Time to get ready for Easter Jeep Safari 2022! I have been putting off some exterior upgrades because I was focused on the JK axle swap and the LS swap the past couple years... It was finally time to throw some good looking front and rear bumpers and a new soft top on the LJ! It also needed new front springs and new bump stops. The LJ is ready for a week of wheeling now. I am excited to get out west again and meet a ton of people at EJS!
Don't forget:
Barnes meet and greet at the Moab Brewery April 12th from 6-8pm! Come say Hi and check out the LJ.
Atturo Tires meet and greet at the Vendor Expo on Thursday April 14th. Come check out the LJ in person and say Hi!

Holy crap! It's been 5 years already you had the Lj...time flies

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Right!!😂

[@robbanks7393]

I understand you didn’t do the highline but one day could show the mounting point of the fender to the grill.

[@GonzoOffRoad]

Love you guys' videos. always so upbeat and happy even when things go wrong. Jeeps look amazing as well. Keep up the great work.

[@willb3018]

Love those new bumpers. The gray/silver works. 👍 👍

[@discover4x4]

The Jeep is really shaping up nice. I hope to see it in person one day. Enjoy EJS guys!

[@gregj.gotham4402]

Great looking stance on it.

[@stephenhajovsky3971]

Just came across your channel. I LOVE LJ's! I currently have an '85 CJ 7 but I'm looking for an LJ in the near future. Thanks for sharing your adventures with that awesome jeep!

[@keriporter7898]

Man.... The LS sounds great! Love the new bumpers. They really tie the look together. 😎

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Thank you!!

[@robbanks7393]

Please keep the LJ content coming.

[@JeepGearGadgets]

I intend to😎

[@BottleJackBuddy]

Great video! So many great videos!

[@Freebeertomorrow-q3z]

I used to worry when my lady drove while I was outside the vehicle. Had to get to the point. Her lines were better then mine most of the time. Relax my friend. She’s killn it.

[@rightwingmanscott]

Enjoy your videos. Got a TJ changing to JK axles. Not radical. Just wanted lockers. Fun show and I'll keep watching..

[@xTinBenderX]

Cassie showing Ben how it's done with the best Jeep in the Fleet. LFG!!!

[@Brownkidc]

Glad to see my old 4-plex neighbors from Kodiak are doing well!

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Who is this?! I don’t remember a Lou, but I remember everyone in our building and most of the surrounding ones. GOOD TIMES😆 Lol I never thought I would miss those days, but I 100% do!

[@Brownkidc]

@@JeepGearGadgets It's Chris and Taylor! We had Bishop the black lab! She is in (CC) Drill instructor school now! and we're soon moving too Cape May as a family! We have 3 kids now! hahaha We are planning on going back to Alaska after Cape May! This is my trolling KZbin Account.

[@JeepGearGadgets]

@@Brownkidc omg bishop, can’t forget my favorite black lab❤️ if only we could have a bishop, Minnie, and Harper reunion. Lol. Glad to hear you guys are doing good! Taylor will make a great CC, how exciting!! Bahahaha trolling KZbin account, I need to make one of those lol.

[@jeffroberts760]

Trail footage at the end was really sweet - nice driving, nice rig

[@nyfo29]

that jeep is lookin beautiful & sounds incredible

[@daweasel100]

Crossbar ranch is a blast.

[@SkyBlueOffRoad]

While in Moab, I spotted Bens Rig and checked it out. Really wish I'd seen your rig as i really admire an old LJ/TJ style. Keep it classie and happy trails sister.

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Ben’s rig is pretty cool. LJ/TJs are the best though. Lol. Hope to see you around if you are still here in Moab! We will be at the expo today

[@caroleertel2961]

Congratulations … 50+K viewers 🙌🏼

[@caminoracer7987]

Love it when I see jgag pop up on my notifications !! Crocs for the win 👍🏻

[@mcwendel8066]

Looks great! Couldn’t really tell through the video that the Jeep had much of a rake but once you put the new springs on it made it look significantly better! Bad ass!

