[@danhambrick6331]

Nice job.That thing is a beast..😁💪👍👍👊

[@2AOverland]

I appreciate it man! It was a fun but bumpy trip 😂

[@caesar1295]

Nice build brother! Back in 1984 I ordered a K30 Chevrolet Custom Deluxe w/454ci, SM465 trans, 4:10 gears, dual tanks, A/C, & a few other things it took right at 4 months to arrive. I lived in St. Augustine, FL at that time and it sunk everywhere I took it because it weighed so much so after warranty was over I installed 11” of lift an put on TSL 15”x42”x16.5” Super Swampers and didn’t have anymore troubles in the sand or mud but everywhere I went all people saw was a wrecker to pull them out can’t tell you how many times that happened. I moved to Kennesaw, GA and ended up selling it to a friend from High School who made me promise to give him first refusal so he bought it and took it back to West Virginia to run the mountains. I sure wish I still owned that truck but needed a down payment for a house. It worked just as well in the mountains of WV as it did Fl. Great job and I envy your build you’ve done a great job so far plus I just found your channel and subscribed. 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

It turned out great!!! Are you going to put a roof tent and bed racks? or go a differant way? Oh what did you get for your mpg? Love it!

[@2AOverland]

Thank you so much! I am getting a bed rack for it and going to run our roof tent. The mpg isn’t the greatest in the hills maybe 10mpg but the highway it’s pretty good around 16-20 mpg

[@AZHighlandHomestead]

5psi rear and 7.5psi rear? Maybe I need to go lower. I air down the 33's on my 1987 K15 down to 20psi. What year is yours, what is your lift, and what size tires? Sorry if I missed it. Love this video. Really hoping for more content like this from you in the future. - Nick, Prescott, AZ

[@2AOverland]

First of all thanks for watching! Mines an 1982 with about 5in of lift and 37in tires. I’m only running those pressures cause I have beadlocks and don’t have to worry about popping a tire bead. If you’re not I’d run 10-15 at the absolute lowest. If you wanna catch up on the build from the beginning I have a playlist for the build on the channel 😎

[@AZHighlandHomestead]

ah, I heard 37's at the end of the video

[@2AOverland]

No worries!

[@moejr14]

Anybody can buy a new truck, cool guys keep old ones running.

[@2AOverland]

I couldn’t agree more! Keep the classics alive 😎👌🏼

[@IveGotDiabeetus]

Fantastic video! Beautiful drone shots of the Arizona desert. Can't wait to see more of your adventures with that badass truck!

[@2AOverland]

Thank you! I really tried to show off the scenery and the truck. We’ll be doing more adventures in the truck here shortly 😎

[@RustyCedarCo]

Love the sound of that 6.2. Truck looks great also. I'd recommend a set of ORD custom springs all the way around. Not cheap, but not near the price of a coil over conversion nor the time involved, and it's the perfect middle ground suspension between the stiff off-the-shelf springs and a coil over system. The truck will ride MUCH better than it does now and be way more comfortable.

[@2AOverland]

That’s definitely the route I’m going 😎

[@recon6975]

I'll be RVing out in your area next week. Unfortunately I won't have my XJ this trip but, I'm definitely looking forward to enjoying some Kilt Lifters!

[@2AOverland]

No worries! The weather is beautiful out here so you’ll love it!

[@JeepYJing]

Awesome video I was the guy talking to you in the Jeep in the beginning of the trail with the kid thanks for the patch.

[@2AOverland]

Yep! It was great to meet you and your son Randy! 😊

[@long-jeep]

It's great to see you on the trail enjoying the fruits of your labors. What are your camping set up plans? Topper, ground tent, elevated tent?

[@2AOverland]

Thanks for that. It felt great to see the truck out in the rocks and not having any issues. Were getting a bed rack for the truck for our RTT, awning and shower room

[@treyshumardcampoutwestus3702]

I love those trucks, I drove my dad's in high school! It wasn't as cool as yours though.

[@2AOverland]

Can’t beat that! I wish I had a time machine to go back in the day and drive one of these new off the lot!

[@bencarlson726]

When flexed on the rock, the passenger side front brake line looked like it was pretty tight. Might want to check that.

[@2AOverland]

Good observation! I’ll see what I can do to extend it. Maybe even longer brake lines for the front

[@heavymetaloff-road]

Loved the video!

[@2AOverland]

Thank you!!

[@floranfauna3090]

Awesome build! Do you remember the offset or backspacing of the racelines?

[@2AOverland]

Thank you so much! I wanna say they’re 4.5in of backspacing 😬

[@Marcus_Woodard]

Another option for tire clearance in the front is to add ORD zero rate add a leaf kit. You can move the front axle forward an inch or so.

[@2AOverland]

I already pushed the axle forward an inch with that kit 😅 I might trim a little bit and if it still rubs I’ll push it forward to 1.5 inches.

[@Marcus_Woodard]

@@2AOverland Ah ok

[@Kyle-ev4fk]

you're a goober. nice truck, ima sucker for a brown squarebody. I'm not sure it's a good overland vehicle though. poor gas mileage and poor ride quality.

[@2AOverland]

You’re entitled to your opinion 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Kyle-ev4fk]

@@2AOverland opinion? those are all facts.

[@OddBallCherokee]

Hey just wondering I got a 93 xj country and was thinking about doing the cowl intake but it’s my daily driver. How loud is the noise inside? I saw the other video also

[@2AOverland]

It’s decently loud but you get used to it and after a while you don’t even notice it. I think it’s a good trade off and worth the install
