I'm always glad to be finished with any project, but I will be sad to see this one go. It was a blast to work on this XJ, and I cant wait to show you guys what the next project is!
LT.. An episode on your thoughts of a Frankenstein build would be cool or if somebody has that build like seeing different manufacturers equipment working with one another.. like for me my Frankenstein truck. Is a Cummins (dodge) with a Allison transmission( gm) with banks turbo(s) (ford) would like to hear your insight on what you like from different manufacturers and if you do a build like that.
@@702bikelife2 I’m pretty interested in what LT charged you also. I had a hemi installed in a tj by an outfit in Detroit. They charged me about $7,000 with me providing most of the parts.
That thing comes alive when you put your foot in it. I thought that big magnaflow was going to be pretty quiet when you installed it. She has a nice growl. -t shirt ordered. 👍
Hell yeah gearheads live for moments like this. Hearing a bad ass engine in an awesome ride. I really want to do an engine upgrade on my XJ, can’t decide wether to go with a 4.0 strokes to 4.7 or go with an LS upgrade. Biggest concern for me is I head out far from home on overlanding trips and I need the rig to be very reliable. Thanks for inspiration!!!!
That was a great series. I loved watching you on Truck Tech and love your channel. Wishing you much success and good fortune. And the scenery around you neighborhood, with the lake and mountains is beautiful. 🤙🏻🇺🇸🛠
I don't know what MPG it's going to get , the 4.0 was getting 10.5 MPG gotta be better than that but the SPG (Smiles Per Gallon) is going to be off the chart!
Yes, more gas usage... but if you've got the kind of money to do this kind of an extensive build,... money for some extra gas is typically not a problem.
LT, I had a 2006 Rubicon (TJ) with the 4.0 straight six. No joke, I used to ease it up to some pretty gnarly hills, put it in 4L, 1st gear and just ease off the clutch. It would idle up them. Great motor! I replaced it with a 2010 Rubicon (JK) with the 3.whatever V6. That motor would not repeat the trick. Not enough torque at that low of an RPM. They were both great off-road, but the JK was better on the highway. lol. Next Rubicon will be the new one with the Hemi in it.
Use a nice miter saw with a fine tooth, above 60T, carbide blade. Makes a real accurate smooth cut in aluminum, it is what we use to cut the frames when building aluminum patio rooms.
I loved this particular series and build as I am getting ready to do this exact swap in my wife's 1996 XJ Cherokee. Your attention to detail is top notch nice job.
I have a super clean xj rig ive been fixing up looking to swap in the near future, after seeing your very hard and very clean work i would look forward to have u be the one doin the swap 👍💪
I like to change the idle speed and let the engine idle and learn all over the place until I'm certain it won't stall. That helps develop a base fuel map under no load. On my sniper, I can adjust the idle from 400 to 2500rpms. If it knows the fuel requirements from 400 to 2500 under no load, you're less likely to get stranded. It makes the first drive a lot more enjoyable. My closed loop compensation often flutters between 0% and -0% while cruising. Seeing as much as 2% is a big change. She's pretty dialed in after running on my daily driver.
I love an XJ with a 4.0 and gears..I love a 5.3 or 6.0 too. I'm kinda torn. I know no one asked but I think I'd stick with the 4.0. Looks and sounds great though 👍👍
I daily drive my xj on a 3" lift and 33" tires. Ive got 4.56 gears so a little high but on road cruising at 75 and even 80 there is no steering wheel shake or anything. The low center of gravity and wider wheel base really makes the thing feel planted. Makes me want to LS swap mine or maybe even 1jz swap as ive seen someone do before.
Such an awesome build I really like it! I think i would've tried to put the air filter in the cowl like the THOR intake if space allowed, it looks pretty tight though. Nice job!
@@euba0149 perhaps because it was already rolling with a huge speed advantage? If you watch the video, LT slows down and you see the Subi coming up in the rear-view carrying way more speed than the XJ, it's already going around the XJ before LT even floors it and the XJ downshifts and starts to accelerate. Oh, and it is an STi too...

