I have a '11 Unlimited Rubicon ordered & was wondering if anyone is swapping Hemi's and automatics in them yet.
Will the existing kits on the market now work on the '11s?
I want a "real" engine in it already & I don't even have it yet!

Sweet... I just cecked out Burnsville OffRoad site... Here is the info about the 2011 conversion:

"We got our first 2011 Unlimited at the shop and the hemi install is almost done. The new wrangler is all the same on the outside and the same old powertrain. That's good news for us hemi installers. What Jeep did change was the interior. The new dash is reminiscent of a Grand Cherokee. The steering wheel has cruise buttons on it and radio controls as well. The new center console has a 115 ac outlet and a usb port for the radio. A 12 volt power outlet also resides inside for your cell phone. The new door panels look nice and the factory leather does too. The tailgate now has a rod that will hold it open and the cargo area has its own power port. Jeep did a nice job in addressing needs of the masses here and it has made the inside a delight to ride around in."

From what I've been told the only difference between '07-'10 and '11 is the interior. Mechanically they haven't changed anything so putting a Hemi in an '11 Rubi is no big deal.

I can't find much info in that site other than the HEMI raditor product? Do they offer a 5.7L/6.1L HEMI conversion as well?

Yeah he seems to do a lot of hemi conversions. Every time I have been around his shop he has a hemi there. PM or email him. I would say call him, but you might not like the long distance bill.

Btw he is a member of the Forum

That might be my girlfriends you are talking about. It's the Mango Tango Unlimited from SEMA. Burnsville did the install and from what Dan said there is a slight difference in the way the steering shaft comes through the fire wall. Everything on hers turned out fantastic with the minor exception of the cruise control. The steering wheel control for the cruise does not work yet but Dan said it is just going to be a programing issue and he is working on that right now and should have it sorted out real soon.
