Default When is a Jeep not a Jeep?
After seeng the thread "you guys seen this monster yet?" , I was wondering how many and which mods it takes before it's not really a Jeep anymore? Like if you swap out the v-6 for a Hemi and put in a new tranny and axles, lift it to the moon, throw some serious bumpers on it, etc.. is it still a Jeep?
* note: keeping the cinderblock headreasts doesn't count.

Just a curious poll of opininos wanted.. not trying to start a war.

thank, Duffy

I would stop calling a jeep when its time for a frame swap or go full buggy setup.
