I think the kit alone is about $25k. It is an involved job. The whole cab comes off to remove the old engine and trans and to cut out the existing motor mounts and weld new into the frame. There is an adapter that gets installed on the new trans to mate to the stock transfer case. An AMW...
Single pipe from around under the seat to the driver side rear. It is a 3-1/2 “ pipe. Very throaty. There is room to add a cutout if you wanted but I doubt you would. If anything you may want to make it quieter.
My AMW swap is dead reliable, has been serviced at the dealer, and does everything you should expect it to. If you are in Mass you could send it to AMW in Michigan and have it done there. I do not know if they have any certified installers near you. They can add a lift or anything else you...
I have an Americas Most Wanted Hemi swapped Gladiator. It is fantastic. OEM quality. Everything functions just like it did with the 3.6 except for lots more power.Like the previous poster noted the annoying auto start/stop is disabled by design. It uses the same transmission as the 3/4 ton...
The Hemi Wrangler uses a different transmission then the 6 cylinder Wrangler so you need to take that into consideration. I run 35's with 4:10s on my 6.4 swapped Gladiator (has the trans used in the 3/4 ton trucks). I would prefer 3:73's. Next set of tires will be 37's and I expect it would...
I had a few experiences with Death Wobble on my JT. It happened richt arounr 40mph just like the DW I experienced on my old TJ and JK. My JT has a Mopar 2" lift,Jeep beadlocks, and 35" BFG KO2s. I could always tell when the DW was coming on and adjusted my speed or steering angle to avoid it...
I bought my first diesel pickup in 1997 and have owned a 2000, 2006, 2012, 2017 and 2018 Ford F250/F350's, all diesel. I also have owned a 2000 GMC 3500 8.1 gas, 2000 and 2008 GMC 2500 6.0 gas. The diesels tow better by far and have been dead reliable for me . Not one engine or trans related...
$2500 for engine and trans. You will have some other parts to sell as people start wrecking their gladiators and JL's. Electric Power Steering pump, radiator and fans, overflow tanks, washer fluid tank (pump gets reused), air filter box and intake.
The AMP steps have a big surface area and they are quieter than the Rockslides. I have a set on my JK that are awesome. I will be buying a set of rockslides for gladiator because they actually offer protection from rocks unlike the AMP which will not take much abuse. Either option is not...
I have a AMW swap on my Gladiator. The kit is first rate and their customer service before and after the deal is also first rate. I believe that Rubitrux is using the AMW kit for their swaps. I have the 6.4 swap which also comes with a new trans, radiator, motor mounts, exhaust and just about...
Americas Most Wanted 4x4 makes a VERY COMPLETE high quality kit and they have great customer service. It is not what you would call cheap but it is factory quality and the engine and trans comes with a 3yr 36k warranty from FCA. They are located in Holly Michigan but have relationships with a...
The jeep tops are not made of fiberglass. They are made of a material called SMC. Polyester resin will not bond properly with SMC so make sure you buy a product that is compatible. I made a top for my JK8 by cutting up a couple JK tops and sectioned them together. Make sure the body shop that...
