Blow out the fenders and lose the hood? Might add a tad to your horsepower curve too.
lol, a tad? I lost 105 Hp when I traded my Ram for the Jeep, and sometimes I miss that raw power. The benefit of the Jeep is its averaging 5 MPG better than the truck did even with all terrain tires and 4 wheel drive. I think that balances it out.

Where there's a will, there's a way... ;)
Well there's already a few JLs with LS engines, but that conversion doesn't fit in to practical for me at all lol.

heh, well honestly I never really thought I'd be owning a Wrangler until the JL came out, and I just had to have one. I think you might be in the same boat.
Same here...I was going to drive my WJ into the ground.

I truly do looooove me that rocket! I'm just hoping I get to keep it. No clue how all my toys are going to affect the Medicaid stuff. Just have to wait and see.

yep, I was in the process of driving my Ram into the dirt. She had a wonderful engine, but I didn't feel the same way about the transmission, as it was from before the ZF days.

Now to hit a little on the truck talk, If I could only find a way to practially fit the 5.7 Hemi in my wrangler, I would be a happy man.

They've done it before with the 6.4L...and recently an LS3. It's just a matter of money methinks :devil:

That's what I really love. I can totally burn the tires off but still get 25mpg if I try. Oh ya
That's the thing about Corvettes, massive motors that were still remarkably good on gas for what they were.
