Hmmm, maybe we should make this into what some of the other car forums do and start calling DIBS on his stuff!

Yes, those HEMIs are sexy but before you drop big $$ on one, you might want to check out the RIPP Supercharger kit that bolts up on the stock 3.8 V6. Its puts out comparable performance numbers at less than half the $.

Xtreme 4x4 produced a HEMI vs Ripp segment on a JK with a dyno test at the end. Check it out:

Damn Jsears I didn't realize you went to 37"s Did you gussett/ sleeve your 30?
Listening to your last snow run and oil light was kinda scary. Definately air down so you don't blow up your front end Plus that oil light wont come on with a little skinny pedal work Put up some pics too Bro so I can see the Beast!

On a side note, Glad to hear Igotoyz is OK fromthe wind storm

Yea I went all out. Haven't done sleeves and gussets yet. It will probably be a spring/summer project along with gears. I have the stock 4.10s and it's really not that bad, but getting some power back would be nice.

I did some research on the HOT OIL light and it's not engine oil but the transmission oil for the automatics. Supposedly it is an issue and the recommendation is to add an additional tranny cooler. So that's on order, we were working our Jeep hard in the snow that day, since it was like ice snow, we had to keep breaking through the stuff!

Heres some driveway poser shots!
