Stop saying your sorry!!!! Videos like these are awesome. Make them super long! All this technical info is really valuable. Thanks for the work.
just so you know, your videos are really nice. they are a race of informations and your personality makes it even better. its a "if you don't have it, you wont have it" thing. lots of other channels out there but nothing like yours. Oh... don't get burned out, take care of you.
Thank you!
Guy wants a hellcat and you tell him to get a Cummins four times in a row. I couldn’t stop laughing
Lol I'm glad someone found it funny 😂
It was perfect! Gassers are so over rated.
Its even funnier because I just bought a diesel Jeep :)
Hahahaha
I’d personally never put Cummins in a wrangler but I could totally see doing an old gladiator like nates with a Cummins
There is a guy around Osceola that swapped a 6bt and nv4500 into a TJ.
Love it! Such a humble guy! Making that hard choice to quit your day job is definitely working out for you. Keep it up!!
Thank you buddy, I appreciate the kind words 👍
One of the things that make your videos good is how you present yourself in the video. You talk like we are in the shop with you and that makes the difference. You present the information from your experience and not from a "I know everything" attitude.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
I enjoy your videos. No fluff, no bs and most importantly no rambling. Just straight to the point and entertaining. We get the instruction we need in a timely matter and thats awesome. I don't have to watch an hours worth of ramblings to get 30 mins of instruction. Keep up the good work with the awesome videos!
This video needs more likes. This man is handing out free knowledge. This channel is gonna blow up.
Thanks brother 🤘
It has been blowing up, 100K subs in less than a year is incredible and he’s very talented and humble. Such a GREAT DUDE.
Nate, you're the man. Instead of searching through hundreds of different videos, I can come to your channel and get just about everything figured out. After watching your videos I was able to figure out how to swap out the rear axle in my 03' TJ, without destroying the whole jeep lol. I have no fabrication experience and your videos have given me the confidence and knowledge to work on my own rig. Since finding your channel I have added a bunch of tools and a welder to my collection and every week I am able to do more and more to the jeep. Thanks again for the countless hours of filming and editing and keep up the great work.
P.S. I'm located in Utah so next time you plan a trip to Moab, I would be thrilled to be able to meet up and hit a trail with you.
Wishing you and your family the best, Derek.
Hey man! Thanks for the positive comment and I'm happy to be a source of inspiration!
From a fellow pnw dude, your hard work ethic has obviously paid off for you. I love your content, I enjoy wheeling and fabbing, but above all, I appreciate hard work. Keep it up bro.
Okay. This is a easy answer for the future TH-camrs. The difference is you have the talent, one off fabrication skills and willing to answer any questions that your subscribers look for. I have followed you for a loooong time and that my friend will keep subs!!
Content. That is what brings viewers. I don't understand a lot of the information that you put out but by watching more of your videos I am slowly learning.
You are authentic. Easy to learn from because you are relatable. I liked the lack of editing. I watched until the very end and didn’t get bored. Your content has always held my attention. Guys tryin to make a show mint dropping f bombs and crashing stuff had me laughing my ass off but I’m not sub’d to his channel, I’m sub’d right here!!!
Thank you brother 👊
What a guy. Youre such an awesome resource for so many reasons. This is one of them. We all appreciate you taking the time to throw your 2 cents in
Thank you buddy, I appreciate you taking the time to write a positive comment 👍
I don't have the skills to understand about 40% of what you talked about but I still remained engaged throughout the whole video because it was interesting and I learned a lot about my Jeep. Nice! keep it coming!
Thanks Matt for this. I got a kick out of you stopping mid sentence clear your throat and then pick right back up. You are a wealth of information and I appreciate you sharing it.
To all those who are wondering, Ford 8.8 axles came in 3.08, 3.27, 3.55, 3.73, 4.10, and some 4.56 gear sets from the factory. The 4.56’s are found only in explorers though.
Fellow plumber from Oregon I’m here for the algorithm. Love the content
This was a FUN video!!!! On a side note... @22:00, the question of using either a DANA 60 or the FORD 9 inch.... Not a critical thought here, but, the third member of the FORD 9 inch, not all come with the additional 3rd bearing/bushing support for the pinion... There are a few websites that cover this in a finer detail of the year(s) that this heavier third member was not offered and in what vehicles, like like, what to look for in casting numbers for the center section third member... please note, this is not a deal breaker, if you happened to get the lessor third member unit, they are still unquestionably strong. so do not let that detour you from shopping the right deals and really only plays a role in ordering replacement parts to rebuild the center section... and even that is not really an issue... Good luck... Dru
Love how humble you are. Your editing is awesome and your content is very informative. Keep knocking it out of the park
Stoker build series!
seconded
Third!
