1998 Wrangler LS6/4L60E swap

Here is one of my other hot rods.
It's a 1998 Wrangler that I swapped in a 2002 LS6 and 4L60E. Did it about 12 years ago. Came to me as a insurance salvage theft recovery. Left fender was damaged other wise is was very clean. It was a 4 cylinder 5 speed Jeep. Drove it like that for a year. Then I pulled the 4 cylinder and did a complete frame off restoration. It was a Texas Jeep so no rust.
It's my summer time mall crawler and winter plow vehicle. It's been great. 4:10 gears so it's not slow. We've had it on the Power Tour a few times.

Cool Jeep! I've got a '98 SE 4-banger myself that I love. I've had it nearly twenty years. I had to redo my engine a year or two ago, but kept it simple. There's not much easier to replace than a 4 cylinder Jeep engine in a stick shift rig.

Keep on Jeepin! :flag:

The four cylinder in mine ran fine. Had about 75000 miles on it but it was slow and I'd rather have an auto for plowing snow. So why not do a LS swap? I added a 241R TC out of a Rubicon along with a 8.8" explorer rear axle.
