Default 4BT Swap

Anyone out there running a 4BT in their JK. Would like some feedback and reviews of how you like it. Thinking of sending my Jeep from Hawaii to River Raider for a 4BT conversion.

Thanks

Only place I would send a JK for a 4bt is to the only place I know of doing it and who pioneered it - Bruiser Conversions. If someone else is doing it, they must be buying a kit from Bruiser. You're looking at probably $30k for the conversion and then some insane cost for shipping it to and from. All so you can add around 400lbs to the Jeep and spend more per gallon on gas. Then you have to figure out the front suspension for the additional weight. Look into Motech for an LS swap.

If you are determined, there is a build thread somewhere of a guy who just had a 4bt done at Bruiser.

Interesting conversion but I would also do the Motech LS swap.

Thanks, that's the one I was referring to.
