Go cheap on everything if you're building a "look at me" Jeep. No reason to spend lots of money on building a good rig. BB, Toyos and 3.21 gears will be perfect.
It's not all for show im still gonna offroad the hell out of it

Just because 3.8 is a bigger number than 3.6 doesn't mean it's better...
I know just because its bigger doesnt mean its better im not stupid and the 3.6 is still a minivan engine too

I know there's a difference in the 3.6 and 3.8 im not stupid what im saying is i could care less if everyone has 3.6 i like what I got

Rear pinch seam is where two panels on the body meet at it under the doors

My 3.6 in my new Rubi with heavy 35's smokes my 09 Sahara that I had all the performance parts on CAI, throttle body spacer, Cat-Back and the Bully Dog tuner set on the performance tune and lighter 33's...no comparison and my 3.6 doesn't sound like a 4 banger when it is rolling smoke off the 35's at a stoplight...and the 3.8 wouldn't spin the 33's

This thread is cracking me up!

At the end of the day, it's your JK, so do what you want to it. If you can afford to put quality products on it, do so. Do your research and try and do it right the first time. If you're looking for a street rod or looking to tear up the quarter mile, find a different car.

Whether you drop $1000 or $20,000 in mods and performance parts, it'll still be a Jeep. Do what makes you happy and enjoy it. If others don't like it, who cares.

I have the 3.8 minivan engine, a 3" lift and 35" Trail Grapplers on mine and couldn't be happier. If you're looking for great gas mileage, trade your jeep in for a Prius. Otherwise enjoy it and be thankful you have an iconic ride.

Take care and good luck with whatever you decide.
