Parts Jeep was $1500, my motor/trans/tcase are worth $600 or so, the parts off the wrecked one should be $900 or more.. So, other than labor it was a free swap. Mine is lifted the way I want, has the rims and tires I want and the bumpers I want.. and a 6 cyl is worth $1000 to $1500 more than a 4cyl..

All that said,main reason is the wife would not go for selling another car, I have swapped cars 7 times in the last 2 years, including 2 brand new Dodge's which I of course lost money on when I sold them..