4th I did one for my jeep it's crazy simple and my single best upgrade hands down. Plenty of low end torque and (stock)v8 power on the top end
@@danfay4860 i have a 4.0 in my rig and I average 15 mpg on the highway. Did this drastically change your mpg?
This is the best build channel by a long shot.
Very straightforward answers and very concise.
Definitely looking forward to the 4.0 stroker series.
Absolutely love the mechanical skills on this channel.
Absolute artwork.
Appreciate what you're doing. Don't be too harsh on yourself. Really looking forward to the camper build.
The humongous caveat when your talking Dana 44 durability is shafts. If you aren't running aftermaket shafts you effectively have a Dana 30.
If you do a camper build, consider an old ambulance conversion. Saw a guy that had one fully built in cali. Some come with selectable hubs as well. They already have electric,and ventilation to the back cab.
I'm planning an overland trailer build as well, so looking forward to how you do is compared to what I'm planning. Love your channel, I've learned so much from you. Thank you Sir.
I just got the tail bumper plate from barns on my 04 tj I have no complaints I never heard of them tell You and kelly with muddybeards talked about them thanks boss keep up the good work 🤘🏻
Good videos. Your a class act. Keep up the good work. I’m 65 and wheeled my whole life. Seen and done a lot. Heard a lot too!!! Your Channel is informative and humble. Thanks for being able to enjoy some quality time with you.
Love this channel, this is awesome!! Another option for balancing tires is balance beads. We use them in the big trucks at work, nice thing about the beads is your tires are always balanced, from new till the end of life, as they roll around inside where the weight is needed.
Thanks Nate. Your content and how you approach your projects and help explain things is awesome.
I reclaimed my 92 yj from a friend after 14 years. Now working to get it ready for some moderate wheeling and camping. With kids now the name of the game is most fun without working all week after to fix broken stuff. You have given a lot of good tips to help make this vision a reality, thanks!!!!
Great video, nice of you to take the time and answer all the questions people have. Glad things are going so well for you, You deserve it. . As always looking forward to the future videos. And thanks for inspiring all of us backyard fabricators.
This probably one of your best ideas and videos yet. Please keep it up.
Thank you for the response regarding the ECU!
(It's for an '01 Dodge Ram 2500 with a 5.9L Cummins - it starts and runs but seems a bit gutless and the oil pressure gauge isn't receiving data.)
Just finished installing my 4.6 stroker into my 00 XJ, loved the simplicity behind it after weighing the options of either LS, 4bt, tdi, or OM617 swap. Noticeable difference on and off road.
On the trail tire balancing, I have 6 golf balls in each of my 37in for balancing. It's what MetalTech did for years in its old Iroks, so i continued it.
They drive perfect on the highway even at 80ish, and they make awesome whirring sounds as they spin down when i come to a stop.
Buyers Beware! Same experience here with Coty Built. Owner of the company said 4-week lead time before I shelled out $5500. Over a year later I still din't have a complete kit (pre covid)... Doing this to one customer is crappy, but doing this as a matter of practice is disreputable, or worse.
Its unbelievable. And they always treated me like I was being unreasonable lol.
For your camper build the everlander channel is a great resource for light aluminum framed rig. I think the dude might be a genius.
Thanks man 👍
You can do an 8.8 swap in one day with no swap experience long as you can weld
My first axle swap was an 8.8 into a tj. I had a shop set the gears and locker, bought the bracket kit.. and used the existing d35 for measurements to locate all the brackets.. turned out well and did it in 6-7 hours on a Sunday when I needed that daily driver to get to work Monday morning lol.
Don’t second guess the trackbar location. Stick with where you first place it.. I made the mistake of placing the axle under the Jeep bolting it up and thinking I messed up the mount location as the axle was way off to one side.. I cut it fee moved it and bolted it back. Once it was under weight it would’ve been right in the first location and ended up being 1” off center in the end. Wasn’t a big deal but you won’t know if something is off unless you fully weight it. Even then you have some adjustment in the bar itself. The 8.8 is the easiest,strongest, cheapest swap there is though.
Building an overland trailer with independent suspension would be awesome!! Great video as always Nate. Thank you for the time!!!
Thanks for videos just got my first jeep Saturday looking forward to getting it in order
LS is better than everything man.... Finally, someone that knows about useable torque!!! Strokers are always better.
Lol the numbers don't lie. Stroker torque is outstanding and very usable
@@DirtLifestyle not that it totally applies but I had a super built stroker motor in my trx450 and would climb any of the steepest tree shots in the oregon dunes, at allmost an idle🤘
Definitely going with the 4.0 stroker kit.
Now to research that project.
