This is what I'm always thinking on the WK1 with big power adders as I don't see that upgraded tranny.
Exactly....couldn't have said it better. I think mostly, ppl don't realize how much they are going to have to spend to add this much power to a vehicle. It's not just add the power adder and be done with it. All other parts of the vehicle then need to be upgrade as well to handle the new power output. It becomes much more expensive and less manageable then one might originally think.
Let's see its a 2006 with +-12K miles, looks to be in great shape, has roughly 8-10K in mods. I would say this price is a little high but not outlandish. I could see it going for 32-35K. These jeeps hold their value suprisingly well.
That's what is kind of turning me off to this truck. It's all motor and no supporting modifications. I'd pay that price if it had a built transmission and the 440 stroker!
That is a correct. The blue tops are used as part of SHR's tranny just as the Valve body is to Bills Tranny. They are only temporary fixes and will only last so long at a certain HP.
These two statements are probably very true. When you go big power I does get very expensive. I know that first hand. While there is all kinds of things you would never even think of. Thanks to being a part of this great forum & all the incredible members who help & offer advice 24/7 I knew exactly what I was getting into & had a really good ballpark figure I knew I would end up paying. This is also the reason that I have paid cash (debit card) for everything I have bought. I will also admit that going from stock to what should hopefully be an easy upper mid 10sec ride while not really scarey. I know it will take some time to get used to it. The most important thing will be to respect the new power that it will have.
