Awesome video and step by step. On my 1990 YJ when I turn the front shaft going in it makes a little knock noise. Even though its not in 4x4. Any ideas? Thank you.

How much did you end up paying for it?

find me 1 please guys??? none in lower alabama.. next to north florida

What generation hemi did you put in for your 06? The pre eagle or eagle?

I say learn from everything you've done sell it as is and start over

Wire needs 10 Guage

Really glad to see you posting an update. You have gone a long way with this build. I wish I was half as dedicated to any project like this. Looking forward to updates.

If you could get a crashed or rusted out TJ…. You could swap it to LHD.

Rusty Dude - I drive left-hand drive LJ - on left hand side of the road (English colony). Prefer it actually. A small lift on vehicle and driver’s seat definitely helps imho.

Great to see you back. Yeah I love the idea of this swap with a manual gearbox. I hate to say it but it would be great content to see you buy another TJ left hand drive manual gearbox and swap with this vehicles guts. Good luck!

Ive Been a fan since day one.. Even if you throw in the towel right now, i couldn't blame you..i've been down a similar road and haven't experienced the completion success you have. Thanks for sharing your experience. :)

Here from the tdi swap page :) great project

its not a common option swap but you could to a 2012-2017 NAG1 out of a JK there is a company that builds a controller for them. The same trans were behind mercedes diesels that also tend to idle a little higher than a 4.0

Maybe an R2.8 with something like the 8HP70. Plenty of good content in that swap. and by that time if you're not comfortable with RHD (I know I wouldn't be) trade or sell. There would be ton of interest in that build I think. Best of luck with your decision over the holidays.

Who'd a thought. Great video, looking forward to how you solve the dilemma!

easy solution to right hand drive vision issues.. a backup camera on the front in the right place to give you back the vision you feel you lost. very inexpensive solution. maybe on the windshield hinge.. or on fender near the hood latch orr??

I've had one of these for a while now and I love it. I'm sure you've found out by now that it doesn't have double overdrive but a multi displacement engine which means when you get up to 55 or so the engine will run on fewer cylinders for better gas mileage.Also on the 5.7 you have to use the proper oil or it will let you know. When I first got mine someone put the wrong spark plugs in it so it ran rough and died a lot, there are 16 spark plugs and they run around $17.00 a piece. Fixed the problem.

Keep at man! Rooting for you. Love the dedication you’ve given this project, truly a great representation of your work ethic and patience.

If you are interested in swapping to LHD. I can provide any measurements off my tj. But keep in mind it’s not just the dash and steering column. The power steering box and linkages are different. As well as track bars. Fortunately you have a donor jeep. It really may not be as bad as you think. You have already come so far..I’m rooting for you!

Good to see you back, been watching your channel, and your challenges since Covid. You inspired me to do my own swap on my '05 LJ of the Core 4x4 TrackBars and swaybars. Thank you for that. Also, on the subject of overheating, the TJ's (and LJ's) are notorious of heat buildup in their engine bays. I installed an aluminum hood vent on my LJ last year, which alleviated overheating, especially at idle. All the best to you over the Holidays.

Wow! I'm sure glad I never considered an automatic for my swap! I wonder if your tuner could drop the idle RPM a couple hundred revs. I believe the Ford flex plate/torque convertor is heavy enough to even out the pulses at the lower speed. Don't know what to tell you about the RHD thing. That would take some getting used to!

get a normal TJ LHD dash and swap the steering to the left side, swap in a 4l80e or a TH400 with a manual valve body. Solves all issues

Glad to see you back!

Did you just use the factory Jeep torque converter or did you get a different one with a different stall speed?

would have loved to hear more about NVH issue, ride/handling over bumpy rough pavement, noise levels over coarse pavement.

When measuring the height of the four corners of your jeep, since you are measuring from your flat garage floor, would it possibly be better to have measured from the floor to the lower edge of the fender flair rather than from the edge of the tire?? Please let me know what you think about that. Thanks.

