Molly's new Engine & Manual Gearbox for Future Overland Adventures

[@sarahdell4042]

Beautiful!!!

[@JKoverland]

She is 🤗

[@itsaboutfam]

OMG....Molly got a serious upgrade! The swap looks awesome...it looks like it's from the factory. Molly got a stronger motor, drivetrain and AC!!! I love it!!

[@JKoverland]

It's such a different beast to drive now. AC and cruise definitely the cherry on top 😋

[@tramptruck4859]

Nice to see Molly getting some love 😊 I see a unique and very useable vehicle emerging.

[@JKoverland]

That's a good way of putting it! :)

[@TJ.Outdoor]

Nise uograde, i also switch from gen3 3.2 to 2.8, only for mechanical, reliable things, and 2.8 its one sexy engine if its well maintaned

[@JKoverland]

I have always liked the 2.8 a lot. That's a new one knowing someone go from 3.2 to 2.8. Interesting conversation 👍

[@NORTHWEST4X4ADVENTURES]

lovely truck mate.

[@JKoverland]

Cheers dude 😎

[@kevsulley8386]

Love the colour

[@JKoverland]

It just works 😌

[@dahlenadventures]

Looking good as always! I bet if feels like a whole new rig now with the drivetrain change and man 29 mpg sounds amazing!😍

[@JKoverland]

Thanks man! Ah it's night and day! So good 👍

[@BrokeWrench]

Molly has a manual! Now its gone from nearly to actually perfect!

[@JKoverland]

Too kind. But I'd have to agree! 😁

[@turtleturtle2078]

You'll love the 2.8 i had an 89 swb that i swapped a toyota 1kz(with pajero 2.8 mechanical pump) into which is pretty close to the mitsu 2.8 in power and i loved it good solid power even in the mountains i actually ran 37's on that one aswell i remember i swapped 31's on at one point and it was a real screamer as you might imagine going from the 36s down. Mine also had the gen 2 running gear with 4.63 gears i imagine 5.29's could only make it even better

[@JKoverland]

1kz is a fine motor! 37's is some big boots to fill. Really happy with the way it has turned out. Plenty of power and economy and what an upgrade! 4.63 works pretty well on the highway can cruise at 70 with relatively low rpms. 5.29s would be epic off road I think. Low first seems good with the 4.63 to be fair.

[@dannyhardaker149]

Wow Molly is looking awesome some well deserved upgrades gonna make future adventures even more brilliant can’t wait to see the camper build unfold

[@JKoverland]

It feels like the final major piece of the puzzle if you know what I mean. More on that soon. :)

[@dannyhardaker149]

@@JKoverland I know exactly what you mean Im still a long way off the final piece on mine though

[@brandonmuscat453]

Nice! I'm sure you know this but if not... always take care of the temps when going uphill they love to blow the head gasket if overheated. I've got a mk2 with a 4m40 with 400k and still runs like a boss. Anyways love the channel, take care.

[@JKoverland]

They do need to stay cool thus everything in the cooling system has been changed to new and the quality rad 😎 even on long uphill drags now it's barely can break 80°c 👌

[@JKoverland]

Well pleased to hear of a 400K example 😎

[@marccallaghan7997]

Good to see a vid guys 👍and I know what you mean about the 4D56....not much beans in it! My K94 really suffered when I put 33s on it. However I've just put on an allisport intercooler and had a sensible re-map (along with the deletion of a certain valve 😁) and it keeps up OK now. They'll never be sports cars at the end of the day, no matter what we bolt on em 😅 Nearly sheep grease time for me! I remember your vid every time I'm crawling about under the truck covered in Lanoguard 🤣 Cheers from the peaks

[@JKoverland]

They can be ok the old 4d56, ours was clearly not though as it was only running on 3 by the end 😂 ours was tuned but with the old auto really sapping the power it did struggle at normal tasks. I'd imagine with the manual it's a lot better. Haha Lano time soon for me too.

[@TheNorthernExplorer]

Nice! I keep toying with an engine swap on my Landy to make it a bit better in every day traffic but it’s a big job!

[@JKoverland]

What would you go from at to? :)

[@TheNorthernExplorer]

@@JKoverland well at the moment I have 300tdi manual I’d probably go for an m57 or om606 manual

[@JKoverland]

@TheNorthernExplorer I'd of thought a good 300tdi manual would be a good option :)

[@TheNorthernExplorer]

@@JKoverland the 300tdi is a good solid engine but slightly underpowered

[@shaunmccaw2911]

Very nice 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@TJ.Outdoor]

Can you share more about the cruise control, some images, i like to implement it also

[@JKoverland]

Everything on the donor mk2 went across including the cruise.

[@johnwillett4086]

Molly looks beautiful 👍😘 - but please tell me you fixed the problem where the footwells filled up with water every time you waded? And, yes, my two favourite videos of yours are "we shouldn't have done it" and the one when you went to the shops through the floods, with the water level over the bonnet. Most impressed. 👍

[@JKoverland]

Like a water crossing do we 😉 umm no still will let water in at a certain point 😆 but at least it stops you floating 😂

[@grumpychops8113]

Nice! So cool! Beautifully done and such an improvement.👍 Nice to see a little shot of Don there too!.. any word on what he's up to these days?🙂

[@JKoverland]

Glad you think so! Yes homage to Don our first 2.8 and it was a manual 🙂

[@JKoverland]

It went all over Africa was the last I did see a few years back 😎

[@mitsi_overland_adventures2691]

She’s looking the nuts. As they say Rome wasn’t built in a day but that’s coming on a treat.

[@JKoverland]

Taken a few years for sure. She's looking well these days!

[@mitsi_overland_adventures2691]

@@JKoverland 1 hundred percent. Funny part is though do we ever actually finish a build 🤣

[@dilipthushara4540]

Nice❤

[@JKoverland]

Thank you man 😁

[@ThomasJ-f6z]

That's amazing you got 29mpg! I get about 15 mpg with the 2.6L gas in an '88 SWB with the auto. I've been considering swapping the auto with a mk1 5 speed I have. Do you think it's worth the effort? Also, why did you decide to go with a mk2 drivetrain instead of mk1?

[@JKoverland]

I think the biggest difference in mpgs is replacing the old auto with a manual 👍 mk2 drive train is a lot stronger than mk1!

[@ThomasJ-f6z]

@@JKoverland ok, thanks for the info!

[@АнтонМаслов-з2п]

На свою Паджеро поставил Magnum 318. Очень плотно,прям тесно совсем...зато едет как боженька теперь.

[@milesbisiker2996]

Hi guys bit random we’re thinking of buying a Mitsubishi shotgun mk4 is this a good vehicle to buy

[@JKoverland]

Really good cars 👍
