The Ford 8.8 Swap In a TJ is Happening

[@jimhoran5445]

After watching your videos for years! I just realize you’re left-handed!

[@BackCountryWrenching]

Yes I am

[@darylpenner4563]

Master race haha

[@matthewfort3740]

Looking good Jerry.

[@danhambrick6331]

Yeah...Progress....👊👊👊

[@ssarkees]

I like watching your videos - pretty much same as me. TJ, LS Swap, 8.8 rear, Aussie Front locker, Detroit trutrac.

[@markalter886]

Jerry with all of your mechanical, electrical, fabrication and problem solving abilities you would make an exceptional technical school teacher!

[@righand]

You know why I watch this channel? Because it’s a one man show that makes shit happen and influences me to go better my skills by myself. Fuck up a few times and rework it.

[@MJ-xp9nz]

Hahah I like that you accepted defeat in the video. We will do another showdown since you are saying I won on a technicality because of your chain.

[@BackCountryWrenching]

is that what you think

[@jeremyjmailloux]

Jerry you better bump the ole green machine upto 80v

[@aubrey6942]

I seen them installed,those are heavy duty

[@BackCountryWrenching]

They sure are

[@tbag-2224]

Good ol Skil Brand... aka SkilSaw

[@23demolitionderbyman]

that chop saw is magic! - no sparks, very nice Jerry!

[@adan30marquezam]

Saw Cuba is opening back up for tourism. Any plans to go back down for some cigars?

[@BackCountryWrenching]

don't see any trips in the near future

[@GoatOffroad]

Great fabricating as usual Jerry! Can’t wait to see the TJ take on some hard stuff! Your confidence should go way up with the new setup! BTW… I forgot what gears are you running? ❤️🐞

[@BackCountryWrenching]

i'm running 4.56 gears

[@moabwheeling1305]

I like the direction your 8.8 swap is going . Those control arms are on point and look really good Jerry . Tomcat always looks so happy when his is in his crib chilling out . Looking forward to your next video my friend . Take care sir.

[@BackCountryWrenching]

They are beefy and shouldn’t have any issues at all

[@RobKingRC]

Heavy Duty control arms!!! Nice work Jerry!!

[@bsideadventures2180]

Lower control arms are on upside down

[@larryalexander4833]

I like to put some never sieze on the threads on the threads on bushing and hole saw. They get stuck quick

[@cameron339]

Jerry, when are you going to take the Arctic Cat out for a rip?

[@siliconvalleyengineer5875]

Wow Jerry, another major tear down and build up, I hope this rear diff project is completed quickly. It would be good to see you get back on the trails, exploring ghost towns and panning for gold.

[@chrisherrmann9627]

Are you going to run a C clip eliminator?

[@BackCountryWrenching]

No

[@losoj30]

Just wondering since you're doing all this why wouldn't you just do a 4 link suspension

[@BackCountryWrenching]

It’s factory 4 link already

[@CanadianGoldProspector]

Maybe a silly question...Will you powder coat the control arms? Thanks for sharing.✌ 🇨🇦😎🇨🇦 CGP

[@BackCountryWrenching]

I don’t have a oven big enough to powder coat them

[@JettRiver]

WE NEED A RANT VIDEO.

[@darylpenner4563]

How do the pinion bearings get oil with that steep diff angle

[@ericp824]

You can overfill it to get more oil up there. I put 3.5 quarts in my 8.8 although it isn't as steep. I have almost 10,000 miles on it so far without any issues. Bearings are still good and I don't have excess oil weeping out of the seals.

[@darylpenner4563]

@@ericp824 i figured overfilling would be required otherwise wouldn’t think they would survive long not designed to run those angles ordinarily

[@BackCountryWrenching]

i've heard of people putting 3.5 quarts and that's what i'll most likely do as well

[@scha0786]

Too late to do but curious why didn’t do a long arm setup. Tjs seem to ride really nice with them. Especially lifted ones, they almost ride like stock again.

[@monkeywentbananas]

Nice build so far! MFBT!
