Hey,
Sold my ‘13 now looking at an ‘11 3.8L with 73k on it with a RIPP Supercharger.
Would you buy it?
Thanks!
Tom

I wouldn’t. Remind me again what the point of a super charger is for crawling down a trail?

I wouldn't buy it for the SC, but I might buy in spite of it. Depends on the deal.

Hell no. I hate the 3.8. A stock 3.6 has probably the same power and less issues than a blown 3.8.

I’ll bet whoever had it, “Ripped,” in it, since it’s supercharged.

I just bought a 2010 with a RIPP Supercharger about a month ago and really like it! I’m new to the Jeep world so don’t know much of anything except I like it.

I would definitely not trade a 3.6 for a 3.8, especially with a turbo... what are you trying to achieve?

Nope, no way. I'll run my 3.8 until it goes out and decide what to swap in, but in 10 years I've never considered turbocharging it.

If you do, take a look at a few youtube videos on how to check the wear and tear on a turbo system.

RIPP is a supercharger, not a turbo

Yup. Chicks also dig flames, so all your bases will be covered.

Thank you Yes, Supercharger not a lagged Turbo.
Thanks for your thoughts. I know it’s not popular but needed to through it in the bull ring.

You could buy it and drive it and wait for it to shit the bed and cause all sorts of problems. Or shove a pineapple up your ass and achieve the same result but without costing more than $2
