It definitely does. My cooling system is in great shape/all new, so I was not worried about it and it turned out fine. If someone has overheating issues already, I definitely wouldn't recommend it

I did my best! I recommended at least carpet to a bunch of people, and they didn't believe that it made a difference!

I didn't take any temp measurements, but I certainly felt a difference! That Jeep has AC, and it felt much stronger after all the insulation was down. Keep in mind, the engine also feels the difference too. If your cooling system isn't up to snuff, the new insulation will let you know quickly!

Thank you very much!

Thank you!

Very true! The cooling system in that Jeep is all brand new, and I think it would stay cool inside a volcano. If someone had some older or dirty parts of their cooling system, I think it could cause some issues

You're welcome!

Thank you!

That's up to you. Personally, I've removed the track bars on both of my YJs, both front and rear. I've kept both my sway bars because I don't like the way they handle without them. A lot of people get sway bar disconnects, so the sway bars can be used on road and disconnected offroad

@@NoGuaranteesGarage This means sway bar is recommended when driving at high speed,to keep yj steady on road?

@@kareemvitar6645 Definitely! You can always unbolt it and go for a quick drive to see how you like it. That's what I did, and I wasn't comfortable with the amount of body roll

@@NoGuaranteesGarage Ok,i understand.thank you.

Thank you! It didn't always look that way. I've got pictures of everything, but no videos unfortunately. What year are you hoping to get?

Thank you! Let me know if you have any questions!

You're welcome! Let me know if you have any questions! Is there anything else you'd like to see next?

@@NoGuaranteesGarage Anything dealing with installing brakes (disc or drums), haha. That's another topic I don't know much about!

@@DeluxeDart I've already done brakes on both my YJs so I unfortunately don't really have a car to video it on. They're really not that bad if you take your time. I find it helps to take pictures/videos while I do things so I can see exactly how they come apart/go together. If you've got any questions in particular I'd be happy to help

I've since been working on a custom trans mount rather than modifying the stock one. I'm hoping it'll be stronger and provide more access. For driveshafts, my rear is roughly 20", and my front roughly 40". I've got them and the trans out right now, but that's with a super short SYE and pushing back the rear axle about an inch

Good luck! Let me know how it goes, or if you have any questions!

I mean, they're nearly identical vehicles outside of the front clip. Most people I spoke to before trying this gave me the same "it's a Jeep, it's meant to be loud", but most of those people don't daily drive theirs either

@@NoGuaranteesGarage True. In 1986 if I gave the Jeep wave three times a week it was a lot. The Jeeps of old were made for the military, boarder control, post office, utility companies who needed to travel on unpaved roads. I didn’t care about the noise. They were fun to drive as long as you respected its limitations. CJs suspension was a whole lot different from a Wrangler. Very harsh. You won’t believe how easy it was to flip a CJ. Never did thank God. They really softened the Wrangler suspension to attract everyday drivers. When the YJ hit the dealer showroom in 1987 model year they sold like hot cakes.

@@map3384 My grandfather had a CJ7 before I was born. I never got to see it, but the pictures were enough to make me love them. I ended up with the red YJ because I couldn't afford one. Jeep definitely tried to make the YJs feel/appear safer than the CJs. I've even heard the square headlights were to encourage an appearance of stability

@@NoGuaranteesGarage I was thinking of buying an old CJ. Should have never sold mine ages ago. I look around and can’t believe how expensive they are. Dennis Collins offers a great service for Jeep lovers in Texas but it comes with a hearty price. $40+ for an old CJ? Mine cost $11,890 new in 86. So I’m looking at a YJ.

@@map3384 Do it! They've been increasing in value as they get harder and harder to find in good condition. Can always swap the front clips if you'd like

Thank you!

From what I've read with Lizard Skin, it does a great job with the heat, but not so much with the sound. If this was a Jeep that got wet on the inside I'd probably use a coat of LS and then bedliner overtop

So much has happened between then and now. The red jeep is on its third engine, sending its transmission out for a rebuild shortly, I picked up a TH289 carb cheater, sound and heat insulated the green jeep, and probably more things I haven't thought of. Been working some long days and I always forget to turn the camera on when I get to work. I think this was the sign/motivation I needed. Thank you

Thank you!

Nope, just a 355. I might have edited out the part where I discovered it, I can't remember. The listing had said a 355 and the guy had said to me right before I left that it was a 383... I figured it wasn't, but it was worth investigating. Its a cast stock crank

You're speaking my language on that one man. I've already been looking into making one 2wd and weight reduced with either a built 4.0 or a LS. Would be a heck of a time on the dragstrip and I've never seen anything like it!

I just took a look at your videos, what did you use for a front axle? I've thought about just chopping the ends off a D30 and welding the ends to a piece of pipe

@@NoGuaranteesGarage yeah thats exactly what i did. I cut the ends off and got a piece of 2" od dom tube. That slid inside the leftover tube on the ends. Front axle is 8" narrower than stock, and pushed 4" forward. I also narrowed the 8.8 i put in it. I have a bunch of pics on a forum ill post the link.

