Acceleration is VERY important for Wrangler Buyers obviously!!! DUH!!!

[dinanm3atl]

How 'bout a 6.1L Hemi Wrangler?

Nope... you can kill that Hemi I guarantee it... can't kill the old Straight 6 :)

crash tests are not complimentary. The v6 even mated to the 6psd is a dog, I can only imagine how the automatic would behave. At 60mph, I had to shift down to 4th to be able to accelerate. I hate to floor it in order to gain speed.

Really? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave it 5 out 5 stars for frontal impact for both driver's side and passenger side.

Also gave it 4 out of 5 stars for roll over resistance and passed the dynamic test without tipping.


Anyway, people don't buy wranglers for speed, don't know why you keep
mentioning it? Btw, e30's and toyota echo's are not exactly quick either;)

Oh and another interesting thing is the echo seems to be more of a
"death" trap than a wrangler.

It got only 4 out 5 stars for the same criteria and got 4 out of 5 stars for
rollover.

It's common sense, what vehicle would you rather be in when a
huge SUV barrels into you because a soccor mom was talking on her cell phone?

The old inline had less hp, but it had much better low-end torque, and the vehicle was much smaller

The install was pretty simple, mainly all new control arms and springs, along with track bar mods. The alignment was a bit different as far as specs go. Normally they want around 7' of caster, the new JK's want about 5'. There are knockouts on the front diff brackets so you can get caster back in spec. Need any help, let me know. I do these things for a livin'.

pm'd you.

Just did a 6" lift on one of these last month. It came straight from the dealer, almost no miles. And it was a Rubicon too. Friggin 2-piece front sway bar for the electronic disconnect. Actually a nice ride once I was done with it.

6" lift huh? Thing must have been up there, the Jeep I posted was only a 4" lift, I'm going with mild 2"-3" most likely. How was the install?

[jbsjunk]

Heard about a dealership that is swapping those in someplace out west. Me likey.

And it is a turd :)

Nothing beats a 4.0L Wrangler :)

I hate the Fj cruiser, it's butt ugly and downright goofy looking.

Land Rover Defender is way different than other LR models. it has much more less electronics than other LR models such as discovery, LR2, or range rover

[german g]

I would never buy a used rover, the electronics on those things are a nightmare.....If it wasnt for that issue, i would already own one.
