In the engine bay they swapped a 6.2 L LS3 V8 paired with a 4L60E four-speed automatic transmission. A NP231 transfer case sends power to a Dana 30 front axle and Ford 8.8-inch rear axle. Underneath they installed a Rusty&#8217;s Offroad 4-inch suspension and Jeep WJ front brakes. The Jeep rides on Moto Metal MO990 Rotary Series 17&#215;9-inch wheels with Nitto Ridge Grappler 35&#215;12.5-inch tires. The body features an Aqualu Industries aluminum tub with Motobilt bumpers and Bestop soft-top. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/engineswapdepot.com\/?attachment_id=96535\" rel=\"attachment