Awesome build!! I did find the bit where you pre-fitted the intake tube and marked it before cutting to be unnecessary since you put it in a rubber elbow.😄I probably would have done that and then been my own worse critique. 🙃
Sweet xj man, I have a 2 door that is a long work in progress but i've always loved these two door xjs so it might take a while to get her where I want it, but by god i'll get there! Till then i'll watch guys like you and keep me motivated!
I dig the new shirt. The family crest one isn't really my style. American flag? Check. Tolman Performance? One of my favorite TH-cam channels. Check. Ugly truck? Hell yeah. Check. I'm in dude. Glad to see the xj running. On to the next badass project. Can't wait to see what's next. The channel is getting close to your goal. You'll hit a point and then explode.
My jeep 4.0 got about 16 mpg.. the 4.7 stroker with large cam got 21mpg. My 5.3 94 bronco gets 20mpg. My square body 2wd checy woth 5.3 gets 25 mpg.. corvetts and camaroa get 25 to 30mpg.. more power doesnt mean more gas used.. more power means easier to move weight with less fuel and the cherpkee is a light vehicle
I got a 2001 Chevy suburban 4 wheel drive 3/4 ton that I put the 408 cubic in LS and it which makes it a 6.7 l it has 555tq at the crank 361tq on the ground
I just stumbled on your channel with this video, and noticed Mount Timpanogos in one of your shots. Pretty cool to see someone in Utah, looks like you were on the opposite side of Utah lake from me.
I would have liked to have seen a more in depth look at how you wired everything as I'm thinking hard about doing this swap because my 4oh! Popped a piston.
You can come get mine lol it’s a 89 with a 4.0 5spd it’s “stock”ish just has a stainless steel header with a 2.5in exhaust that was custom with a 95 intake and 60mm throttle body

Is there a way to install a 350 sbc with long tube headers? I know the XJ has limited space but I don't like the hugger headers at all.
I have a jeep that needs a swap! Let me know if you willing to take on another project
This is right next to where I live! Nice to see another XJ on that trail
Love it, can't wait to come get behind the wheel and test the seat of the pants dyno! See you in a couple of weeks.
Not sure if previously mentioned but if you don’t mind can you say what you paid ?

@@richardpulliam5475 That's pretty close, including having the drive shafts rebuilt and battery relocated.
@@702bikelife2 about $7k
@@jimmyburks7030 what part of Texas you in? I’m in the dfw area, would love to wheel with you.
Absolutely love the fact that it's not loud, and obnoxious.
Pronouns ?
This swap is goals for my current XJ project
I have a 1992 XJ with a stock 4.0. I live in Ogden, so whenever you do a meet and greet, I will bring it and you are welcome to drive it.
Thats awesome. I actually used to have a 96 xj that I ls swapped. 5.3/4l60e/hybrid np231j. It was crazy fun to drive around.
That thing comes alive when you put your foot in it. I thought that big magnaflow was going to be pretty quiet when you installed it. She has a nice growl.
-t shirt ordered. 👍
I was happy to hear the sound as well, I was worried it would be a little too quiet, but it turned out perfect in my opinion
Holley makes some cool CAN network gauges that piggy back on each other I plan to use with my LS project
I wish we had seen your project earlier. We would have enjoyed working with you on the project. Neat XJ! 👍

I think we just seen every dump truck in Utah during the road footage! Holy buckets!!
It’s definitely starting to be construction season here lol.
Hey keep in mind when your cutting aluminum, you can use wood blades in a chop saw and for sheets a plain old circular saw and wd40
11:48
VERY NICE BEAD ON THAT ! !
NICE WELD SIR !
thanks! I always struggle with Aluminum
That was a great series. I loved watching you on Truck Tech and love your channel. Wishing you much success and good fortune. And the scenery around you neighborhood, with the lake and mountains is beautiful. 🤙🏻🇺🇸🛠
"It'll pass everything...except a gas station!" 😁
It probably gets better gas mileage than it did in the first place
I don't know what MPG it's going to get , the 4.0 was getting 10.5 MPG gotta be better than that but the SPG (Smiles Per Gallon) is going to be off the chart!
Yes, more gas usage... but if you've got the kind of money to do this kind of an extensive build,... money for some extra gas is typically not a problem.
Very cool project! I’ve enjoyed every single episode!
Take a little crazy glue to the crack in the window drip rail. Definitely better than the 4.0L in my TJ!
I have a 1992 Cherokee Laredo Jeep in good condition no rust thinking about the same
Seems to accelerate at part throttle really easily, and sounds really good. I'm sure the customer will be pleased.
After attending lsfest all I can think about is an ls swap into my 2000 S10. This build makes me want to do it even more!

With a lot of work and dedication it’s amazing what someone can accomplish. My goal is to be this talented
Use a nice miter saw with a fine tooth, above 60T, carbide blade. Makes a real accurate smooth cut in aluminum, it is what we use to cut the frames when building aluminum patio rooms.
Come out to California, my son just bought one with a 6” and 33”s. I’m sure that he would let you wheel it!🤘🏻
Great job LT. You have the same problem as me while driving the LS XJ, every time you step on the loud paddle you smile.
yeah, it definitely gives it a different feel on the street for sure. you gotta be on your toes
I loved this particular series and build as I am getting ready to do this exact swap in my wife's 1996 XJ Cherokee. Your attention to detail is top notch nice job.
How is it going with the swap
Very cool! I've been daily driving my 01 XJ that I swapped a 6.0 into for 5 or so years. It's bulletproof, and lots of fun.
This is going to be my daily driver/weekend warrior, can't wait to get behind the wheel for the first time.
Best part of the whole series was at 25:00. Mission Accomplished!! Nice job
Use a wood blade on the chop saw to cut aluminum. Works great.
Awesome work LT!!! Sounds amazing & I see it put a smile on face push that load peddle down!!!!!
I have a super clean xj rig ive been fixing up looking to swap in the near future, after seeing your very hard and very clean work i would look forward to have u be the one doin the swap 👍💪
This is the biuld that I want to do for my Jeep Cherokee Laredo project
As usual, your attention to detail, both in the build and in the presentation, are top shelf.
Portaband for the tube sawing 👍
nice, love the last launch, never see a jeepster jump out like that!

