1. I think it will be worth waiting for
2. You'll be waiting a long time (same as me)
This swap is taking forever! I'm patient, and the price is extremely, very, awesomely, and unbelievably good. But can I get this thing done and my Jeep back already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I watched him follow Shaun (TSTN) with that pig. It was a joke off-road. Dirt road, sure, but on obstacles...laughable! The first obstacle, a steep incline the Raper shed a mud flap(speled korrektly cause that's what it does to yer pocketbook!). Probably why we don't have those gaudy things...
I owned a 94 F250 7.3 PS XL 5-speed stick. I would still have it but my training wife sold it without my knowing while I was away training...!
7.3 powerjoke is (to me) second to the earlier Cummins 6BT with everything else being a distant third/forth/fifth
You should do what you want to do. Your posting suggests you want to be talked out of the decision to leave the JT.
OK, first of all, we don't love, nor should we love, material things. We are more than stuff.
Having said that, keep the gladiator. This looks like a "Grass is greener on the other...
I have a long-running build thread of my 2022 AEV JTR JT370 here:
I started down the path of a 392 swap some months ago, but that thread turned into a discussion forum where everyone discussed just about everything. I know that is typical of threads...sort of public where folks just want to...
Well, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away I was a young US Armee tanker. I had detailed knowledge of the tank trails on Fort Knox. I'd scout them weekdays (your tax dollars at work), then drive them along with some other retarded tankers in our CJ-7s. So do you know how tall it is from the...
It won't run underwater, for sure, but handles something like 15 gal/min.So when you first push into a deeper crossing and initially generate that bow wave, it normally only comes over the hood for a couple seconds, then you adjust speed. I was pushing a head of water in New Mexico, but that was...
Kind of a small market at the moment
But
Should Stellantis make some good decisions and come out with a 2027/2028 Hemi Gladdy, then, I'd say there would be fertile fields to plow.
I know all that; heck, I own a 392 air intake system, and yes, no one makes anything that will mate up. I even called AEV, and they couldn't help! What I was left with was trying to create an adapter to get from a diesel snorkel to the 392 air box. I could do that, and it wouldn't be all that...
I was told the 5.7 engines were increasing in price to a greater extent than the 6.4. Aside from cost, to call these motors nearly identical is just wrong. The 6.4 is a much, much better engine. I posted all the differences I found in my research in my first 6.4 Hemi swap thread; check it out.
I...
There is actually another alternative on the horizon, a new swap coming from a shop that does all the Stellantis conversion stuff and used to do a ton of AMW swaps. My JT is the first production swap and it is underway. This new swap is even more factory than AMW (And btw, I am not hating on...
Thing is, there aren't any snorkel systems I can find for the 392 JT, so the hydro guide is the next best option.
Thinking about it more, the stock 392 Wrangler has a 2" lift and a 35" tire. I use a 4ish" lift and a 40" tire.
The stock 392 Wrangler can handle a max of 30" water depth. (Man...
I'll be switching to a new thread PDQ as we are starting on the JT Hemi swap.
Before I depart this thread, which I will leave open, I wanted to talk a bit more about the company, HighLiftOffRoad, which is doing the swap.

This is a "lead the fleet" organization that...
I need to correct something I said in an earlier post commenting on the AMW hydraulic steering. I mentioned that the PS pumps were all done at 20K miles, and you could read about that in many places.
I checked my statement when ITDodge questioned the comment. I was told by two separate mechanics...
Fair request.
I have read it once or three times in various posts. I read literally everything I can pertaining to these swaps, so pointing to exactly where I saw any mention is impossible. Feel free to discount my statement pointing to threads as proof. My installer actually has an ex-AMW...
