This 2002 Jeep Wrangler SE is a unique and highly capable custom build that combines the legendary off-road versatility of the Wrangler with the power and reliability of a proven GM V8 drivetrain. Finished in silver over a gray interior, this Wrangler maintains the classic TJ styling enthusiasts love while delivering dramatically upgraded performance both on and off the road. Tastefully modified and purpose-built, this Jeep offers the perfect combination of rugged capability and everyday drivability.
At the heart of the build is a 5.3L V8 sourced from a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado, bringing a substantial increase in horsepower and torque over the factory engine configuration. Known for their reliability, aftermarket support, and strong performance potential, GM's 5.3L Vortec V8s have become one of the most popular swaps in the off-road world. Paired with a Jasper-built 4L60 automatic transmission, this Wrangler delivers smooth power delivery, dependable operation, and excellent street manners while still being trail-ready.
The drivetrain is supported by Dana 30 front and Dana 35 rear axles with 3.73 gearing, offering a solid balance between highway cruising and off-road capability. Riding on 15-inch KMC wheels wrapped in 31-inch BFGoodrich tires, this Jeep has the aggressive stance and traction needed to confidently tackle trails, dirt roads, and weekend adventures. The tire and wheel combination complements the TJ's compact dimensions perfectly, maintaining maneuverability while enhancing overall capability.
Inside, the gray interior keeps the Wrangler's classic, utilitarian character intact. The cabin remains simple, functional, and easy to enjoy whether you're out on the trail or cruising with the top off. The TJ-generation Wrangler is widely regarded as one of the most desirable and best-driving classic Jeep platforms thanks to its coil-spring suspension, compact wheelbase, and rugged body-on-frame construction.
What truly sets this Wrangler apart is the V8 conversion, which transforms the driving experience while preserving everything enthusiasts love about the TJ platform. The added power gives the Jeep significantly improved acceleration and drivability, making it equally enjoyable as a weekend cruiser, trail rig, or attention-grabbing custom build.
Whether you're a Jeep enthusiast looking for something beyond the ordinary or simply searching for a well-executed V8-swapped Wrangler, this 2002 Jeep Wrangler SE delivers classic Jeep capability, upgraded performance, and unmistakable personality in one highly enjoyable package.

About Garage Kept Motors
Garage Kept Motors, LLC specializes in classic and specialty online auto sales.
For our consignors, we are the only auto brokers that offer a Transparent Sale Disclosure. This means, when a car sells, we provide an exact copy of the Bill of Sale. We do this so our clients know exactly who bought their car, where it went, and most importantly how much we sold it for. No funny business.
For our buyers, our vehicles are listed on the Internet, with over 100 photos, including undercarriage pictures, and walk-around videos of the vehicles running plus a narrative-style write-up of the cars history and features. Our international exposure allows us to sell cars across the globe, and we sell a majority of them out of state and overseas. We deliver honesty and consistency in our photos, so buyers, both near and far, can invest with confidence sight unseen though we do recommend to check the vehicle out in person or have a PPI (pre-purchase inspection) done. We are not a gallery. Vehicles can be seen locally by appointment as potential buyers are given our undivided attention.
