Thanks a lot!

[@Tboffroadfab]

Dude! It sounds so good! Might have to hit you up for some advice on that Terminator kit, I’m leaning that way hard on using that kit but not 100% sure yet.

[@SamMatter]

I have nothing but good things to say about the kit so far! Super easy install!

[@blakemcdowell5986]

Sick dude! Can’t wait to see her on the trails

[@SamMatter]

Bro im so pumped!

[@altered_life]

So glad I was able to make it there for her first start. Great work buddy!! Excited to see it move under its own power

[@SamMatter]

You and me both! Guess ill invite you over that day too

[@brianbusch2840]

Nicely done. You may have more leaks once you get everything going over time. Within first 10K miles I had oil temp sensor leak, rear main seal leak and a few different coolant leaks spring up. Also one transmission leak that was easy fix. I put an 09 LS3 out of a C6 in my 2003 TJR and couldn’t be happier. 330 to the rear wheels after some tuning. Keep the updates coming, just subscribed.

[@SamMatter]

Oh im sure of it, Nature of the beast! But sounds like you got one hell of a Rubicon

[@johncourtneyscott2757]

It’s a beast

[@SamMatter]

Thanks! hopefully it stays together for awhile

[@motor1001]

Nice work!!! Looking forward to seeing it on the trail! 🔥💯🇺🇸

[@SamMatter]

Coming soon!

[@CodyHicks]

Hey Sam. Working on LS’s in my past. To fix that high Rev at the beginning. It all has to do with the throttle body. If you unplug it. It loses its memory. You need to plug in a high in OBD and help the computer relearn. Or if you can’t get an OBD reader that allows you you reset things. What you do is drain the battery, and it will fix itself. It’s not the right way and I’ve learned that if you decide to go that route. The throttle is a little more spongy. Causing you to lose power

[@SamMatter]

Thanks for input man! I just performed the Throttle body calibration on it through the Holley! Im not sweating it yet though, when it goes to the dyno im sure the tuner will work his way through all the calibrations and get it running right for me!

[@vicgustafson8514]

Sounds great. First time seeing a fuel filter inside the tub. Ya might want to make a guard to keep fuel from spraying on the back of your seat if the fittings leak. Can you put a link on the power steering pump? Ready for the next video. Lol

[@SamMatter]

Yeah I tossed back and forth on the Idea. On tube chassis Rock crawlers, the fuel system is often exposed in a similar fashion to the driver if there were a leak. I did spend entirely too much money on quality fittings for peace of mind that they arnt going to leak- Hoping with some preventative maintenance, bolt checks, and regular inspections I can keep that from happening. I Will likely add a cover over the regulator for that little extra protection like ya said! As far as power steering pump, there may not be a link yet. Currently working on the next video so ill take the time to go over the pump situation for ya,

[@vicgustafson8514]

@@SamMatter Thanks.

[@MadGreekOff-Road]
