Jeep guys be like what's a V8?

Ha ha. That's about it. Some do install v8s and hemi's are popular. But it costs a bundle. Kinda like modding a raptor.

I have a 5.9 v8 in one of my Jeeps and a 4.7 v8 in the other soooo....

However, I will be getting rid of the 4.7 Jeep before I get into the new Raptor because I dont need 5 cars sitting in my driveway.

The 4.7 has been a good engine. You have it in A cherokee? If you take care of them, And don't overheat they last quite a few miles.

Its in a Grand Cherokee. Its been damn good in its 68k mile life so far. I tow four wheelers with it with zero issues. My father in law has a grand with the 4.7L HO and that thing is surprisingly beastly.

The only issue Ive had so far is the exhaust manifold studs breaking on the drivers side (common issue). I was lucky enough that the studs broke with more than enough to get out with vise grips.

Just stating that Im getting rid of a Jeep for a Raptor just like was stated earlier about a member talking about the Raptor on the TJ forums. People in the Jeep world dont really give up Jeeps for trucks as their main 'fun vehicle' as they say 'its a jeep thing you wouldnt understand'.

Its somewhat like breaking an unwritten rule, at least around these parts it is.
