Mojave, rubicon, and max tow have always had 4.10s in every JT.

Technically no it doesn't. Only the max tow sports are actually rated at 7700lbs. Being that Jeeps own site and dealers are confused more than half the time, and the door stickers don't give a towing capacity or GCWR, nobody would ever question it in the slightest. The reality of the laws and...

All JT control arms are the same so they aren't an upgrade for anyone. The Mopar extended length arms have better bushings and add caster for better handling... and they are $60 new if you shop around. Good luck with the sale, mine went in the trash.

A. If you aren't towing commercial or so grossly overloaded (think 10k lbs+) as to raise suspicion visibly, nobody is ever weighing your rig. B. Even if they did, they aren't wading through Jeeps messed up site or doing a VIN specific look up. They look at the hitch rating and at most the...

Having just noticed the grumper clad abomination the OP chose for the background I change my advice, clearly not mature enough for a Jeep🤣

More than the power sliding, I'd like the thing not to have glass under the sliding portion. If I need to pick up a couple of long trim boards or pipes in pretty much any other truck, I'll just slide them through the back window eliminating the need for strapping and most of the stick out...

They still are. The Nissan versa was the cheapest new vehicle on the market at $24k last I looked. You can get a brand new base JL for $30k. Nothing is truly cheap, but the JL is a much better value than the Nissan from my perspective. My son got the wife's Mazda 6 and she got a new JLUR, but...

What better way to teach them to DRIVE? Give your kid some modern, self driving, self braking car and they'll still be terrible drivers at 40. Teach them in something that forces them to pay attention and they will learn to pay attention. Give them another touch screen with wheels and they'll...

Pretty much every holiday weekend we turn into 5 days minimum to get out there. Thanksgiving and memorial day we took the whole week so we had 10 days at a time. July 2nd through the 6th is the next trip, then labor day weekend. Roughly 8-9 trips per year. Still need to finish trim and paint in...

Our AZ property is 600 miles away. The distance is the most challenging part of the cabin build. The 5 days we spent framing, siding, doors, windows, and getting the roof on with just the wife and I were brutal, but we had no choice but to get it weather tight. Sun up to sun down for 5...

Tell that to amw, bruiser, and all the guys who've literally bolted wrecked JL 392 powertrains into their JTs. The testing and certification hasn't been done, but you can literally go to the parts catalog and order every part you need and then bolt in. Our frame isn't different in the front...

Then the work is already done in the Gladiator too? The pickup bed means new classification which requires the crash testing and tow certifications and epa testing etc wether it's a JT frame or a JL or something new (most likely). From the cross member forward they are all the same. It is...

I think nostalgia may play a part, although I concede that too many JL/JT owners have had cam issues. Our modern Jeeps have been 100% reliable. Conversely the 4.0L had its fair share of issues. From cracked exhaust manifolds to cracked heads to the crank shaft position sensor failure. The...

Mine gets spun up to 6k rpms regularly. I'd argue that they all should. If the engine makes peak power at ~6200rpms it sure seems designed for it to me. On the dyno runs I've seen, the thing doesn't hit 150hp to the wheels until ~3800rpm. If you meander around before that all the time, I'd bet...

Not all off roading is rock crawling or meandering down forest roads. Deep mud requires wheel speed and so does deep snow, which is where hp wins. And then there are those of us that do freeway plus speeds in the desert. Not to mention, even living out west every wheeling destination is a...

Click bait videos about engines that aren't ever coming... like the entire topic of this thread?

Is it marketing genius or is the JT the only truck on the market you can confidently run the Rubicon in and it's only major flaw both on road and off(not so much crawling, but bombing around in the desert or deep snow wheeling) is the low torque v6? Even if you bought a brand new JT for $60k...

Of course if you price any loaded, v8 powered, 4x4, new truck from the factory you're looking at nearly $100k and you're stuck with a full size. Exactly why even the wife is on board with the 6.4L swap when the 3.6L dies, it's cheaper than a new JT and half the price of a new v8 truck.

If you add a 0 on the end. You can easily find unmodified LJs with well under 100k miles for $15-20k. 190hp, terrible suspension compared to the JL, weak axles by comparison. Literally in no way better than a new JL. If you'd spend $100k on one I'm guessing you're to foolish to ever have $100k...

Clearly you've never priced a hellcat engine. The forged internals, supercharger, and intercooler aren't free or cheap. Adding to the cost, AMW ads a huge cooling system to their forced induction systems including a huge reservoir where the spare tire goes (adding a bed mounted spare tire rack...
