Jeep JK LS Swap; Complete How TO
I always think that a V8 Swap is the right answer for any project, and when I started planning a V8 swap into my 2 Door Jeep Gladiator that is based on a 2007 Jeep Wrangler I knew that an LS would be the engine that I wanted to put under the hood.
This is a complete How To that takes you step by step through the process of installing an LS engine and 4L80E transmission into your 2007-2011 Jeep Wrangler JK

    That box is for a Semi Truck. The colors are different for them. The Brown is for running lights on one side of the trailer and Black for the other side. No big deal just different because they use an amber turn signal that needs to be separated from the running light and there are frequently so many lights that they use a separate system for both sides.

    After seeing how much better the constant tension clamps are I would much rather use them than the worm gear type. But if the heat shrink ones work better then go for it. I like the constant tension clamps because they don't tear into the hose like the worm gear clamps do.