LT, that intro totally reminded me of the neighborhood of Edward Scissorhands. Just creepily in the middle of nowhere!
I just new you could not resist burning up some of his nice off road tires.
I definitely want this done to my 2-Door XJ!
Jeep looks awesome ,Love the stance on the jeep.. had a 2001 but 4 door.. loved it, ls swapp was the plan but had to sell it..
I love an XJ with a 4.0 and gears..I love a 5.3 or 6.0 too. I'm kinda torn. I know no one asked but I think I'd stick with the 4.0. Looks and sounds great though 👍👍
I would of loved to see a before, 0-60 and then an after 0-60! But besides that a wonderful video! Double thumbs up!
Nice way to end the build, waiting to get my project off putting a 5.3 into my tahoe
My 96. Xj got ripped off, but I'm loving that build 😎
Your fabrication and tig skills are outstanding! Loved watching this build as an XJ owner myself.
Sounds great. Congrats on the first build for a customer now that you're on your own. Cant wait to see what's next, LT
Congrats on a successful completion to the project.
Your not missing much on the 4.0 liter.. reliable but much in the power side of things..
i see you watching for the po-po in the rearview on those pulls!
Now that is a big success! Those aluminum welding skills are awesome!

But the Subaru still passed it basicalllh effortlessly

@@tjadamsZ06 it’s okay to be slow lol . I spend my whole trying to make slow shit fast
You can loosen up the steering box a bit or drop 8 lbs out of the tires to smooth the steering out.
That’s awesome. I miss my xj. Only thing I’d change is make it a little louder
Man this a awesome video, and a Texas Jeep! I just picked my donor up today, 03 5.3 can’t wait. Although I’ll be keeping the AW4
Loved the burnout at the end, was hoping to see that lol. Great job LT
Awesome build!! I did find the bit where you pre-fitted the intake tube and marked it before cutting to be unnecessary since you put it in a rubber elbow.😄I probably would have done that and then been my own worse critique. 🙃
That was absolute Awesome. I have a 99 XJ that i would Love to do an ls swap someday ! Cheers
thats an awesome swap, you should post up customers reactions
you can most certainly run a gas lens with AC, like 6-8 size. you may be confusing using something like those really large glass cups.
Clean and absolutely OCD about a perfect install. You did it again!
thanks!
Very cool! I have a 2001 4 door XJ in the same color and eventually want to do a LS swap. Awesome video series 👍
Nice attention to detail. Your work is very nicely done. If I had the money I would have you do my XJ too.
Looks amazing at hill climb. Lots of power.

Super cool build man you killed this install 👌
You're an Amazing Mechanic Man!
Thanks 👍
Looking good! Great job on the build LT! What's next?
A ZJ with an LS9....
KMC machetes are the wheels. Had the same wheels and tires on my XJ
23:15 In Morgan Freemams voice: and he never did. He was too busy with the other projects
Awesome job LT, it sounds nasty n hopefully we'll see some wheeling action soon!
Fingers crossed!
I would have liked to have seen a more in depth look at how you wired everything as I'm thinking hard about doing this swap because my 4oh! Popped a piston.
Man that is an awesome build. I’ve got a four door xj with a five speed. I would have to figure out how to get it with a stick.
With an adopter the gages can display on that stereo screen
You can come get mine lol it’s a 89 with a 4.0 5spd it’s “stock”ish just has a stainless steel header with a 2.5in exhaust that was custom with a 95 intake and 60mm throttle body

Damn really wish I had the funds to build something this cool or at least LS swap my XJ
Excellent work bro!
great build.....build one of these trucks with a hemi would make great content...?
Oh Man!! I've been considering LS swapping mine. What was the total investment on that?
I’ll be Happy if I can find me a old xj and stuff my 4.8 and trans from my pick up into it..
Nice job man!
Sweet ride
Outstanding work Sir
Many thanks
Awesome job LT.Runs great on asphalt but how 'bout some dirt action or some rock crawlin"?
So overall what would something like that cost? I have a 98 xj 4 door and have thought about doing this but I'm all over the board about it.
Very nice setup
Yes! I love my XJs!!!
As a 4.0 owner i can tell you NIGHT/DAY difference 😂
