This Lexus V8-Powered Jeep Wrangler Looks Like Hilarious Fun
Stick a 1UZ V8 in a lifted Jeep Wrangler, and fun will follow - as this video proves!
Explaining his potentially ‘sacrilegious’ decision to put a Lexus engine in a Jeep, the uploader says “1UZs are everywhere and cheap. We can get 1UZs, including VVT-i models for about $180 with PCM & harness.” And as a bonus, they clearly sound good with some unrestrictive pipework!
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.
