If you need more oomph a hdj81 with a 1hdt and e-lockers at $15k is a better deal, has more power, is at least as good offroad, and a way better tow rig.
I slightly disagree. I believe the 1HZ to be a marvelous motor--one which can be easily turbo'd. But even if left as is, it's fantastic. The 13BT is a generation older and while a great engine, if I could choose between the two, I'd go with the 1HZ. I've ridden in and driven LC's with each and that's my dos centavos.
