Great job dude! I like how you give the tips and trick as you install things, you even give ones you didn't have to use, but you know some people had to. Not everyone does that. Looking forward to more videos!!

I’m no where near ready to 1 ton swap but I watched all of this series. Looking forward to the day this becomes useful info for me haha. Good work

Your knowledge of the build process is amazing. The Jeep looks great. Anxious to see the final product roll down the street (and hit the trails).

[@Jo_Nthejeep]

I appreciate all this info. I’ll be going to a junk 1 ton within the next month but will buy things slowly since I don’t have the pockets for all at once lol this series has definitely helped!

[@jnightrod]

The Jscan app is awesome. Already used it to change tire size and to get the backup camera to work with the factory head unit. Again jeep looks great.

Dude, I love your videos (and I don't even own a Jeep anymore). Watched all the axle swap playlist vids, even the 2 hour ones, and many others. But, especially has no 'x'.

[@hivoltagedriver]

Same brakes I used on my swap (slotted only on the rotors though). I have no problem stopping, very quickly. Oh, and those calipers are 25lbs each BTW! 100lbs just in calipers. I actually shortened and re-flared my rear hard lines, and ran the soft lines down the upper control arms. Just one less thing hanging down to get caught up on something. Keep an eye on your rear endlink/ wheel speed sensor clearance. I broke one, and ended up just removing my rear sway bar with no drivability issues.

[@TheRamie]

Alot of work but man it looks well worth it!!!

[@drepagaming]

Great video! Only thing i'd say is you don't need gas mig. Fluxcore is great and will penetrate just fine, even better than MIG depending on the voltage you're running. You can make fluxcore look nice, won't drop dimes but it's fine for axles.

[@2015_Rubicnn]

That's a lot of work!

[@jeepn8048]

Thank you for all the handy info , ive learned a ton .... I had no idea that those unit bearings existed to convert the dana 60 lug pattern / tone ring .... With my 2017 i may have to use those unit bearings , idk yet.... I contacted J-scan he says that his app does support all jk jeeps but idk if ALL of the featured are available ..... I do have the Diablo tuner and unlocked computer but i havent explored my tuning options. I have to do some research .

[@rickfeemster2387]

Love those wheels

[@georger9998]

It’s about time you wrapped this series up! Hahahahahahahahahahaha. Love the channel Ben.

[@williamheinemann8286]

Thank you for this series, and Great job! I thought the '05 and up superduty axles used the fine thread lug pattern, but my 06 came with the coarse pattern. I can only assume the bearings have been replaced. At one point, in one of the videos, it looks like your dana 60 also has coarse threads... Does it?

[@codyholliday6059]

Awesome videos man! I've been using them for reference while doing my one ton swap. I will be going with the same brakes as you and am wondering if you ever came across the part # for the banjo and caliper bolts? I didn't see them in the description. Any help would be great, keep up the great videos.

[@jameswmatthews]

Hey Ben, what was the final width of the axles with the 40s on? Like the edge of tire to tire. Planning on purchasing a trailer and have my 14 bolt under, but no 40s yet. Thanks!

[@kshepthedrummer]

So when will you be ready to wheel? We need to ride up to rausch when you get it ready lol

[@morganbarber2461]

Just a tip never loosen a bolt or nut with a torque wrench. They are meant to tighten only. Back it off with a breaker bar and then re-tighten with the torque wrench.

[@yjoem1]

I would like to c how ur e brake worked out

[@zip7806]

Now you need some WFO long travle shock hoops.

[@chrishurley9128]

Hey Ben how do you like those beadlocks and how do they ride? What size rim did you go with, also what's your opinion on those tires on the east coast?

[@bruce-bruce7975]

What's the link for the brake mounting bracket bolts? To mount brakes to the knuckle? Thx.

[@ryanbranch8046]

Did you ever end up doing the j8 master cylinder or did the stock work ok with the power stop upgraded brakes

[@peerplaut]

I have a 1966 International Travelall 4x4. I want to upgrade the drive train and would like to to abs. is the abs computer module stand alone or does it need to tie into the ecm?

[@williamh6547]

Got another question, you said you was going to do a comparison with the stock brake booster and cylinder, and then compare that to the upgraded one, I haven't heard that comment from you, so is the stock setup good enough for the 1 ton swaps, or am I really going to need the upgrade booster/ cylinder? Thanks

[@area8zero1]

Where did you buy your vision beadlocks from?

[@Silentway247]

Any reason why you retained the ford wheel hubs?

do you have the link for the spindle tool?

[@jaypollard29]

I may have missed it, but any particular reason to go with the 14 bolt rear over the superduty rear?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Talked about that in the first video. Sterling rear will have gas tank clearance issues, less aftermarket support, harder to setup. Overall the 14 bolt is a better choice

[@caveman117j8]

Are those spacers hub-centric ?

[@jasonwaren8984]

You didn't cover adapting the parking brake cable between the jeep and the 14 bolt. Any resources you can reccomend?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Fusion 4x4 ebrake cable

[@jasenchandler8004]

Did you just use a different banjo fitting to adapt to the 14 bolt calipers?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Pretty sure I just used the banjo from the 14 bolt calipers

[@naturespy]

I’m planning on 1 ton swapping my JKU and wondering that gear ratio should I shoot for? Will also have the hemi and 8 speed on 40s. Stock sport tcase

The J8 brake booster seems to be for automatics transmissions. Im sure there is a reason, but i dont know why. Do know of a brake booster for a standard transmission.

It’s for manuals too. Just need a stand-alone clutch reservoir

I ended up getting the fusion4x4 cables

[@zve482]

Ben, with the 60 pin wheel did you have issues with the trans? I’m only getting 3rd gear with 5.38. Programmed with an AEV.

[@JKGearandGadgets]

You need jscan and program in the odd gear ratio 4.66 option I think? Whatever the formula for the new tone ring count ratio ends up being for your tire size. Aev won’t allow you to trick the computer

[@zve482]

@@JKGearandGadgets so program it to 4.66 instead of 5.38? Or and that AEV won’t work to be as clear as mud ? lol

[@millstonejeepworx]

Hey ben, working on this swap for my '08 JKU. Been following your video series and really enjoying it. Still stripping my axles to prep them for the trusses but looking ahead. Questions? How did the e-brake cables work out for you? Also, I have a manual trans JKU. I believe yours is as well. How are you handling the Slave cylinder reservoir with the JK8 master cylinder? Thanks

[@JKGearandGadgets]

For the ebrake I used the fusion4x4 cable and it worked great! For the clutch resi you will need an aftermarket clutch reservoir

[@millstonejeepworx]

@@JKGearandGadgets Any particular reservoir you recommend or found fits and worked well?

I finished this swap on a 2017 wrangler with automatic transmission. After changing gear settings to 5.38, tone ring settings to 60 and tire size to 40 my Jeep stays in 3 gear (limp mode?) any suggestions?

[@JKGearandGadgets]

You might have to try setting it back to stock tone rings and play with the gear and tire settings

[@garylwoodward]

Thanks Ben. This post is a resolution from the tech department at Artec which fixed my limp mode. The formula is .866667which is a result of multiplying by 52 and dividing by 60. This is applied to tire size and gear ratio. Using code reader input these new numbers leaving the tone rings at 60. Fixed my issue after trying several shops with no results.
