JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

i would make the time, but the money is an issue. How much are we talking? everybody says they can't afford and I proably can't either, but I don't know what it would cost. I would probably just want a 5.7 also my brother has an srt8 300 and it scary fast. I know that it would be dangerous in a jk. especiallyf for somebody like me who likes to drive too fast.

For the 5.7, the AEV kit with Hemi and tranny are about $10,000 combined. If you do it yourself that is is, but if someone else does it for you it is aroung $18,500 with labor.

If you ever open a branch in the Northwest, keep me in mind
AEV is in Missoula MT only 8 hours from ya.

Is there a 6sp manual available for these beasts yet? I know they're (or they will) starting to make them for the hemi cars. Will those be able to hook right up to a transfer case and go? Or will you need something heavier duty for the off road
