No Jeep wave in Kali???

I was thinking about the differences between a 5.7 and a 6.4 hemi swap. I have heard it said that the 6.4 is just a larger 5.7, and the added cost of the 6.4 is not justified. Well, a lot of that is subjective, but based on the facts alone, there are some substantial differences. Obviously...

Broncos...They speak to modern-day thinking. Sort of like washing your feet with your socks on. These days, everything is about looks. Off-road vehicles with independent suspension, men getting manicures, and the like, but do not really deliver. This Bronco, no matter how big you make those ugly...

Mil Spec has some applicability in the tactical environment, but much of it is unnecessary. Example: Mil aircraft are protected against a certain amount of EMP, the sort that pulses with a nuclear detonation. In my "back in the day" Chinook, you'd be fine. Find yourself at the flight levels in...

Producing a military version of both the 3.0 and the transmission would not be an issue. Those changes could be made with a phone call. With the money from sales, replacements, and spare parts, tweaking the supply chain would be well worth the effort. And I might point out that GM is also...

Isn't it built by license in the US?

And I apologize to all for side-tracking my own thread, but with all this waiting around, I don't have anything constructive to post :-(

No, not yet, but I'll check it out. In the meantime, get your butt back up here, and you can show me yourself.

The decision is definitely driven by politics, as I mentioned in my earlier post. But I am gritting my teeth knowing we could have done better for our boyz in uniform!

True with respect to some things, I suppose, but in my experience, it has more to do with the senator who is willing to push hardest to get the thing done in his state. That is why when we do something complicated such as a new jet, the engines are built in Ohio, the fuselage in California, the...

Been there! Did you visit the spot where a river flows out of the rock wall, then back into it a short distance later? Near McKee, KY I had a JK as well. I DID NOT like it!

I see that the US Armee is buying a crap ton of modified Colorados to use as light infantry vehicles. The modified Colorado features almost no body panels, all the ZR2 gear, stock axles, and a hefty roll cage. Where was Jeep during this testing? In my view, a beefed-up Gladiator with a diesel...

I purchased my AEV in Lawrenceburg! Yes to both. The Daniel Boone National Forest is covered in trails. We visit one near McKee, KY. We have also been on parts of the KAT. That thing is now over 1000 miles, I believe. I want to take that guided 3-day run out of Tennessee, well up into Kentucky...

Latest update: No update :-( Still stored in the warehouse in queue.

Slow hand salute to all our fallen warriors.

That plastic pipe on your fender does a good job keeping branches away! But, I'm already pinstriped, so... ;-)

I have built several snorkels in the past. One for a Tundra, one for a W250 Dodge, actually two for the Tundra. I'm not going to do that for the Gladiator. It is such a good-looking vehicle, and unlike anything I have ever owned before. Jeeps get crazy aftermarket support. I think you suggested...

That pup has Mountain Dog in it? Where? That would be an interesting pairing. The poodle (and doodle) is high-strung, like a self-powered rubber ball. Bernese Mountain Dogs go from one sleeping spot to another. My male BMD is from Poland. He is as pure an example as can be to his lineage. We...

I got a response from AEV. Some time ago, I read that they offered a snorkel for the hemi-swapped jeep. Their response closed the door on that possibility. It seems they do not offer anything that might work. ARB has snorkels, but they do not flow enough air to feed 6.4 hungry liters...

I might have to delete this, but here goes- You folks are in a bad spot. Seems the only options are 1. learn to deal with it, or 2. Move. If you select option 2, you'll likely lose your posterior in a declining real estate market, then have all those relocation costs. If you decide on the second...
