    Hemi Conversion questions

    I didn't even ask about labor, since I checked like 4+ sources and they all seem to quote conversion prices EXCLUDING labor.

    Hemi Conversion questions

    I don't need 700 hp - I was just merely looking at the costs. My truck isn't my daily driver, so too much HP isn't my concern- cost is my concern. I got my doors blown off by a Ford Raptor a few weeks ago. I wasn't trying to race him, but it wasn't a race. I would love to surprize him and blow...

    Hemi Conversion questions

    I get it, there's a "cost" for their expertise, but like $30K? You didn't see that in my OP I said excluding labor. The $55K is excluding labor.

    Hemi Conversion questions

    Im just curious why so expensive to do an engine conversion? I'm just talking about the engine swap, not any extras like suspension, lift, brakes, etc because those choices can vary wildly in price. When I was just "looking" around a typical shop charges around $55,000 for the 6.2L SC Hemi...

    new '23 JT upgrades

    The new KMC 549 wheels look awesome! - they look just like the KMC Grenade, but they arent real beadlocks. Was hoping to see the machined wheel with black (fake) beadlock in black on some Gladiators soon!! I'm not sure I'm sold on the machined part of the wheel. On the grenade, I like the...

    How Much front bumper weight is significant?

    Just to clarify, alot of reading I've been doing to learn, never had a Jeep before. Unfortunately the internet is mostly my source of info. Alot of reading I've done people keep saying like 8lbs less per wheels "rolling mass" is a significant difference. (not my opinion, I do not know) I...

    How Much front bumper weight is significant?

    I'm not sure I am overthinking it - since you really didn't explain anything. the reason I asked is because tire/wheel combo weights seem to matter alot, like changing the combo and saving 8lbs per wheel. (whatever the weight) I'm just wondering if same applies to front bumper weight.

    If you had a "do-over"

    If I had to do it over, I'd probably get a Gladiator with the diesel. Banks also makes some nice upgrades for this engine to have more power for more weight and big tires. ALL the other options, typically engine wise the price goes up significantly

    How Much front bumper weight is significant?

    I currently have a stubby bumper that weighs about 86lbs. Was looking at changing to an EVO 1/4 pounder (thanks Wayalife!!) and according to EVO, the steel bumper is 70lbs and the aluminum one is 40lbs. The aluminum is only $287, but really how much difference can the 30lbs make? I realize more...

    ANY Experience With Bodyguard?

    A competitor could just buy one and get all the info they needed. I know the front "fangs" (whatever people call them) will need to be cutoff If I choose this bumper, but I'm just trying to see if my winch would fit. I just cannot buy a $1K bumper and find out later it doesn't fit properly than...

    ANY Experience With Bodyguard?

    I recently had a strange experience with this company, seems like they are very secretive and I'm baffled why. I have a Gladiator. I was looking for a new stubby bumper and came across a Bodyguard Base Rx stubby front bumper I kinda liked. Their website says it "Fits Warn Zeon & Warn EVO...

    Gladiator Motobilt inner fender liners install - looks great

    I did the install last weekend on my Mojave. I did the Quake LED lights in the front and inner fender liner. The fender liners weren't cut exactly for a Mojave (their website mentioned fits all JT's) Anyway, I purchased some tools needed and started the install. I had to do some cutting with...

    Low lift / big tires

    My Mojave is running a 2" AEV lift and 38 Nitto Ridge Grapplers, NO rubbing anywhere. I also have the fender delete kit (removed plastic inner fender liners and replaced with aluminum ones) and Quake LEDs. I have been offroad with no issues, but Im not doing serious rock crawling either. Runs...
