much cheaper.

Yep, so there is that $20k mark...still out of reasonable consideration when it comes down to budget. Fun, hell yes...realistic on my salary, nope. I'm lucky I have what I have

![]() Honestly, I'd love a V8, but I am pretty happy w/ the way it runs and drives w/ a 3.6. My buddy w/ a 6.4 in his JK even says it has some pep for a 6.