Hell ya, DJI for the win. I'm all in with their whole ecosystem. Mavic mini, Osmo Action & I'm in love with the Pocket. Full suite of accessories...mounts, ND filters, array of lenses. People would be surprised what the pocket is capable of...you can get proper cinematic results and shots you couldn't get with a traditional gimbal.
Thank you so much for answering my question! I can't wait for your Disco build! I love those rigs.
Great clip! You do an awesome job! Love watching. 1954 Willy’s truck I am in the middle of building my own chassis. Great tips!
Thank u lot of great questions answered will watch these any day, learn a lot form your channel thank keep up the hard work thanks
Thank you for taking your time for this. I got some pointers like stroker vs ls. Thank you
+1 on the stroker. Great advice.
Love all the Advice Tips and Tricks, Time and Effort. Excited to see the Trailer Build It will definitely Help me
I used front hubs from an early 80's dana 30 CJ on my HP Dana 30. No welding or cutting. The unit bearing is exactly the same, they bolt right in.
The inner axle shafts are about 3/4 shorter, but you can swap your HP Dana 30 inners onto the CJ dana 30 outers. Or just order custom
RCV's as I did. Works great and I have a 5x5.5 with locking hubs along with my 8.8 with super 88 kit.
I recommend Jeep Speed Shop (JSS) in CA for v8 Swaps. They make kits for Hemis and LSs.
Everything about your channel has been great and i have learned a lot , thanks for all your work
That was completely awesome!!!! Thank you. Congrats on getting close to a grand...you deserve a million followers!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks!
Nate, not ready for any of this yet but like anything you need to gather information to make wise informed decisions. Sometimes I get what your saying other times you talk right over my head but that's why I'm here to learn. Plus I know there is a video resource just waiting to be reviewed over and over if necessary. I doubt you will ever quench my thirst for this kind of stuff. Thanks for all your work helping us all along this journey.
Hey brother! Thank you for taking the time to leave a positive comment! I appreciate the kind words👊
Love the back ground. I’m currently starting a pallet wall in the guest house.
Such great, informative videos. Love your jeep. I'm a jeep owner and enjoy working on them. I work at Volkswagen & your TDI swap & the performance you have is amazing. Really enjoy your content!
Thanks for the video! Always good content. I like that you don't always jump for the bigger X (axles, engine, etc).
So right !!!
Nate you rock,keep it up. Your videos are very informative
Thanks!! I'll check it out. And I'll be waiting for rover vid!
Gads, this guy is smart, thoughtful, kind . . . All the virtues. Teriffic presentation
Nice job Nate. Thanks for sharing more about video cameras
Thanks for the advice on everything. Great video!!
THX Nate!!!!!!!!
I love your channel. I’ve been building old school Jeeps for 12 years. I am not so wavy with the go pro however I’m going to give it a shot! I am working on a shop now before the PNW rains get here. Then I’ll have a place to build my wife’s Tj. Adding a hp44 and 9 inch rear. Long arm setup so I will be hitting you up for sure. Keep the content coming. Hope to wheel with you this winter. Praying for some deep snow
Awesome info session! Hope you keep these up!
love this type of info video every once in a while. always great content Nate
Thank you, Nate for answering my question about springs. Several others have recommended Metalcloak as well. Now I have to decide on 3" or 4.5".
+1 For a Stroker swap. Especially in a TJ. My Golen 4.6L makes plenty of power. Stroker forums are a great place to start.
Metal cloak makes a brilliant idea of a spring, my next choice on a future Jeep lift for sure .
For flashing over tunes-dealership can run the most recent update onto you ecm to return it to stock. not saying it works for everything, I did it for a used 6.0 diesel I bought that had an unknown tune on it
Dude this was a wicked show and I love that you are a person that wants to do things that aren't the norm. Keep up the good work. Wish we could Fab and run stuff like you can here in Australia.
Thank you buddy 👊
Being the Ford Ranger on the dana 35 ttb has some similarity out at the knuckle as the jeep here is what they do on the Ranger that might work on your jeep. Enlarge the ball joint holes on the c take a ford f150 outer and mount it. Now you have the f150 brakes, 5 bolt pattern (old style), and locking hubs. Go over to the ranger station (trs.com) and there is an article on doing this.
"Engine swaps are a lot more complicated than people make them out to be." I tell this to every a-hole who asks me why I haven't dropped in a duramax into my rig. Your reasons given for the stroker are exactly why I went for the P400.
🤘
No joke. Daughter had to have an 88 yj. Turns out frame, transfer case and axles only thing save able. Locate a new firewall and I can at least fix the rust rot. The flood of 2016 really did a number on it. It's currently taking over our covered patio since it's down to bare frame etc. Media blasting and re coat the frame and paint the body are next on to do list. Probably going to end up with a beefed up 351w in because we like our Ford small blocks.
