Default Project **Hat-Trick**

Hi All;
We came up with the name Hat-Trick because we are swapping a 5.3 /4l60e to a 6.0 /4l80e out of a 1999 Silverado 4x4 Z71 and adding a ON3 turbo kit!

Then we thought WTF lets put the 5.3/4l60e in the POS 4 banger 1993 jeep Wrangler and throw on a ON3 turbo kit to make it fun.

LET THE FUN BEGIN!!!!!!!
we will post progress pics and Donating Sponsors along the way.

We are a non-profit organization that gives vehicles to military service members who return to the United States after extended deployments.
And our funding comes from selling hotrods like these two vehicles.