[@unlimitedljadventure]

Great video. Glad I was able to meet you in Moab. Hopefully I will see you out on the trail soon.

[@cjfont4578]

Love it i’m dying to finish mine the only difference between mine and yours mine is a JK 2011 but I love your Built

[@Smokeroux]

Great Upgrades. Dang that thing rips with all that power! Them LS dang LS w/o mufflers 🤣🏁

[@Strizzle81]

Love to hear latest on shifter and locker resolution.

[@Scott_69HemiDart]

Great upgrades, Jeep looks awesome!

Great job, thank you both!

[@Kruelty175]

New bumpers so much better /thumbs up

[@PaulKaiser42]

Rig is looking rad!!!

[@chellisdodge]

Looks great I like it

[@brandonbohlmann]

I run a bestop trektop on my LJ. Buy it from 4wheelparts and add the warranty anything happens to it and you can get it replaced and just rebuy the warranty for the next time(warranty is 10% of price)

[@jameslaxton7912]

Yall should come to smorr

[@bobbyj28]

Loved the video btw. I have always wanted an LJ.

[@IStayFresh510]

Settling the springs with the crocs on lol 😂 love it!

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Is there any other way? Lol

[@waynebetley4851]

Your jeep looks fabulous, bring on the trails. 👍

[@wrangler70jkujeep74]

Hope for rear fixed seen rear Instagram . Looks better with new bumpers . I just got front and rear bumpers on my slow build .

[@nicolasbautista3943]

Looks so good

[@rodneyhanbaum697]

Very nice, it's looking good 👍

You need an ORO SwayLOC system for the sway bar. Make your life easier.

[@donashcraft8617]

Great video!

[@tommydejongh7366]

Love wheeling videos

[@krashnpa]

Wait, was the previous owner that JKG&G guy? Totally seems like something he would build.

[@dealy9268]

Looks great!!

[@frankmartin806]

Dang Cassie can drive that's awesome

[@teags603]

Man that LJ looks great! Cant wait to see you wheel it at EJS. Im on the lookout for an LJ, but my JTR is gonna have to do for now. haha

[@BroncoPatriot]

You really need to upgrade or reinforce the roll cage. Scary to see OEM stock for what you may eventually do with this rig.

[@ralphjames4907]

Love it 🤙

[@TheRedStateBlue]

crossbar's a fun spot... but there's nothing there i haven't done in my 2.5 with open diffs.

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Screendoor, Cottonmouth creek, Stairwall to hell, funhaver, oh schmidtt, there are alot of spots people dont even know about

[@christiewaters4263]

I have a 2004 TJ 2.4l I’m looking to do a LS swap on. Do you have a build sheet on everything needed? What was the ball park cost to complete?

[@bradellis3855]

where'd did y'all go... again?

[@clydec4815]

awesome you guys

[@bobbyj28]

Last minute and a half was black screen with sound.

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Yep, I’ve got a ton of messages about that, editing error, whoops

[@DamienDavidO]

Where are you guys?

[@mike-pl8sn]

That could be an AEV Hood and fender set up they don’t make any more and is quite desirable

[@jeepindave5464]

They dont sell a high line kit anymore?

[@JeepGearGadgets]

It looks like it from far away, but up close you can tell it’s the factory stuff modified

[@PhatboyHD88]

Did you guys get the rear Locker fixed ?

[@barryfrank1868]

The Alaska tag is rad! How’d y’all pull that off?

[@silverbulletJKU]

I wonder if the fenders were the AEV conversion ones?

[@aaronheckman7563]

Did you guys get the rear locker working?

[@metwono]

Would you mind telling me how your spare tire is mounted? Is it just strapped down? Thanks!

[@mails5054]

whats that white chopped jk grille doing haha

[@joshuamayeux6639]

Where are yall? Post more :(

[@jonnycakes]

Niiiiice!!! 👍 The stance with the new springs and the new bumpers look so much better. What's the weight of the LS compared to the 4.0? Did that affect your spring choice at all?

