2011 Jeep Wrangler Mojave Edition ... I'm really liking this. It combines the right amount of style, comfort and ruggedness. A+ Chrysler/Jeep

Which is a good motor.

Also, why can't it be that the minivan has the Wrangler motor?

Because IIRC, it was in minivans first.

Chrysler ever even thinking of getting rid of the 4.0 in jeeps was a stupid idea.

Yeah, putting an engine in that produces 100 more hp, more TQ, better MPG and not based on a design from the 80's is stupid. Terrible idea, Chrysler!

When they put the Diesel engine in it, I'll buy it. Love the leather seats.

When I see it get beat on and wheeled in a lot of JKs for 400k miles with no rebuilds or anything, just replacing wear and tear parts and oil changes regularly, then I'll believe its better than the 4.0, until then, its a stupid minivan motor.

They have Rock Lizard logo on them? Sure looks like it! Somebody needs to tell Marty to go after Jeep for infringement! You can bet if it was the other way they'd be all over it!!!!!

Or maybe Rock Lizard Fabrications and Mopar have teamed up, lol. Marty is too humble to tell people this, but Mopar has contacted him before to build rock rails, etc for their Skunkworks SEMA stuff. 8)

The black ones look great with the orange gekos.

If I were to get a new JK, I'd order it with the leather seats. The leather seats are waaaay more comfortable than the standard cloth. Not the covering, but the seat itself offers much more support.

Pfffft....dude, its only the engine block, and quite frankly, has more than enough power to move the Jeep.

The ONLY reason you'd need a bigger motor is if you're doing competitive mud bogging or competitive rock crawling, and possibly to make for the "lack of size" a guy may have.......thats it. Other than those reasons, the motor is MORE than adequate, does quite well. Trust me, I've had my JK set up for expedition use since 2007, and its done phenominally in all aspects.

The single best upgrade, if you want more "power" is to change to 5.13 gear ratio, thats about it. The motor is just fine.
