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.

That jeep sounds like bad. You want to hear a rill v8 jeep my v8 (350) in a 1990 Jeep Wrangler will make you cream your jeans!
Seriously, where can one find a 1UZ VVT-i?? For that cheap
WHERE CAN I BUY ENGINES???
Foisy you goddamn redneck, getting CT famous. Sometimes I love my town, first a motorbike swing then a 1UZ swapped Jeep lmao.
That looks like stupid fun. I’m going to track down a 1UZ for my Z31 now…
Shift, please, Shift!
Impressive
It’s amazing that in this day and age people still don’t know how to pull cars out that are stuck.
Please inform me: where the hell do I get a 1UZ for $180?!
Ebay, Craigslist, sure it seems a little shady at first but you’d find really good deals that are too good to pass up. ie. I saw an AE86 recently for sale for 5k fully running and was a hatchback sprinter trueno only that it wasn’t in a panda paint job it was essentially an initial d look alike.
