[QUOTE="Chris, post: 425133, member: 1"] I think my other issue with the 4BT is weight. They are heavy as hell. That Kubota that Grant has going, I wonder if that's going to be enough to really keep that TJ at highway speeds? Not that the TJ is a great highway vehicle to begin with, but I'd like to know I could at least keep up with highway speeds if I need to. Having owned a hell of a nice JK Rubicon, I ended up getting rid of it because it just wasn't me. It drove like a dream, was quiet as hell, and had more power than you'd need in a Jeep. However, it was inherently complicated, which must mean the JL is even worse. Not that that doesn't have it's perks, but if you like working on your own vehicles, the JK and JL are a mistake in every sense of the word. I know what you mean about the carbs, they can be finicky. However, I guess if it was just a vehicle for cruising, it wouldn't be so bad. I'm not sure how much I'd trust a carb to go off the beaten path in though. [/QUOTE]
