| Newbie from Ohio looking to get insight on a upcoming project. I currently own a 05 Rubi with 17" JK wheels, soft top, hard top, full doors, half doors, NAVI, Sirius, Heated Leather seats, 6 speed, with 74k mi. I just purchased a 2011 unlimited with 5k mi. I'm planning on putting in a 5.7 Hemi that I've had for awhile now. I have a 2004 5.7 Hemi with 545 auto tranny with transfer case plus front AAM and rear axles out 04 Dodge Ram 2500. I just purchased a 2011 Jeep Wrangler with 5,300 miles that was in a flood. Everything is good on the Jeep except the motor knocks terribly so time for a HEMI!! Here are pics of the parts and Jeeps I currently own.     | |
