Turning this LS-powered 1970 Jeep Wagoneer into the Dragoneer! | Roadkill Garage

[@MAGLtd-hh3ct]

Nice to see Chappelle back on some episodes, hope he becomes a regular again!👍🇨🇦

[@AdventuringwiththeS.G.O.C.C]

I saw Chappelle on Vice Grip Garage with Derick and he was masterful. Glad to see y'all doing this project. Freiburger needs to drop a 4-post lift at Steves shop/

[@overyonderjustapiece]

No. Steve has PLENTY of money to be able to do that himself if he wants to. I think very early in the RG show Fryburger said that Steve owns all those fields and grows grapes for either his own or other vineyards in Commiefornia.

[@Louzahsol]

It would ruin the home garage feel of this show

[@Mark_Proton]

I always assumed they don't have a hoist because the idea of RKG is that it's a weekend warrior doable job.

[@Jayhawkga]

@@overyonderjustapiece I've seen Dulcich branded grapes in my local grocery store. I live 25 miles East of Atlanta.

[@Brinaas2003]

He doesn't own them, his family does.

[@bradinch1563]

so glad Dave is back

[@grantbuxton2108]

Glad you guys got the band back together

[@WilliamKiene]

7 million subscribers? Unreal. It is just a gift to me because at almost 80 years old my wrenching days are over, but this is so cool to watch. Back in the 1960s, there were very few after-market parts like there is today. Fabrication was the limiting factor. The three guys all have different knowledge and skills. They are my heroes. Thanks guys.

[@Charlieswirld]

The car gods were smiling on this build. Everything just fell in to place like almost never happens. Better get a lotto ticket while you're at it.

[@dansoutdoors2199]

I really enjoyed seeing what you guys did with the old Wagoneer! Thanks for bringing it back to life! And thanks for everything you do for car culture.

[@19ebenezer77]

Dave is everywhere! Love it!

[@williamstamper442]

Welcome to easiest engine swap motor mount episode ever. That would have made my day too.

[@tomeickhorst6787]

We need some new Roadkill and Roadkill Garage episodes

[@daanprins6730]

This is one of my favorite projects of yours ! Please show us more

[@lucasguimaraes3586]

Great to see Chapelle back on the episodes!

[@larryjohnson7591]

That is going to be one unique hot rod for the track. Thanks for including me in the build.

[@bigcountry5865]

I love to see they still have the Cougar. For those who have filled Roadkill Garage, that was their first vehicle on the channel. I'd really like to see an update as to how far she's come over the years.

[@chuck_machine]

Hopefully still has the Cleveland in it too.

[@douggrunberg]

Thank you guys!!

[@ryansmith7974]

Still the best car show on KZbin.

[@joshcoffin4869]

Super fun build, love your vision for the Dragoneer David. Yeah I know it’s already done, I’m just walking through the build. It’s awesome 👏🏻

[@localcrew]

That hood ornament is LIT!

[@johnbehneman1546]

I LOVE IT!!! A TOTALLY AWSOME BUILD!!!! THANK YOU TO ALL THE BRANDS AND PRODUCTS USED IN THIS SWAP!!!!

[@patsquach4080]

I am. Here. Because. I. Owned. A. Jeep wagoneer …. Great unit !!!

[@Average_Brad]

Always fun to see a ballistic brick that has no business goin' fast. lol

[@johnboticki9154]

Had a 1978 Cherokee and have always wanted you to actually do/finish this!

[@OKHall]

Pretty sweet ride. Love the Jeep Cherokee. Cant wait to see it finished.

[@danieltaylor6489]

Awesome, I can't wait till it's finished

[@everyhome9936]

Awesome idea and build. Badazz that the trans tunnel is removable, makes the job easier!

[@johnbehneman1546]

THANK YOU, DAVE, DAVID AND STEVE,!!!!

[@jonathangehman4005]

I really dig that that sweet old wagon didn't have to get butchered for the swap. What I thought was sort of a dumb idea is now FREAKIN AWESOME. I hope it runs a 9.9

[@Rom3_29]

My dad had a 76 white Grand Wagoner. Very nice ride.

[@Guardducks]

I liked Dave's comment . It's like catching a sword fish when they yanked the engine , which was true .

[@stevecanyon23]

Wow, another great job. This baby is going to be fun.

[@citrus1973]

Such a blessing when things fall into place.

[@toddclark332]

My three favorite Musketeers👌😁

[@michealduffy9300]

Need to see more of the Dragoneer

[@ericquatkemeyer7084]

Can't wait to see it completed

[@Friskee62]

When?

[@TheCowboy1973]

Going smooth. Too smooth.

[@honeyforce996]

More Dave & Dave! An improved mixture of affordability:longevity. It's nice to see projects that run more than a week - anyone can turn $5000 into a running car for a week

[@therustyduck5400]

You guys made that look WAyyyyy to Easy! Very cool Dragoneer!

[@JoeReese-kh1jc]

Here for Dave....

[@johnbehneman1546]

THANK YOU, SUMMIT RACING!!!!

[@imaldon1]

I had a 1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer with the smooth running AMC 5.9-liter or 360 cubic-inch V-8. Fond memories back then.😊

[@motocrossriders2002]

AMC made a helluva good motor...

[@hugoagogo2156]

Best choice for the wheels&tires.

[@terrystines2536]

This is a AWESOME BUILD !!!!!

[@MrDeticus]

This hurts my heart so much. I love Wagoneers and the color orange.

[@DennisLorden]

Amazing. I really like this build

[@steadyeddie-kis]

We owned a cherokee cheif and I reget selling it all the time. You go guys, love the idea.

[@robert23497]

I'm not stoked on this. I'm stoked ABOUT this.

