What's everyone's thoughts on this?! Pretty sweet to see a v8 be dropped into a JK straight from the dealer

What's the point??? Stop wasting our time and put f@#king Hemis in jk's!!! And there is absolutely no reason they need to cost $40-50k.

Just on dodge site. To upgrade to a Hemi in a ram it's only $3000. So why not do the same with JK's?

Why don't they stop wasting our time and offer a F#%king Hemi for JK's!!! Great, you made a show jeep with 42's, because you are SO going to roll them off the lot next year.

And there is no reason it needs to cost $50-60K either! Go on dodge's site and build a base model ram. To upgrade from a 3.7L v6 to a 5.7, its $2300 ...

So, sell me my Sport with a 5.7L for $26-27,000 and make us happy..

I'm Peter Griffin, and that is what grinds my gears lol

You could list almost every aftermarket part on that thing just by the illustration!! You would think that if Mopar was so intouch with the aftermarket world for their vehicles, that they would wise up and actually build their vehicles with some of these options (like a Hemi Jeep) so they could get a piece of that billion dollar aftermarket industry. Wake up Mopar!!!