Amazing videos. Can’t wait for the overland trailer build. 👍
@Dirt Lifestyle I love the idea of a build series on offroad trailer/campers. I'm also very interested in you doing an alignment series. I'm looking at doing a SAS in my 01 Dakota Quad Cab, and would appreciate your approach in getting it squared up.
Thanks for the vid man. Right on with the content
Doing a Jeep WJ with my friend on this channel. Putting the 4.0 back in it with a rebuild kit!
Stroke it!!!
The guy that I bought my cj7 from built a trailer for it. He used a s10 bed and put a hydraulic pump and motor in it to drive the axle. Used a front axle so the hub's will lock and unlock. Would make a great overland trailer.
Really good video. Thank you for taking the time to answer questions.
Love your channel great content I’ve got an 87YJ looking to start my bill this year
Thanks for answering my question and the cameras Nate. I'll definitely look into the Osmo cameras. Keep on doing you!!
GREAT ADVISE absolutely love my Golden 4.6 stroker engine. I have done LOTS of engine swaps for customers & friends, & the inline 6 stroker set up is WAY more easier and less expensive & i can smoke my 37" tires
I just finished a 4.5 stroker I'm really happy with it. I think with new pistons cam lifters 2 engines and machine work it was a little over a $1,000 and it couldn't be easier. It's almost too much power for a short wheelbase CJ with SOA and 35's. It's probably 250 horsepower and 325 ft lbs torque it comes in around 1,800 rpm and pulls hard to 4,000rpm
Lots of nuggets here. Thanks
This channel took off. I remember when LBDT Ep. 1 came out on the other channel. Loving it like always.
Thank you!
Axis industries is the go to for the r2.8 components. You can order a turnkey kit from them for almost any jeep.
i’m currently building a 89 k5 blazer. what bank do you recommend for me to rob, so i can afford to pay for it.
All of them! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Now is the best time, everyone is masked up per guidelines, your window of opportunity is closing haha
LMAO
Depends on how rusted away it is....
@@mikcun2799 no rust, I live in the desert
Great information on the engine swap.. I was thinking about an LS swap also. Now I'm thinking about other routes.
I gotta say Nate, after I watch your videos I have no questions... you get the point across!
Thank you!
Force balance! If you wheel don’t do wheel balancing.. this is 90% of the problems with death wobble. Tires cup and wear uneven.. force ballancing is more expensive but your front end will love you for it and you’ll be saving wear and tear on joints.
If the guy doing the 5.3 LS swap or anyone wants advice please hit me up, I’ve done it and can share what I’ve learned
You should write a book geared toward building a TJ from stock to Diesel beast, ( It would have to be a Build for dummies for me). I would buy it! Keep the videos coming. They are helping me greatly
Can't help but to pour with admiration from your 4.0 to ls swap input, because I'm all about the 4.0 it's been a hard transfer to go to a diesel, pros and cons to all but as far as reliability I couldn't agree more with diesel and the 4.0 , I think I'm sticking with the 4.0 for the xj, but if I had a tj, id for sure do the diesel . I love the 4.0 power , especially geared up you got a reliable 4x4 same with diesel .
Look into a stroker its really simple. Take your 4.0, swap in a 4.2 crankshaft and connecting rods (4.0 Pistons) crane or comp cam and lifters, ford5.0 24 lb injectors bam 4.5l stroker its that easy. It has all the low end torque of the 4.2 and quick revving from the 4.0. You can bore it out for a 4.6 .030 overbore or 4.7 with a .040 overbore just do a few "jeep stroker" searches.
Thank you for this video.
Great answers and yes , I'm going with your suggestion.
Now you just need to do that 4.0 stroker series 😁
Great video. Now I'm thinking about an 8.8 in my '96 ZJ...
Great info Nate thanks
Thank you . I hope you build a trailer soon. Still waiting for you to come out with patches
I love my 99 durango 360 magnum! TQ # are pretty good from about idle on up even with 37 iroks
Very cool. Thank you
Great video as always. I’d love to see you build an off road trailer! I’ve been building one off and on for about 9 months (mostly a weekend project). I converted an old utility trailer. I’ve towed mine probably a few thousand miles on and off road, and it’s held up well so far. I ended up installing the Timbren axle-less suspension and love it. Gives the trailer crazy clearance even with 31” tires, and the ride is pretty smooth. Tracks well too.
Great stuff, as usual Nate!
Really appreciated the youtube/editing tips!
Triangulate as much as packaging allows. Don’t feel you have to be a True double but aim for as close as you can. The lowers are really the important part. Get what ever you can from the uppers and you’ll be fine with a 4 link.
