Anyone have any great info on this transplant or swap, the 2.4 4 popper i have now is getting up there in the miles, but does run pretty good for what it is, but with the way the little 2.4 pulls a hill with only 31's and 4.11's, im not real impressed with it. Yeah youtube's got loads of video...

I here you there, i'll probly try out the 31's for now, on my stock suspension. And when i can shoot for some gears, and a BB, i'll probly try some 32's or maybee 33's. :idea:

Yeah the P225/75/60 Wrangler GSA's (28") look like car tires to me, when i park next to another jeep at work that has 31's on it. His is an older TJ with the 2.5 and auto, and it looks much more stout than mine does. :shades:

A good point, and well taken because i do drive an 18 wheeler, and my company does run recaps on the trailers. I guess i was hoping that somebody would weigh in, on how they ballance so they dont shimmy or shake going down the road. A guy i work with feels that the bigger and widder the tire...

Kool, i believe i will. :mrgreen:

Anyone ever run retreads on there jeep before? I can get retreaded 31X10.5's for $60 bucks apiece, from a local tire shop. A few guys i know run nothing but recaps on there cars all the time with little troubles. My P225/75's are really ready to be swapped out, and im low on the funds for a good...

Not meaning that just because mine is an 04, that it was (The) first yr, for the (SE's) with a NV1500 5 speed. It is (One) of the first SE's models before they started slapp'in 6 speeds in them. (LOL) I believe that, it i read it right, on some site, that some of the SE's with the 6 speeds came...

Anyone with one of those pesky little 2.4L SE TJ's like me, running larger than stock tires, with the 4.11's? My P225/75/15 Wrangler GSA's are ready to be changed out, and would like to go with atleast 31's. Maybee in a few yrs when she's paid for, ill regear the D35 with a super 35 kit, and...

Yeah i would like a quick shot at the way the bell housing looks on or off the block, and maybee the motor mounts, the intake, and the front of the motor, would be cool. p0p

Cool! ill take any photo i can get, even though its gonna be a few yrs before my 04 SE is all mine. Right now im throw'in ideas around, and the 5.3 sounds like a winner to me. I just hope that i can slap a stick behind it.

Anybody ever think about swap'in a 5.3 out of a 1500 1/2 ton chevy into a TJ? My TJ has the 2.4L in it for now, but would like to move up to something larger in the future. I know that a lot of guy's want to go with a Hemi, but i dont want to have to fork out for the 5 speed auto. I believe that...

Been thinking a lot about a motor swap for my 04 Wrangler SE, with the 2.4L. I know i cant stick any of the older SBC's in an 04 jeep, but i believe they made the TBI 4.3 up untill 07. So it would be legal for an 04 install. I've never been real fond of an inline motor, which is why i thought...

Got a ? about whether or not anybody's ever had gears put in, while still under warrenty. Right now theres 4.11's in the punkins, but would like 4.88's to run taller tires. I've had the TJ since June of 06, and nothing has gone wrong with it yet. Can i get into any trouble if i do install...

Yeah i've felt that the ECCO's where pretty ugly since i've had them, and thought about the gambler or the canyon's myself. I do have a brand new set of P275/60/15 which are car tires, that i purchaced for another project. They are the same 28" tall tire as are the P225 GSA's, plus there just as...

The ECCO's are aluminum alloy 15x7 that are 5 spoke. What you've got are called Conyon's, and they sale for $75 all day long at the Collins Brothers.com site. One other thing i was curious about is, what 31's would be like with 4.88's. Reason be'ing, some of the post from other sites i've read...
