So stoked!!! Thank you for the amazing video. I had way too much fun filming with you all!

This was a lot of fun to film. Especially riding in the back 😅

I’ve seen pictures of this Jeep in various EV conversion groups and it’s always impressed me how cleanly done everything is. I’m (slowly) working on rebuilding and converting a 56 CJ5, and I’ll be taking a bit different approach, but I really love the way this one was done too.

[@TorqueMountainEV-iw1xd]

Thanks!! Jeeps are so classic. Electric powertrains are really perfect for Jeeps in a lot of use cases too.

[@JeremyMakesThings]

@@TorqueMountainEV-iw1xd exactly. It’s not something I’m going to want to drive long distances around high speeds. It’s fine if it tops out at 55, but it would pull a trailer up a cliff face at 55😆

[@TorqueMountainEV-iw1xd]

@@JeremyMakesThings Definitely! The torque potential of these EV off-road builds is enormous!!

Thanks - share the word out (and the video!) 💪🏻

Great conversion! 👏👏👏

Thanks!

Phenomenal 🎉 ! Awesome looking car. Kyle seems like a really cool dude

Jerome you looked like you had plenty of fun on the test drive 😉⚡️💯

Always, but yes it was awesome

Luv it! 😎👍

What a great conversion on Jeep :) Would love to see someone converting to EV the 1950s Dodge Power Wagon

[@chrisgilpin194]

That volt battery pack works great!! Love it

[@marvelpinnock3553]

It would be great to see a plugin hybrid wrangler jeep, converted to fully electric also oem electric off road vehicles, vs diy electric converted jeeps and other 4x4 conversion electric.

[@billbayer5526]

Love it! What are the diff ratios? Not too sure about the steering wheel though...

[@TorqueMountainEV-iw1xd]

Thanks!. 2.72 gears in the diffs--the lowest I could find ever being made for the Dana 44's. The overall drive ratio is 24:1. ... hahaha!
