A Chevy Malibu. I'm so sorry, you have to endure that.

What's in AZ??

I still think you should go with the AEV, did you see my post on RockDawgs, I went and visited there a couple of times.

My borhters live in AZ & am visiting them.

Yah, the AEV is the way I'll probably go.

Yes, I'm sad, but I know it is going to a great home. Just really bad timing with my damn accident though...Have to drive a Chevy Malibu :mad:

I've already started my research on the next Jeep...AEV Rubicon & Currie Jeeps...Looks like when it's time to buy, I'll have to order it & wait like 3 months longer, unless I get too antsy...we'll see. Especially if I end up moving, it might be a good thing to not have 3 vehicles to move (a Jeep, my car & g/fs vehicle)...

Well...I hope the Jeep makes it to CA safely!

Off to Scottsdale, AZ I go in 6 hours

hehe, a chevy malibu. Better then a geo metro, ALMOST!

The Currie Helldorado is a pretty built up rig. good luck. Hopefully we'll see you in CA some time soon

the Helldorado is a built up rig, but you have to supply a donor rig to them, new or old. The AEV, you can do either, but if you buy new through them, you can finance it all at once, and you get the Factory warranty, as well as the AEV warranty for anything that they install or modify.

My vote is for the AEV. Build it how you want it, brand new.

interesting, sounds like a good deal

If you go to their site, you can price one online.

You can even start with a Rubicon, and stretch it, or make a Brute out of it.

I'll pass, thank you

I really like the looks of the 112" Wrangler. It's really different. They say that they only do those in limited quantities. I don't have to worry, I won't have the money for one of those anytime soon.

I like the 104". Thats actually what I want my TJ to have as a wheelbase

You only need one, same with kidneys

Thanks Scott. Marshall was a great guy to deal with. Very honest and upfront.

thats a great idea with the aw4 XJ auto in the TJ since it needs one. Thats what am going to do if and when my auto in my TJ ever dies.

I've seen it done in manual tranny TJ's, but not in Auto TJ's. All the write ups I've seen have been for 5 speed TJ's. I think in order for it to work properly, I would have to switch out the Auto PCM for a 5 speed PCM. Its will be interesting, thats for sure.

It would be cheaper because the shafter and the petals are there already. 1 would be 1-2, and 2 would be 3, and D would be 4. And from what I hear the aw4 is computer controled for the shafting un like the TJ 3 speed auto. So that means it shafts nice and soft up hills unlike the TJ 3 speed. It feels like it's going to die and never shaft. TJ 3 speed shafts really wired up hills(I don't think it likes being under load when shafting). If I had 4.56's my Jeep would go up any hills @ 100 mph easy without shafting. The gas millage would die that why I stayed @ 4.10's to help it out. The 4.10's seem to be close to stock with 30's with 3.73's. I like the 4.10's with 37's more, then I liked the 33's with 3.73's. Let me know how the swap goes. If you part the XJ you may want to keep a few things for the tranny swap, so you don't have to go buy them.

In some respects yes, it would be cheaper

I will need a manual PCM, otherwise the the auto PCM will be looking for the NSS and the torque converter lockup deal, and some other stuff. The manual PCM doesnt look for that, so it has no clue that an AW4 is in there.

I know, but still would be worth the swap to get O/D since it needs a tranny.
