DRAMAS on Jesse's BMW Powered GU - Do we get it running?

The GU build is BACK!🔥After some dramas with the gearbox and & a set-back due to damage to the torque converter, Jesse is back in the shed & ready to update you on what’s next.
This time we’re fixing up the transmission, installing a new exhaust, adding some sneaky engine mods, bringing the cab back down, and starting on the interior! 💪
Will Jesse get the engine running? Watch to find out 🫢

Comment for lining up the logo. Oh so satisfying!

[@WildfyreCreations]

I love how humble Jesse is. He is legit at down to earth guy :) Someone you would have a coffee with and learn so much from :)

[@woutererasmus6404]

Well done Jesse. Any DIY builder would know the relief that this first starts brings to the project.

Loving watching this build

[@Laytonrodwell]

Easily the best KZbin video I have watched in a long time. Jesse you’re a legend mate. Cheers for the video.

[@sama5946]

I did the my whole n70. Full stage 3 car builders kit, one mod I can’t live without now

[@Miss_SHORTY1]

I am very happy for you Jesse , I have been waiting for this episode for weeks. Can’t wait for the next episode. FWD 24/7 have improved the show by including you in the show. I can relate to your excitement when you told us that most of your other projects haven’t been done with new components. Great work FWD 24/7. Don’t leave Jesse’s next GU / BMW episode too long. Can’t wait and have followed this project from the beginning. 👍

[@explore_off_road]

When it started, I cheered as much as Jesse.

[@ggghhsddeeffgg3993]

He seems super excited and keen

[@clarkbarryj]

Jessie's enthusiasm is infectious...great series so far mate!

[@calilife805]

2 months ago about found this channel. Owned 4 Jeeps. Here I am… just bought a Jeep last night ! Already stripping her down 24 hours later ! Thank you guys! Really got me out of my depression stage. 🍻🇺🇸

[@mikescudder4621]

What a bugger! That was one hell of a set back.... i've had my fair share of mechanical setbacks, cylinder head studs pulling out when torquing them down etc, but not quite as bad as your predicament! You look like you handed it well though... Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance mate.

[@30nitrorc26]

You found enough money to have a cold beer at the pub👊

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always 4WD 24/7 Crew. Jess your GU is going to be so awesome on the road and the Tracks.

[@Damian_Pearson.]

I love it when Jesse gets hiped up 😂

[@nickbeckman8589]

Hell yeah mate! Nice video! Good meeting you boys on the rooftop, enjoy your travels back

THAT DOG IS A CHONGKY BEAST !!

[@geordiegibson1210]

BMW mechanic here, daily is a 2006 E53 X5 3.0 M57D30, that issue you had with the DME (ECU) isn't a sync issue as such, a lot more complicated than that. The M57 I'm seeing here looks very much like an early model. If it is, I'd really recommend a swirl flap delete (they are in the intake manifold, and known for failing and wiping out a piston and/or the cylinder), and aslo upgrade the EGR valve to the newer swirl pot design. Glad you swapped to the earlier style cast manifold, one of the first things I did to the X5. Cost about $175 landed here in NZ but haven't had a problem since. Just make sure the bracket at the bottom that helps support the weight of the turbo is installed too, as it helps minimise warping of the casting. Other than that, if you're running the factory DME and have issues, get in touch. And HDI Tuning in the UK can get these things to a healthy 300BHP and 600Nm of torque on the factory DME, for not much money and no loss to fuel economy. Such a good platform, have fun with it.

[@chasemorace161]

Can't wait to see that big GU hit the Traks

[@lovefishncookn14]

Yeah I’m as pumped as you are Jesse 🙌👍💪 the GU sounds awesome mate 💨

[@PaddyBoy644]

Great work Jesse this things going to be an absolute weapon, can’t wait to see you and Pete in the ultimate 9 gu

[@nnoddy8161]

Gotta love the M57 - bringing Defender and Patrol owners together for a common cause!

[@Steele-Robinson]

Awesome stuff glad Mitch was able to help you get her going good to see another m57 gu out there 🤙🏽

[@timothyherweynen6210]

Very entertaining build video. Loved seeing how happy he was to hear it fire up! Well done Jesse! 👍🏻

[@rylanherrick5660]

I couldn’t help smiling seeing that thing start and seeing you so up and about. Keep it up mate, enjoying the build

[@TorqitPerformance]

Love to see the smile when you're unboxing your exhaust mate! Enjoy!

[@aaronodguy967]

Well done mate! Hopefully that ECU doesn’t let you down in the bush.

[@LandRoverDrive]

Loving this build and glad you got it sorted Jesse! 🤙😊

[@Caml80]

Stripped the interior out of a VN commodore when I was a first year apprentice. From memory I think I found about $30 in gold and silver coins. Boss let me keep it too! Might not sound like much these days but when I was only taking home $168 a week it was a nice little bonus!! Jesse’s excitement of finding coins made me smile!

[@30nitrorc26]

Well done brother it’s looking good💪💪💪

[@dalemurfitt9839]

[@arnavp412]

One of the first 247 episodes I watched was the crew in the glasshouse Mountains and Jesse at the time had the green td42 gu single cab I’d love to see this face off with that green gu in the glasshouse

[@jfree1074]

Your excitement is infectious. Love it. Ps we all knew you were going to snap that screwdriver mate, look on your face had me in tears 🤣

[@oldaussiev8bloke]

Jesse the negative jumper lead needs to go onto the body of the starter motor when testing. You had the positive in the right position and you use the screwdriver like you did and that triggers the solenoid and the positive power goes through the solenoid and out the the starter motor through the pole that you connect the negative jumper lead to

[@boostedbmw]

Hey Jesse, pull your door trims off and put the sound deadening mats inside them too. Makes a big difference.

[@bullzye101]

good stuff Jesse its been awesome watching your GU build and now actually running 👍. very big thumbs up

[@jacobthornock317]

Yeah mate, i needed a better earth ground on my Toyota and it made all the difference.

[@ronladuke7235]

I don’t know what they’re like down under ( I’ve heard some of they’re inline sixes are very good) but in North America once they’re a few years old you can buy them cheap because they’re so costly to maintain and repair. I hope you have good luck with that engine?

[@stevemann16]

Nice to see the build coming along, will be cool to see you in this for a trip. End of year with the whole cast?

[@zwarst]

That beast is going to breathe fire 🔥.
