still a unibody ??? all the potential of a "real off road vehicle but a unibody" i dont get it.

something else i dont understand is why they put 3 different 4X4 choices all in one. What ever happened to the good 'ole high lock/low lock?

BTW, this is not a concept.


edit
if I had a choice, i would probably go with this:
the new hummer.

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

what's so great about a hemi? i know it has a different pisto shape at the top, but what does that do for the performance?

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

that looks nice. the jeep brand and the hemi name will attract many people.

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

i dont understand some of the newer 4x4s. they have the automatic 4x4 engagement systems, where if you start to slip it will go into 4x4 mode. this is not good when you want to mess around.

but.. i was reading the post.. it says..


Valve gear: pushrods, 2 valves per cylinder, hydraulic lifters

2 valves? is that measured as 2 valves per intake and exhaust.. or just 2 valves.. because for today's technology... only 2 valves in a cylinder, is like going backwards to me..

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

well, jeep has relied on the IL6 for soo many years, now it takes on the hemi....thats my point.

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

They'll sell them for $38,000 and years years later they'll be worth $9,000 !!! I love jeep/dodges !!!

Also.... My civic has a 1.6L sohc 4 valves per cylinder hemi.
My focus has a dohc hemi
and my saturn has a 1.9L Hemi !!!

Isn't marketing great !!! Hemi, hehehe....

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

the hemi is special cause its the only V engine that is OHV and has hemisphereical chambers :P

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

more small valves = high revving
2 big valve = torque

has nothing to do with technology, in fact if that hemi has displacement on demand or wahtever dsm calls it... its light ages above your honda motor

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

you left out the gas mileage of both.
here in socal, the gas prices are above 2.50/gal now. (premium)

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

i think both are around 14-18? :-\

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

jeep has used the 4L inline 6 for a long time cause it's an awsome engine. inline configurated engine last longer cause the pistons have less friction than a V configuration. in a V config engine the pistons have the friction of their own weight leaning on the cylinders, V config. puts the pistons at an angle, meaning they're going to rest-lean on the cylinders, as opposed to inline that they're completely vertical, the only friction the pistons will have is it's own up and down movement. kinda difficult to explain just by typeing.

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

So they claim on the factory sticker.I got the 4.7 Ram and Im lucky if I get 13mpg on the highway at about 2k rpm doing 70-75.The HEMI actually gets about 10mpg on the highway.But that doesnt matter here in Texas where gas is $1.90 for 93 octane 8)

I opted not to get the HEMI couse Ive allways had plans to turbo the 4.7.Plus the HEMI was like $4k more expensive :P.

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

cherokee's have been having v8's for awhile now whats the big deal?

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

those V8s they came with sucked though. very troublesome.
6 inline's the way to go in a jeep.

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

the 5.9 (360) that came in the platinum edition grand cherokee's back in like 98 were the ----.

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

lol you're full of ----... my dad has a 99 dakota 4x4 slt with a 318 (pushrods) and on the highway it gets 20-22mpg...

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

for some reason, i just had a braing failure. when i was thinking about two valves.. i was thinking "why would they put 2 small valves in the cylinder" it did not even occur to me "hey, you could put 2 large valves in there" i am such a dumbass (no reply needed.. but this is hmt, i will have like 6 that are quoting me and agreeing.. ::) oh well f'it i had it coming)

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

ITS A ------ HEMI. THIS IS NEW FOR JEEP CONSIDERING THEY HAVE BEEN USING THE SAME 2 ENGINES FOR PRETTY MUCH THERE ENTIRE LIFE. ::)

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

so what if it has a hemi, you have fallen victim to their marketing... such a shame

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

::)
accually if you read what i wrote, i said i would rather have the hummer.

and i just made the post because its something new for jeep.

i dont want one. for that amount of money, i would rather have a h2 or the hummer SUT.

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

---- you,you inbred ----!I test drove both and thats what the ------- computer reads out on the display.

The new Rams weigh 5500 pounds.I dought that Dekota weighs that much.Maybe that could be it ::)

The 318 makes around 250hp and torque.The HEMI makes 350 or so.It therfore consumes more fuel.

Should I go on?

Read up Mr.I-------knoweverythingaboutdomestics

I think your dads 318 runs off crak...stay away from the fumes.

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

Didn't read any of the BS posts in here..

Hemi in a Jeep? Cool shiite.

That Hummer looks homo. Hell, h1's and h2's suck my left nut. I hate them.

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

If you wanted to post something that was more exciting you should have posted the SRT version of it ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

good easy to read info including disadvantages.

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

why dont you post the SRT version, if mine isnt good enough for you...

Re:yeah, its got a hemi, its a jeep and its stock
 

1.60 a gallon? ---- that we pay about 10 bucks a gallon here...that's depressing ---- right there >:(
Nice Jeep,wasn't there a discussion about wether it's a true Hemi or not?
