There is actually a few dealers that have hemi equipped JKs. They are done by AEV and are about 87 thousand. My local dealer is one of the dealers that does it. But it has all AEV upgrades, lift, wheels, bumpers, lights, winch.

Because Chrysler hates you. The Hemi in my new GC was a $1700 option. Jeep could build a Hemi JK with decent axles and bumpers and price it at $40k if they wanted to.

They're actually bringing out a MOPAR Hemi conversion kit. I'm sure some dealers will sell jeeps with them already installed...

Yea I Know= there is a company out of Las Vegas that is installing GM LS-series aluminum block v-8s with 6L80 Trans. and working well. 5.3L or 6.2L
Now you have 2 choices and the GM might be a bit less?
