    Wouldn't that be AWHP instead of RWHP?

    I'm looking at getting a late model 4x4 Renegade, any real world experience here with the KK? I loved my 2004 KJ Renegade.

    Here's a "file" photo of what I'm after.

    He will lose his ass. He is too smart to listen to the old man.

    Okay guys. Maybe last chapter?

    I went ahead and built up a 392 Hemi out of the 5.7 transplant lump. Went with a big bottom end & a cam capable of 20 psi blower boost & the 150 NOS shot on a continuous basis. Plus we went with better performing light package & a new laser diffuser.

    The thing is officially nutz. I mean it was good with a blown 5.7 Hemi and a 75 shot... But now its just stupid.

    I also mounted new wheels, and upgraded to Monster Brakes to work with the new found power. Oh speaking of power. We are at just under 800.

    That's crazy... and outrageously awesome! Love the Hemi!

    I'm so tempted to do something with my 2011 Renegade but unfortunately it's my commuter i.e. the gas mileage is bad enough.

    Thanks Wade. Blew a power steering pump today... Sidelining the Jeep till Monday. The new 392 headers (had to use new headers as I went from a low performing 2007 head to a high performance 2009 design) are now too close to the power steering pump. Got it hot - it went boom.

    Looks awesome. I can't imagine what it would be like. I've seen a TJ with a stock hemi, and it was a beast. I'm sure you surprise some people.

    Pulled into Lowes yesterday and saw this totally sick Jeep. WOW, the drool factor was in high gear! While I was gawking at it, the owner
    came out and told me he just drove it off the lot from our local Ford dealer. Surprised it was a 2007, there was not a scratch on it and
    the paint was like new! Not sure about the color (kind of an golden olive), he said that Jeep did this color on this model only in 2007.

    I've had my eyes peeled for a older Jeep for a long time and if I had seen this one, I would have been the one driving it to Lowes yesterday!

    Anybody here have such a model or have owned one?

    I was thinking the same thing.lol.
    Peter, lots of jeeps available. Find one that's been already modified a bit. Let someone else spend the money and all you'll have to do is sort it and drive it.

    yes. but I took the badge off because I think it's as stupid as Scuderia shields on a road-going Ferrari.

    :p
