I am not judging...ok, I am...

I was just trolling Craigslist, minding my own business, looking for some Gladiator take-offs, and stumbled on this. Sure, you can account for the money in it...but wow.

In my opinion, this is crazy...

All that money is tied up in the Bruiser V8 swap and wheels/tires/rack.

VERY common.

Personally... ain't worth it. And I'm sure no warranty

I thought you needed a new transmission when getting a new engine like a Hellcat swap? Always see takeoff engine/transmission combos being sold, sometimes with axles

No doubt. If I was going to go that route there are some other trucks I might start with

That seems pretty reasonable. $50k on the Jeep, $20k on the engine swap, $15k for suspension/wheels/tires, $12k on cosmetics and roughly 10% markup. And most importantly it doesnt have all of the ugly body armor crap that normally comes on the SoFlo Jeeps (no offense just not my thing). This thing actually has some substance and style...if I had that kind of disposable income I dont think I could have spent it much better.

I'm no fan of how flashy that is but that's not a bad price at all. The engine swap is easily worth $25k and those axles are almost another $20k

I would however question the long term reliability of that trans with that engine.

6.2 LS swap, built 850RE, only 5K miles, REAL upgrades and mods, and still $18,000 cheaper than that other dude was asking for a stock JTR-LE with bolt-ons.

I'd MUCH rather spend $102K on this, than $120K on a stock drivetrain bolt-on JTR-LE.

I'd bet money it's a built 850RE transmission. I highly doubt one built that nice would have been cheap-ass enough to try to put a stock transmission behind a 500+ HP 6.2 LS motor.

6.2 LS and 6.4 Hemi swaps will run you between $25K-$35K with all appropriate upgrades (built 850RE trans, labor, etc...)

It’s a big number, but between the axles, suspension, and V8, this seems like a decent deal.

 

[Caraholic]

Too bad it’s god awful ugly as....
I don’t have words for this without being crass lol

 

[Loosescrews]

Those Corvette fuel rail covers....gawd awful. That trend went away in early 2000.

 

[Moonshineheadache]

Judge away...this one takes the prize!
