Selling my JKU. Needs new engine.
« on: August 21, 2015, 05:37:05 PM »
Anyone out there looking for a great Jeep and willing to do an engine swap? I'm looking to sell mine since I don't have the time or money to swap one in myself and I figured if there's someone out there looking for a project to swap a V8 or something else into a JKU that already has tons of upgrades now is the chance.

I think you'd have better luck parting out some of your stuff and putting an engine in. Built jeeps you wont even get half of what you spent on it (usually only a couple thousand more than what a stock one would cost), and yours doesn't go.

Take that for face value, it's your jeep. Just my honest opinion (I have a race jeep with probably $85,000+ invested).
