    Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392 Hemi headed to production!

    I have the eco diesel in my JLUR and the transmission shifts at such a fast rate that I don't think the axles will have a chance to break. I love spinning the tires around corners and haven't seen any damage as of yet. I even punched it going up the left side of the poison spider sand bowl...

    AMC Eagle ??

    You mentioned the T5 transmission... just and FYI there are two types... one out of the jeep and one out of the mustang. I did some research years ago and found the mustang one doesn't fit the jeep. THey are a close ratio box and would really kill your mileage and top end. If you went with...
