MattJWK Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Hi Jeepers! Joined the club today:) I’m from Italy, living in Northern Ireland. I’ve been driving Jeeps for over 20 years. I currently have a WK 3.0 CRD. Looking to buy a second Jeep ( WJ 4.7 or WK 5.7 Hemi). Apologies if that was not the correct section to introduce myself. Greeting from Northern Ireland!

Platinum Member JimC Posted February 18, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted February 18, 2022 Hi Matt Welcome to the club and yes, you posted in the right section. Any photos of your WK and it seems that you want to a second Jeep with a bit of power? When it comes to paying the annual car tax, you might find it will save you money if you go for a WJ registered before 2001 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member JimC Posted February 18, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted February 18, 2022 Maybe a 4.7 high output WJ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had 5.7 Hemi Wk before but never had a WJ and I love it and high output is definitely the model to go. But there are not easy to find..

Platinum Member digger Posted February 20, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted February 20, 2022 Welcome aboard MattJWK, Yep good WJs are hard to find you may have to take the tax on the chin. We have a grossly unfair road tax system here.You will have to accept the age that it is. I tried to buy one 5 yrs ago when I bought my WK which I bought because had been looking for a WJ for a couple of years!! Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Member Fourpot Posted February 20, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted February 20, 2022 A 5.7? Oh yes! There are so many well-tried tuning options and parts for hemis. That'd be my choice for sure. Anyway, welcome to the club! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Member spookie the aardvark Posted February 20, 2022 Platinum Member Share Posted February 20, 2022 Hi Matt and a warm welcome to the club As some one who has a 4.7 H.O. WG and uses it in anger they are great fun, can't beat a V8. Not cheap on tax or fuel but the smile it puts on your face makes everything else worth while Must admit when you put your foot down it will turn you into a hooligan 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
