Why did they install an atlas in that thing? I doubt they are going to need it...
Why does that guy have an atlas in that? I'm surprised he has an ARB, and that he wheels that thing, when he puts a cover over his seat so it doesn't get dirty.
I'd guess the original 231 was warn out (probably just stretch chain and shift pads) and the cost to get a new one from the shop was close enough to the Atlas to call it a day.
Note that this Jeep does not sport the factory original BA/10!

So am I to infer from that image that 600,000 miles on a 4.0 is equivalent to 3,000,000 miles on a Volvo B-series engine?
If so, I'm not sure if I should take that to mean that the 4.0 is five times less long-lived than the Volvo, or if I should circumvent ever having to worry about the 0331 head cracking in my XJ by replacing the existing engine with two Volvo B20s joined to a common crank. That would even take cubic capacity out to a thundering 3972cc (up from 3968cc), and has potential for six-million-mile longevity!
2.8 million miles is impressive, but it doesn't say how many engines he's replaced.
