    I sold my LJ Rubicon earlier this year

    Earlier this year when the used car market was crazier than it is right now I sold my LJ Rubicon. I still have my Right Hand Drive TJ Wrangler Sport that I'll never sell, though I never expected to sell the LJ either. The plan had always been to diesel swap it with my Liberty CRD as the donor...

    SOLD DIY NP231 Doubler Kit

    Hey TJers, I bought this kit years ago and then went a different route with my build. This is a kit that takes the front section of a NP231 and makes it a doubler. I am missing a few of the fasteners but some of each fastener is included so you can use those to replace the missing pieces...

    Building a diesel powered RHD TJ Wrangler (Picture Heavy)

    Hey Tjers, After a few mishaps I switched my focus to getting the interior reassembled in my diesel swap TJ Wrangler. I decided to add sound deadening under my carpet and move where my TCU was mounted while reinstalling the dashboard and wiring as well. So I'll start with the failures. I...

    Hey TJers, I got this custom power steering reservoir installed and made new high pressure lines to go from my VW TDI power steering pump to my Hydroboost Brake Booster and then to my Power Steering box as well on my BEW TDI Wrangler. When I originally installed the Kubota V2403, I made the...

    Radiator replacement quick connect transmission cooler lines

    Thanks for the mention @CharlesHS, however when it came time to replace my radiator I was already in the middle of diesel and transmission swap so I can't say if the above parts will work or not. I can tell you that you need to keep the brackets that are bolted to your radiator. I got a...

    Building a diesel powered RHD TJ Wrangler (Picture Heavy)

    Hey TJers, Started working on figuring out how I'm going to run all the coolant lines on my BEW TDI in my Right Hand Drive TJ Wrangler. As with everything on this swap, it was more complicated than I thought it would be and I'm having to wait on parts again, but at least I know how to make it...

    A running vehicle does feel like I'm miles ahead of where I was last week, and I'm dreading the list I have isn't even close to all the things I still need to do before I can call this good enough to get it inspected. You'll get there as well, I keep trying to get up to date on your build, but I...

    It really was great to hear it start and stay running. Now that I've engine running, I'm realizing how much work I still have left. Vacuum Lines (Turbo and HVAC system) Fabricate High Pressure Power Steering Lines (For Hydroboost Brakes and Power Steering) Figure out cooling lines (For TDI...

    Hey TJers, This is going to be a long post. After weeks now of trying to get my BEW TDI to start and stay running in my TJ Wrangler, I finally figured out all the issues I was having. Two were my own fault however the last issue was a wiring issue in the harness that I bought from Fast Forward...

    Hey TJers, Well it seems in my rush to get my BEW running, I'm having to troubleshoot and repair additional issues I caused. Always check to see which way you connect the fuel lines to the tandem pump, this is becoming a more costly lesson than anticipated. I got my replacement tandem pump...

    There is a seal kit but I wasn't able to get it here from a reputable source for a while (ie not cheap knock off kit), it's back ordered, so I'm going to keep the pump but just replace with with a Hella/Peirsburg Tandem Pump and rebuild my original one when I can get the seals in.

    Hey TJers, In my excitement of trying to get my BEW TDI to start in my TJ Wrangler, I hooked up the supply and return lines backwards on the Tandem Pump damaging the seals in it. If anything it's an adventure for sure. Here is the video if you want to watch: I've been buttoning up all the...
