@ChristianCotneyАй бұрын
Anyone else have a really good experience with the 4.7? I drove my moms around when I was 16 and despite my mom never servicing it, it ran great. It would also run neck and neck with early 2000's mustang gt's up to 100mph. When the radiator went out at 230k the engine was slowly starting to lose performance and smoke a little. But I know it would've lasted a lot longer with religious maintenance. Definitely looking to buy one in the future to go with my Camaro.

My first 4x4 was an 01 Grand with 3 inches of lift and 33s. The v8 died twice in that jeep(it had issues). BUT 5 jeeps later and I am thinking, a v8WJ would be a fun crawler rig or overlander build.

@michel69c2 жыл бұрын
@@daryokenar6215 There is a company called HK offroad. They make a hidden winch mount tha hide the winch inside the factory bumper and it looks super clean. But even if they didn't have that option, in my opinion, i think it is better to sacrifice looks for safety. Specifically if you wheel alone. I'm gonna go as far as installing one in the back of my wj. The majority of the times i have gotten stuck, I had to be pulled from the back because going farther forward was not a option.