@@jimbo8v92 That'd be great. That's exactly what I'm looking to do!

@@NoGuaranteesGarage not sure why it wont post the link, but i added it to the description to my last video.

Probably sitting outside because somebody hasn't gotten sawzall happy enough yet...

I took a hiatus from the starion. Been busy with school and life. I have some footage just never ended up editing and posting. Will get back to work soon! I still have it sitting in my driveway

@Tommy-df9dz sounds awesome can't wait to see more of it

I thought you were Tommy! I had no clue how someone else could know about the Starion but apparently I was on Tiktok. It's his car. He just moved so he's sorting everything out. More videos to come soon from him on it

I ended up having to pull the drivetrain recently to fix some leaks and that's exactly what I did. Live and learn!

I was trying to leave as much of the factory paint and undercoating as I could. I did think about using a wire wheel and bedlining the underside, but I'm not a huge fan of dealing with bedliner

Anytime you go to the bare metal you need epoxy it has that zinc

If you're anywhere close to Newark, DE I still have the trans. The linkage I might not have every piece still, I haven't checked

Fuel pump I spliced into the factory fuel pump wiring. I retained the original fuel level sending unit

@@NoGuaranteesGarage and u didn’t take out the efi pump out

@@TheSonicusa Yes I did. I pulled it and replaced it with a length of submersible hose and mounted a holley blue on the frame rail where the factory fuel filter is

The distributor I have a HEI. I found a wire that was hot when cranking and run and used it to power a relay that sent 12V through some thicker wire to the relay. Temp and oil gauges use stock sensors and stock wiring (just lengthened) in the proper locations on the sbc. Starter I used all factory wiring

@@NoGuaranteesGarage nice thanks bud .. didn’t u use different oil sensors for Chevy or u used the Jeep stock sensor

I can take some pictures if you'd like. I used all the factory wiring and ran one extra wire, if I remember correctly.

Driveshafts were custom through Tom Woods. Their website did a great job of explaining the process. If you need any help, let me know and I'll do what I can

I'm a little concerned about the stock 700r4 holding up but overdrive is definitely going to be nice. I can always try and build it out if I need to. Haven't hooked it up yet but looking forward to having it

@@NoGuaranteesGarage I used the Novak conversion kit for the transmission and Advanced Adapters for the engine swap.

@@12Bravojeepstuff I ended up using the AA engine mount as well and just modifying the stock crossmember for the trans. Had it going 70 to the DMV yesterday with no issues so far

@@NoGuaranteesGarage I have been running mine swapped for about 20 years now. Pretty much a daily driver. A lot of road trips from NC to GA when I was in the ARMY. I took it to Telico before it was closed. Has always worked fine just loves the gas. I changed out from the Rochester 2bb years ago and went with an Edelbrock intake and carb. I would love to run the new holley EFI. I think I have put about 120k miles on it since the swap. Maybe more.

@@12Bravojeepstuff Thank you for your service! Glad to hear a similar setup is not impossible as a daily

As long as I pass emissions for a stock 94 Wrangler I'm good. Delaware does not have a very strict test

Got to get on those cruises with you and the guys soon!

Next we need a Mitsubishi Starion revival; I'm waiting for it turbo noises...

Trust me it got a ratchet strap on the way to the exhaust shop. Hood latches are coming in the mail. I figured it'd be okay under 15mph and I was right but definitely don't want to chance it too many times

I can't tell you, I'd be giving away my secrets!

@@NoGuaranteesGarage I understand… nice job!

Hoping to get an exhaust put on it in the coming weeks. Even then it might have to be a daytime hours cruiser!

@@NoGuaranteesGarage screw that … straight pipes ….

@@Darkstarr-ud2go The cops in my town love pulling over all the Mustangs, BMWs, and Hondas that run down main street. I'm sure they'd love another straight pipe mess

Thank you! And yes, they are my parents. Definitely my number one supporters! Hopefully I can give them their garage back soon...

Is this your way of shaming me into editing another video?

Cole is going to take over your spot you better watch out

Couldn't be happier with it!

Be my guest, I'd appreciate it!

Wish you could've been there to see it

That's a great idea. I'm very new to the whole thumbnail thing so any help is much appreciated. I was thinking about doing that with my next video; having the old and new engines side by side. Thoughts?

@@NoGuaranteesGarage Yeah I think that - or if you have your engine crane, maybe hanging one of the engines on that also. Something that creates intrigue. I struggle with my own thumbnails, so I like to point things out when I see things on other peoples videos. 😆

@@NoGuaranteesGarage I will add, I liked how there was lots of different scenes in this video. It wasn't just you standing in front of something talking. That kept me interested for sure.

@@DadBodForever I made a video a while back that was a lot slower and more boring, I was trying to keep it more interesting. Second video coming within the next few days. I have almost all the footage and just need to edit.

@@NoGuaranteesGarage Nice! Yeah I think this one had good flow. I also have been trying to speed up my videos while also trying to avoid making them "too fast". It can be a challenge sometimes!

Should be before the end of the week!

Maybe one day if I stop being poor and in college
