Jeep SRT8 conversion

A lot of people have done wk swaps. Although it does get pricey.

 

Your on the right track with bumpers, wheels. Don't forget side skirts. I think the grill is different.

 

You can still run a hitch in the back. But it looks stupid, and towing capacity isn't much over 3k I think.

 

You can buy used SRT springs for cheap, and lower it to SRT height.

 

Brake calipers and rotors are a big chunk of change.

they made a diesel version?

Yup. And they were pretty nice too (M-B 3.0L Turbo). They would get almost 30 on the highway, but they changed the rear end gear for the US so it runs higher RPM's on the freeway resulting on only low 20 mpg's.

 

Do everything rocky said it it will look like an SRT from the outside (the shocks and sway bars were different too). But they also had different seats and steering wheel.