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Agreed! It looks ways better!😆The 5.3 LS is about the same as the 4.0, so the swap didn’t impact my spring choice.

[@jadewatkins5549]

It looks awesome did you get the rear locker fixed

[@shelbyfeurtado9076]

Is there a video where you made the front bump stop can?

[@javiermendoza4006]

What did you with the original engine?

[@avengedor2923]

Where did you go wheeling? looks awesome

[@rudy4370]

NEW VIDEO ALREADY!!!!

[@CLCustom1911]

Just binge-watched the whole LS swap series. You guys are phenomenal, but my wallet hates you. Need to get a desert rat jeep with a LS project started! Be safe, and have fun.

[@FlyFish402]

How long do springs normally last? I just put a lift of my JLU and wondered if I’d have to replace them in 5 years? Or when?

[@samsanderson7159]

You sure those "DiY fenders" aren't the AEV highline kit. It isn't made anymore and it has some value.

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Yep! They are DIY, not the AEV kit

[@paulhasty8388]

I noticed now you don't have a trailer hitch.

[@JeepGearGadgets]

Correct, I don’t need one, I’ll never be towing with the LJ

[@markcargile]

When you guys were jumping up and down on the front, I was cracking up because the right side was squashing more than the left where Cassie was. Ben, bro, you need to grow a few pounds lmao. Jus hackin on ya dude. Nice work guys!

[@Burke_Motorsports]

ejs! Ejs!! EJS!!!

[@thatmar1neguy]

So what was up with the locker and shift linkage?

[@markleonardi1520]

I’m hangin in on the locker issue too. My front JK Dana 44 seems to be doing the same thing. Switch is active, mag is clicking in but no lock. Patiently waiting the outcome of their diagnosis.

[@jeromeburrasca6710]

Where’s the complete Atturo tire review you promised?

[@JeepGearGadgets]

I’ll be making one by end of summer. The jeep has mainly seen garage time the past year, I didn’t want to give an incomplete review on a tire I had not used and tested on the street, and Both east coast/west coast style wheeling

[@FutureShawn0058]

I’m going for a 500 wheel hp Bronco with the 2.7L. I’m upgrading the turbos. Super risky but I figure ‘what the hell?’

[@REDMAN298]

My F 150 is running a 2.7l , didn`t know 500hp was possible. The CGI block with fractured mains is certainly strong.

[@FutureShawn0058]

@@REDMAN298 yes sir! Look up 5 Star tuning, they added CR Performance turbos, CAI intercooler and tune and got 500 wheel hp on the 2.7L F150

[@lalo18214]

In another hand I'm here still having death wobble after lifting my JKU :(

[@AustinH7]

Is your track bar torqued to spec? I had death wobble after lifting, it was due to simply a loose track bar

[@lalo18214]

@@AustinH7 I've taken it to the shop a s they said yes however I have not try to torque it myself.

[@jeepindave5464]

It needs rear flares. It's so naked.

[@JeepGearGadgets]

I like it with no flares, but I’ll probably add some in the future

[@Mangaman_]

😊

[@ralphs88]

How much weight did the LS add over the 4.0L? My TJ is. 2.5L and I am going to do the LS swap. Not sure if the stock/light load OME springs will be good or not.

[@MM-gm2yk]

OME springs not good

[@ralphs88]

@@MM-gm2yk what's not good about them?

[@frediefarmer]

Need a heavier spring weight for the v8

[@ralphs88]

@@frediefarmer that's fine. That's doable.

[@JeepGearGadgets]

The 5.3 is about the same, maybe a little lighter than the 4.0.

this an LJ ?

sorry was this originally a lj of did you stretch

[@samjohnson2801]

Cassie is always so damn FINE!

[@richardb8492]

I’m probably going to cop a little flack for saying this but I wish Cassie would slow down and take a breath once in a while. For those of us that are not the full book of knowledge on Jeeps it is very difficult to follow what she is explaining. I’m still learning and this channel offers a lot of useful info but sometimes I have to watch it a couple of times or is this just a ploy to get the views up on the channel? 🤣
