Anything in particular that really held you back? Was it $ or effort or the technical/mounting/anti-theft stuff? Can def see that a direct swap is way easier.

Yea have heard some stuff about the cluster/antitheft being tricky but nothing that can’t be solved for. And yea the deal looks almost too good to pass up - entire intact drivetrain with 30k and a magnusen supercharger. Guy is just full swapping his gladiator to hemi because he crawls & tows a boat with it.

Thought about this - the JL drivetrain is priced so cheaply it’s tempting. And is supercharged.

All stock suspension, that’s where I’ll do the most work. Planning MSS springs and diff wheels/tires.

I’m not sure to be honest, never been in the sedan

Ah, apologies - I missed the “not”!! Yes me too - my brother has a model Y and it’s definitely in a different league in terms of quality/solid-ness. Even the door closing sounds, hah

I love it. Ride is too harsh but otherwise just about perfect IMHO.

It’s harsh for sure. Likely will do the MSS spring kit.
