2007 diesel build or 2016 brand new?

That's an awesome deal! We ended up getting a 2015 sport that we'll build up and keep til it dies. After our road trip in it this weekend we're both wanting a hemi. View attachment 208798

Awesome! Congrats on your Jeep! The sport is very capable, especially if you toss some air lockers on it!

I have a '14 Willy's Unlimited with a manual tranny regeared to 4.56 and 35's and it runs great everywhere I take it. I did install lockers front and rear during the regear. I would have to agree with not doing a swap just for the sake of time and headaches. Especially if you wanna get out on the trail with the fam. Granted my willys only has a dana 30 in the front it's more than sufficient while I'm gaining wheeling experience, plus once it goes I'll have an excuse to upgrade my axles. Just my 2 cents. oh and welcome to the jeep family :thumb:

I have a 2010 jk that I'm doing a 4bt swap in it pretty soon. I'm really excited about it and can't wait to get into the rebuild phase of it. It's cheaper for me to do the 4bt than to go to much of any V8. (If it was gas I wouldn't get a used one). I'd say go with the 07' and diesel. Better power, better gas mileage, more life in the motor, and much more simple. What more could you ask for?
