A naturally aspirated V8 that runs on regular gas paired with a manual trans. 5.7, LT1, Coyote, i don't really care. Hell you can drop a Tau 5.0 in there if it fits.
This, but I'm also good with a 392. Good to be flexible.

Never heard of that. Looking it up now though.

Edit: looked up that and magnum underdrives. Cool stuff. I can’t image it would be easy to adapt to modern vehicles, but I’m no expert.
For a while, you could get a KluneV that replaced the factory adapter between the auto transmission and Rubi transfer case. Use the 2.7 Klune and have a 4spd case with no driveline modification on the TJ/LJ Rubicons.
Would be pretty sweet if they could come up with something like that for us current Rubi owners. I'd love a 2.0 low range to go with my 4.0, I'd probably never use the combined 8.0 with my Diesel and auto setup. But one can dream.

A DiamondBack bed cover.

I was headed home from a trip in Aug., planning on ordering one, when I hit a deer.
My JT's been in the shop since Aug. 23rd, I should get it back next week.

I'd really like an auxiliary gas tank but I don't travel far enough, often enough, to need one. A DiamondBack cover will get used.

A full integrated under-bed high capacity diesel tank would be great.

Never thought finding diesel in small town America would be so difficult sometimes, all the local guys must just be filling up their OBS F350s from their AG tanks at home

Apart from Add-ons I would like to have seen the Diesel Engine further more refined and not to be discontinued.

For me, this is the ideal powerplant for such kind of vehicle but unfortunately not supported by the politics ...
