    Jku Engine Swap options

    My brother has a 2014 with the 3.6 and a turbo and I have to say its pretty impressive. I don't like turbo lag, but once that is over its a beast for sure. Gets good gas millage too, of course compared to my 6.2 that's not a surprise.

    Jku Engine Swap options

    I did the swap from Motech about 2 years ago. I went with a junk yard L99 (auto version of the LS3) and a 6L80. I am very happy with the jeep but still feel that 4:88's are in my future. Power is not a problem, but the transmission is still not always happy when going up hills. Once it...

    Looking for seat recommendations

    So its an 08 with 175k miles on it. I wanted a to buy a high mile jeep (lower purchase price) with the plan to do the LS swap. I am a fan of power. The 3.6 is ok, but I would not be happy for long so V8 it is. This 3.8 runs strong and does not leak a drop, but it will be gone soon. I plant...
