Awesome build. Why does Jeep make us do this ourselves? Wish they'd roll a V8 Hemi JKU off the production floor!

My build is a 08 JKU 3.5 Rock Crawler with 5.7 Truck Hemi, 545RFE Auto. Build was completed under $12K with a 2013 trunk motor 11K miles and 2010 trans 40k miles. More of the details will be in the published build sheets with all the parts needed, and placed to get some of the best pricing. Total time to build was 3 months but could have been done in 30 days start to finish if we had all the info we have now. Actual wrench time was 2 weeks on nights and weekends .<img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=639728"/>
Looks pretty damn clean. Congratulations on a job well done and thanks for the write up!
