without looking too close you wouldn't know it was a Hybred.
I haven't measured yet, but I would have thaught the GU or GQ wheel base axel centre to axel centre would have been longer than a JK wheelbase,,, bugger that's why I was wanting to make a dual cab with a good size tray.

From memory the GQ wheelbase was only an inch or so longer than the Jk wheelbase. The body fits really nice over the GQ chassis. There was alot of fab work to marry the 2 together and make it all work.

An uneducated person wouldn't be able to tell the difference between this and a JK. That's how good it is... and it sounds amazing with the V8 and goes really well too.

Why not add a Hemi to your jeep and get dana 60 performance axles?
I guess I just don't get it but wish you all the best.

I would think Nissan diffs with jk suspension would be the best combination?

Jk chassis is amply strong enough. Jk suspension geometry is a lot better.
