Hey, guys

just wondering what you guys think about the 3.8 power? Is it powerful enough for the 4door with the hard top?? What about lifted ??


Thank you

 

If you regear, I think you should be cool. It's an odd little engine, but it's a good one.

Now CRD... that's the way and the light right there.

 

I test drove a 4 dr with a soft top and the 4.10 gears option yesterday and I though it had alot of power. We are going to get one with a hardtop but I can't imagine the top weighing it down too much. We really liked it soo much that the wife is almost for sure going to trade in her beloved XJ.

 

I test drove a 4-Door X with a hard top and an auto and it seemed to have enough power. I believe it had 3.73's and with bigger tires, I think it might struggle a bit. Although, if it had a stick, I'm sure it'd be no problem up to a 33" tire.

 

I drove a 4 door sahara 4x4 auto 3.21 ratio 18" rims hard top a/c on and it was just as fast(or slow)as my 2003 tj sahara 5 speed with k&n cold air filter.I then ordered a 2007 Dr 4x4(or 4x4x4) sahara hard top 6 speed 4.10 ratio 18" rims anti-spin axle.I loved the 4.0 I but she gone now and we must move on.the 3.8 moves 300 lbs more keep the mpg a little better and helps the handling,i have 4 jeeps with the 4.0 and i must say the 3.8 seems better for where I live in south fl.and we do not have many rock here just sand and mud so the higher rpm on the 3.8 is good for us off road.

Recheck the sticker- The autos only come with 4.10s.
