Holy crap! Well, At least it's already built. The wheels are a bit blingy for me but I'm guessing that at $110K they'd swap them out for you!

That's not a Jeep Wrangler unlimited. It's something else with a Jeep logo glued to the body.
And I actually think the wheels are cool. The look high tech, but not too blingy or shiny-- assuming you're talking about that first one.
What page are you looking at? I see 2 JK Unlimiteds, one JK SWB. (sold)
After I typed up that post I kinda thought about it, and figured out what you meant.
IMO, when you start replacing your stock Jeep components with some from other manufacturers... (like dumping your 4.0L in your Wrangler for a 5.7L From GM)... and replacing your axles... is it really a Jeep anymore?
according to the DMV it is still A GREMLIN, Had a VW bug on a Jeep frame and was titled as a VW, Jeep body and still mostly Jeep related parts so its a Jeep. If you ever owned something like that what would you say? Mostlikey "I own a Jeep!"Exactly. When you buy the custom suspension for $18k, put in a dodge hemi, replace the axles, tcase, diffs, transmission, seats, steering column, but by God, you've got most of the Jeep body bolted on to it, is it still really a Jeep?
For instance, is this still a Gremlin?

Well technically there's no "Dodge" Hemi. There's a Chrysler LLC Hemi and that same engine is offered in the Jeep lineup, but in the Grand Cherokee, so... it's still a Jeep engine.put in a dodge hemi

Well... myyeah... I mean, it's an engine and it's produced by chrysler, but you're telling me that they put a 5.7 in a Cherokee?
My understanding is the 5.7 is used in the Dodge Ram 1500.
Hmph, ok, you're right. Holy cow, they put that beast in a Cherokee stock?!!
Good gawd they're makin 'em big these days... don't they know there's a gas crunch on?
Burnsville Offroad engine swaps,be it a 4.7 or any of the HEMI's,is done to the point that you can take it to a dealership and they will have no problems diagnosing it or getting/replacing parts.They are the place to have a HEMI swapped into your Jeep,or the 4.7.I've talked to Dan a few times about the 4.7 swap in my KJ,if it goes through he will be doing the swap.Hey if the guy can shoehorn a Viper V10 in a Wrangler and it all works he can sure swap a 4.7 in a KJ.Marlon, I'm being facetious. At what customization point is your vehicle still what it's badged as?
This isn't to say I don't think that $109k jeep (first one) isn't absolutely fabulous (*snap*snap*), it's just that when you sell a Jeep Unltd for $109k, we have to assume that a lot of the parts that existed in the vehicle when it was driven off the dealer lot are no longer there and have since been replaced, engine included.
