Tell Us Your Best MJ Story From stock to now, I've always smiled running through the gears in this truck. Also stacking deck boards to get it on the trailer and realizing it might be a bit too low CC is Awesome!... Why Do You Think So? everyone getting creative and doing their own thing with the same model Congrats! I can't wait to see it finished @Awinski!

For the price I can get a used LS, yes.

At that point, it would be cheaper to go with an LS and wouldn't be much of a learning experience, as I have completed engine swaps in the past.

I was told it would make a 4.6. I'll post what it entails when I know more.

I will as soon as I see him again and get more info!

What are the details?

Thank you. I will factor that stuff in.

Thanks. I’ll check on that.

The bed lined exterior does not look the best, IMHO.

Ohhhhhh

I think we should get a gun subforum...

Thanks everyone for the input so far!

Have any of you thought it would be really cool to put a 4.0 in a JK/JL/JT? I think it would be cool, but a lot of work for minimal, if any, gain. Just seeing people’s faces after they saw it was 4.0 swapped would be funny.

Have you read through @Minuit‘s writeup regarding flares?

Pardon the atrocious photo, but she came out of hibernation last night!

Interesting. Good info. Thanks.

You have a good wall hanger now, but that sucks.

I feel confident in dealing with the issues.

I’ve seen the postal Jeep thread. You have quite the fleet. I’m jealous.

I wouldn’t waste my time. I would go with a Ford 8.8. Or a D44 if you can find one.

I feel confident in being able to do it. Thank you for your input.

Do a vinyl wrap/sticker that matches your rear plate.

I have a choice. A friend of mine has a new Stroker kit he would sell me cheap, or I can buy a new stock crank for my MJ, or find a different motor completely (I would most likely buy another Jeep with a good motor). What are your thoughts on this?

With modifications I’m sure.

Time for a new build thread. Also, what other Jeeps do you have?