Sir drive the diesel commander lol, it's soo much better than the hemi, at only a 3.0 v6 diesel turbo, and it makes real life 10 torques more than it's v8 rival, it's called a crd Ltd, it's crazy amazing it produces massive low down torque, meaning you will never see the very best quadra drive 2 system unless you got the crd commander, 32 mpg at 6 0 mph

Great video

Idk if this will be seen a year later. But did you use a regular 4.0l clutch? I bought a similiar adapter kit. Thanks

On the rear, so I disconnect sway bar link and bottom of shock ? Thanks

Hey dude! I know this is a little bit of an older video! But I noticed that close ratio 90 on the engine. For the coolant. Wondering where you found that 90

I've been researching an engine swap for my JKUR for my somewhat unique needs. My Jeep is built for rock crawling and difficult trails, with 1 ton axles and 38s (soon to be 40s). But what makes it unique is that it's my daily driver as well as tow rig for our 15' E-Pro camper. I'm looking for a balance of increased fuel mileage, especially while towing, as well as more power (mainly torque) and reliability. I would love to be able to use either a VW TDI or a Cummins R2.8, however I fear the TDI won't have enough power to see a significant increase in towing ability, and I fear the weight of the heavy Jeep and camper (a little under 3500#) would stress the small TDI. And the Cummins just doesn't make enough HP and torque above what I have now to justify the swap. Ideally, for my needs, this is where a 4BT or Isuzu diesel would shine. When I had a 4bt in my old Durango, it pulled great and got great MPG while doing it. Unfortunately I can't legally swap a 4bt in where I am, and any modern larger diesel with OBD2 has reliability and maintenance concerns.

So it's been 4 years. Are you still happy with these control arms? I'm looking at options for my TJ and considering these because they seem to be good quality at a good price.

What type of hydroboost set up did you end up using?

Multiple aluminum pieces are unnecessary and bolts are not included. Bad purchase.

Stupid needless music

great vid - where did you purhcase the seats?

Seen October 13, 2024. I own a 2009. Bought it new summer of 2009. I have 56K original miles. I would not sell my Smart Car. It's apart of me. I truly love my Smart. Mine does have Air conditioning.

Something I've never seen is a two-hand drive Jeep.

For power brakes, we now have the Tesla/Toyota electric power boosters.

my first car, had absolute fun driving it, miata could learn few thing on how to make small car with big interiour, shifter loosing communication and ac getting broken are only problem i had everything else was okay, and also this car doesent like holes at all and to hear turbo you need to let engine get a bit hotter then u will hear turbo

Do these control arms come with zerk fittings and what grease should I use?

What length was the Lokar shifter? I know they make a bunch of different height shifter arms. Looks like an 8" or 10"??

nice

What bell housing adapter do you need for the ax15?

Hi great video, nice Jeep, do you know if Kubota swappers have gone offline, I cant acces their website. Thank you and happy Jeping.

Do you remember what you used for bushings? I'm thinking about doing something similar with rubber YJ "Large" bushings, there seems to be kits online with the sleeve and outer tube. I don't like how so many of the universal kits online use 2 poly bushings at the framerails and solid mount the drivetrain. I really like how you kept the bushing in the middle. How's it holding up now that the project is running and driving?

Why did you not put the oil pan back on facing the same direction you took it off ?

I'm second owner of a 06 limited hemi 252 k on it. Of course inner door handle were broke replaced them. Differrictal bushing was bad. Clunk putting in gear. Replaced it. Ball joints were bad had them replaced. Driver side valve cover gasket leak. Had both replaced. Plugs and wires replaced. Front struts replaced. I had it for about a little over a year and love it. I ran seafoam and injecter cleaner thru it. Vehicle runs like a new one. Has a 2 inch lift and new tires. I just love it. Fuel mileage not good. I know I put money in it. I was with it.

I just put a new Jasper rebuild Hemi 5.7 in my 06 Jeep commander limited along with a Jasper transmission about 4 years ago. Well worth getting it running again.
