Hey I have a two door 2001 jimmy 4x4 5spd and i'm gettin sick of it cuz i really want somethin with more power and will get through a little more mud. would it be worth it to drop in a v8 and lift it or would i be better off to just buy a full size truck? by the way its kindof a limited budget too

 

Just buy another truck. lol. Save yourself some time and money doing that swap. Just my opinion.

 

i agree w/dave save some time n $$ n just buy a little beater v8 for a mud toy

 

x3...go full sized.

 

doing a swap would be awesome but it'd cost more than buying some good old 4x4 beater that you can just demolish on the trails

 

yeah I would look into a k5 blazer or a 73-87 chevrolet/gmc pickup. Most of those that would make good mudding trucks can be found pretty cheap and most have v8s and are straight front axle for easy lifting.

 

I agree go Full sized.

 

thanks for the advice guys! im lookin into a 86 1ton chevy wit a 6.2 diesel that used to be a military truck so its beefed up and CAMO

 

that'll do the job

 

and your plans for the Jimmy? I'd love a 5-speed 4x4
