Ever stop to think he couldn't wheel it during the build? this video was probly taken right after he was done. its also possible to wash a jeep... douche bag

Clearly, if the jeep was really wheeled, the mufflers would be ripped right off.

My mufflers double as my sliders 0_o

@originaldriver i did not know that! learn somting new every day!

@fitbmxseries1 The jeep wranglers used GM built Iron Duke 4-bangers and some of the Jeep cherokees came with GM built 2.8l v6.

Proof of this is still evident in the fact that the Jeep WY wrangler 2.4l retains the GM designed 60 degree v6 bellhousing patteren. Its the reason that GM 3800 and 3400 swaps are so popular in older 95 WJ wranglers and some cherokees.

Did you know that the moderen 3.7l mopar v6 even still uses the same crank/rod bearings as a GM 60 degree 3.4 and 2.8l?

@originaldriver when did mopar do that? i know that AMC did some gm v6s.

Interesting....I own a 2006 Rubicon and it has factory axles and diff's with air lockers, which are Dana 44's and 4.11 gears with a Rock-Trac transfer case. I was not aware a 4:10 gear set was offered for Rubicons. Do like the V8 though.
