I really have to catch up on your videos. Love the work so far!!
Thank you so much! I'm feeling the pressure admittedly to get this running ASAP so I get some miles on it before I go to Moab next year!
I really have to catch up on your videos. Love the work so far!!
Awesome job! You have way more patience that I do dialing in the turbo and fuel like that!! Unreal. And how you crammed all that hardware under the hood!? Great job....I'm very impressed ......
Hey Grant. I just finished your most recent video and have to drop this here because it was stuck in my head the whole time I watched the video.
Great job BTW. It may make your life easier if you just deflate the tires when you reinstall the engine since you mentioned the increased tire size made it more difficult.
Wow, big changes. Are you keeping the engine in the same spot or also moving the mounts so you can use a different cooling system setup?
You're running out of steam man, and I get it.
When I was forced to sell my last khaki TJ I promised I would never go through build like that again. It was so time consuming, and what I really wanted to be doing was driving and enjoying the vehicle, whereas most of the time I was working on it or it was in the shop.
So when I was in the market again, I decided that this time around I was either going to buy one and keep it very mild, or buy one that was already built to hell. Builds like this wear you thin eventually, I totally get that.
Hopefully you'll have it 100% done sometime in the near future. I'd much rather see you out driving and enjoying it.
Hey @Chris I really appreciate it. In a way yes and in a way no. Having driven the diesel really helped restock me truthfully if that makes sense. I'm actually planning out my LJ Rubicon build right now, I want to have all the parts on hand so I can do that build in maybe 6 months vs the 2 years this build has taken. Though in-between building my LJ I'll be wheeling this TJ.
I guess what I'm wondering now is should I just go back to the AW4, install the new one I bought, install the new torque converter, re-install the doubler and run my build that way and just worry about going to the 6r80 transmission later?
It's the question of doing it right versus having it done now if that makes sense. I have no doubt in my mind that going to the 6r80 is going to give me the best performance out of my diesel engine, but I'm stuck waiting on alot of parts, where as I have everything for the AW4 right now.
The thought of going to Moab next year has really helped with all the crazy of 2020 and I'm not liking the idea of missing it because I was waiting on parts to come.