[@bioshock425]

Awesome. Wish I could build cool cars like you guys

[@brandonfuchs3499]

You guys rule Awesome episode!

[@patofdubois1]

Gonna be a cool truck!!

[@oliverrobey6973]

God I wish I could see more of it

[@alexcorona]

Make Chappell a permanent host!

[@FreeUpTheWeed]

His KZbin channel is doing really well, don’t know if he’d accept a host position after they canned DED when he was co-hosting with Fred

[@garyfreeman2254]

More Dave please!

[@lamarzimmermanmennonitefar5269]

I'm glad your back. I wasn't going to pay a subscription, this is nice ,thanks

[@erinschlameus3628]

There few Ferrari powered Jeep Grand Wagoner's called the Jerrar!!

[@BlackbeardJohnson]

Dude that thing needs an 88 mm Chinese war whistle, badly..

[@roushhandymangarage5468]

😊 I love it I don't even know where to begin happy and I love it old school and new school

[@topperthompson580]

Pulled alot of Suburban's hung up on there frames with my 401 Wagoner!

[@drivewaystar6485]

You should find a pinstripe guy and have him paint the vines back on the Jeep

[@ededdynova]

Love seeing Dave Shapple back ❤

[@conanhall1]

Well. They fit real well.

[@TireSlayer55]

Miss my 1969 Wagoneer that looked just like Dave's green one pictured here... that's one vehicle I really wish I hadn't sold.

[@waynesmith-rl7uw]

Cool build!

[@ojbarberena7090]

Fun project

[@DuaneBlaisdell]

Creativity love it.

[@oliverrobey6973]

When are we going to see more of those I want to see it finished

[@terryboone6746]

I love the mid 50's Cadillac hood ornament. I like the fact that they used Buick engines and I have to wonder if anyone swapped in a 430 or 455 Buick.

[@shanewright6958]

Looking good 👍👍

[@Nirre43]

U need to bring the Wagon to Classic Car Week 👍

[@ericearhart]

The no fab engine swap. Mint!

[@joaomateuscordeiropinto6030]

"Dulcitch will be that guy": shoutout to Dulcitch, yo!

[@Donny.C.wlWilliams]

Fax

[@darrenbeattie1298]

Having a Chappelle is key.

[@mobygodfrey4936]

The rest we need the rest of this build

[@mathewhyland8925]

it's really great when a few mates come together and put in better parts for an old girl .

[@Funtimes670]

$1k in Jeep, $10k in labor, $20k in parts and you can have priceless fun all the time!

[@theduke2398]

Glad to see the cougar

[@willardjsullivan8394]

I miss my 75 Wagoneer after watching this

[@joe44ism]

Yeah I have days like that. Not the greatest days but it happens

[@chrishamman9432]

Enjoyed chapelle when he was on dirt everyday

[@Tharealcrowesnest]

I had a 1966 and it had the ole Vigilante 327 AMC V8

[@shadymaint1]

I changed the master cylinder in my s10 5.3 swap project. Had to shorten my pushrod a little bit.

[@miriamvillarreal-wilson6418]

Oh, there's a hole in the fork blade. That's how the chain is pinned with a screwdriver. I thought it was just on the edge of the blade, and was wondering how it wasn't falling off the edge.

[@marioncobaretti2280]

I have a 70 , wish I could have those stripped out parts

[@michaelreidy740]

You need to go over all of those weird vine lines on the paint with a pinstripe brush. Then paint buff up the old paint and clear the whole thing. It is meant to be.

[@andrewmarshall360]

Had a j20 pickup that was pretty sweet

[@jbr496]

Would be kinda cool to adapt a Trailblazer all wheel drive set up in the Jeep to go Trackhawk hunting with it.

[@keenanandrews3692]

My next door neighbour had one that looked just like that one.But it was an Iternational,Travel All.

[@joshe465]

The whole reason the project exists is because Wagoneer has an A and a G together in its name. So Freiberger

[@themacgyverinstitute5340]

Great project, drag n drive deal ?

[@JerryM-p2v]

Any dream can happen when all your parts are sponsored....... And free.

[@codymoe4986]

Quit wasting your time, whining on KZbin, and use it to make money for new parts...

[@rediron44]

I wanna watch this entire episode. Is it on Max

[@mikewazowski6161]

Roadkill♥

[@mikescott1307]

Love it..😄

[@JamesBlackwood-fi5qh]

I'm never this early. Strange.

[@royady5558]

I rarely get to watch rkg anymore, I didn't switch or had trouble switching to the new platform.

[@andyashcroft9316]

what front axle kit did you use?🤔

[@rickywhite7578]

Converting the front axle?? What about the bump steer issue that straight axle will have??

[@snapon666]

this is old when do we get to see the second episode ?> what is the weight now as a roller with all parts installed ?

[@Toddscomp2]

If any project needed a Hellcat motor this did.

[@codymoe4986]

Because a 1000 hp LS, isn't good enough?? P.S. That motor literally leapt into the engine bay and tucked itself in...I'd say they made a good choice.

[@Toddscomp2]

@@codymoe4986 not that it wasn't an easy install or that it wasn't good enough. Because it's a jeep and they could have used a Trackhawk transfer case and had all wheel drive. SMH

[@TireSlayer55]

There's a guy who built a RWD full size Cherokee (basically the 2 door Wagoneer) with a turbo'ed new gen Hemi, I think he's shooting for single digit 1/4 mile passes...

[@glennhudgens4709]

i know your going drag racing but what if you had a all wheel drive drag truck? i think you might have enjoyed it even more!

[@codymoe4986]

If AWD was the best option for drag racing, why aren't more top teams and classes utilizing it?

[@RR-iv6fm]

Dolcich; what angle did you set the caster to on the front axle? Just curious…
