My (Long Overdue) 2004 Sport Build

[Rick Brewsler]

Thanks for sharing, sounds like a fun build!
How do you like the Rockhard front bumper with the Warn m8?

Thanks, I have zero regrets or complaints on either the bumper or the winch!

Love the stroker, a best of a worst case scenario.

Is the stroker in and running yet?

Yep, had her running last year, but didn't get to drive it much before winter set in. So far so good!

A noticeable more amount of power over stock I assume? Never had the chance to drive a stroked 4.0 unfortunately.

Yeah, noticed it right away, changed all my shift points (I was like a first timer on the maiden voyage), and got 5th back.

It feels/drives like a totally different jeep, but I also got the re-gear done a very few miles after I did the engine, so didn't get to drive much with just the engine and evaluate much. Really liking the combo though.

Thanks for looking

Nice to hear that! Even with re-gearing, the 4.0 in stock form has always felt underpowered to me on the highway in terms of passing power. Especially though mountain passes!

Sounds like the stroker alleviates that!
