2007 Sahara with 5.3 LS swap ,Alabama
She started life as a highway warrior and racked up 219K victories. She never had the pleasure of seeing any offroad adventures so we decided to rescue her and give her new life.
We pulled the body and found she was clean and well cared for but with 219K miles on the 3.8 she was tired. We removed the old powertrain and installed some much needed power. A low mileage 2013 GM LS 5.3 with matching 6speed automatic went in using a RpmExtreme LS conversion kit. A RpmExtreme high flow aluminum LS radiator keeps her cool and a 2.5" MBRP exhaust lets everyone know she is ready for business. We decided to keep her low and sleek. She rides on stock 2014 rubicon suspension and 35" goodyear duratracs. We added a 10A Rubicon hood, fender flares, Rubi rails and an aluminum Savvy front bumper to keep the weight down. She was a nicely equipped Sahara and has hardtop, power windows-locks, premium sound and cruise control. We also upgraded the interior with black 2014 rubicon seats and tinted the windows. A set of LED headlights light the way
She is one of the best driving LS conversions we have done and is a real pleasure to drive, very quiet and smooth and would make someone a great Jeep.
Specs:
2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara
GM LS V8 5.3l 335HP
GM 6 speed automatic (6L80E) with TAP shift and Tow haul mode
35" Goodyear Duratrac tires
4.10 gear ratio
Savvy Aluminum front bumper
Xenon painted fenders
Rubicon side rails, seats and suspension
MBRP exhaust 2.5" with high flow cats
0-60 pretty quick
fuel mileage 16-20
PRICE $36,500
