I thought I would dig this back up to keep it alive. As aftermarket add-ons become abvailable maybe we can post it here to talk about. I realize the JK isn't a race rig, but with the lifts and larger tires being talked about it would be nice to know what is available to help the engine out besides replacing what the JK comes with (gears). I also realize that at some point (37"?) re-gearing might be a requirement.

I agree that the JK Unlimited would not be a race rig...but I need it to pull double duty...and with a weight of 4200 lbs. I'm worried that the V6 would not be up to it. I'm talking about 37" tires, 4.88's, good flexing suspension, cage, bumpers, etc. and still being able to do 75 mph on the highway...I also live in New Mexico where the steepest/ longest hill on any major highway is, La Bajada Hill, and would like to be close to maintaining speed when coming up it. A V8 and the 5spd. auto would be great.
