We are planning a Glamis Sand Dunes JK trip--- would LOVE to have you! Put that thing on a cargo plane and come tear it up with us!

Thanks all for the comments, and you had me thinking of the paddle tire for a moment …but shipping it to USA …How about you give us a visit and checkout the fun...


Indeed I will be submitting more videos…

New drive shafts would be nice as well.



Basically, burnsville offroad charges 24,000 for the full swap. Not a cheap mod.
In addition to regearing to 4.88 (for 33 in my case)…OffRoadEvolution traveled all the way here and did couple of regearing for Jks

It does make a lot difference not only in performance, but also the way it shifts at low speeds..

Hey, i've been saving for one of these 6.1 hemi swaps for a while now, doing this here in Dubai is a little more difficult as parts and tools are limited for me. Whats the law in the UAE regarding modifications like this? Registering and all that?

Did you do the work yourself or is there a good shop in UAE?

@4000rpm speed is 40km/h
Redline @6200rpm about 60km/h
