About 15k was my guess and looks totally worth it. After I pay off my jeep going for lq4/9 swap awesome vids and sick jeep!
Love my LS swapped Jeep..
I'm not telling! "it was on sale" is always the right answer
My 2002 TJ. I paid 16k for it. Rust free rig from California shipped to MN. I have 41k in parts on it and I still have the 4.0/Automatic/dana 30 and dana 35 axles. My own labor. Its black, sits on 35s with lockers and full of top notch goodies and I haven't gotten to an axle swap or motor swap. Did this in 4 months, like you say don't tell the wife. I live by the saying: when i die, i hope my wife doesn't sell my stuff for the same amount of money i told her i have into it
So you have basically a stock tj on 35s yet still have 41k into it? Either someone sold you ocean front property in Arizona or you're full of it 😂
@@dylancampbell8064 Just because you can't afford a Jeep or any 4x4 and live on ocean front property in Arizona doesn't mean anything to me. You clearly are unknowledgeable. Do you know how much aluminum genright fenders cost, long arm suspension, warn winches, genright roll cage, recovery gear, bumpers, tire carriers or RCV axles shafts cost. I suspect NO being your just making stupid comments. Dude below me got 30k into his but i don't see you chewing on his ankles. One day I hope you can afford something other than a basic car. Dope.
hey you have same fenders as me..... well i have ex now so my JK is getting upgrades , and thinking get a TJ so have another to drive as i work n them as i have 3 trucks
the holley EFI has a place for the trigger wire on the ac compressor also what about adding a fan on the outside of the radiator behind the grill?
14000$ is decent for what you got.
I got 30,000$ in my JL and haven’t even touched drivetrain ecxept gears yet lol
I feel like for an older build vehicle like you have and what you did is well invested for what we do!
Nice rig man, cheers from Canada 🤙🏻🤘🏻
$14k in just the engine swap. No clue how much in the whole build but it's all for the love of the game lol. Thanks for watching!
You were connecting transmission flywheels and torc converter issue you had
Probably late but when I adapted a 4l80 to np231 in an LJ that Novak tcase adapter had a seal that was needed. I also had to pull mine back out as wasn’t included in box originally.
Also, I ended up going with a gm factory mechanical fan over electric and it solved my slow crawling temp issues
I pulled the tcase and used a ton of RTV to fix the leak. All dry now
Bruiser does sell them still. I contacted them and they are around $500
Hi, love the build, it's inspiring me. Also your front JL grill, is that a JL grill that you modified to fit? I bought a Mopar JL grill to try and attach to my JKUR. I love the look!
Thanks. The grill is custom. I cut the center section from a JL and JK grill and combined them.
Try Find a Crown Vic electric fan. Big fan relative thin and moves alot of air. Also cheap compared to others.
I’ll look into it. Thanks man
That wrap is bad!!!! Nice Jeep!
pretty much double that cost in Australia very expensive over here only if we can be your prices but our dollar rate is ridiculous and plus can't do any of that here as well pretty much a nanny-controlled Australia and yet we have massive land and bush.
The only expensive part of the entire build to be done in Australia is the wiring and having both systems work with one another. Plenty of ls and gearbox combos for less than 6k.
You ty for your vid Question you left your vid 2 transmission connection your flywheel didn't line up at all then you went to vid 3 but never touched on what your problem was.So what was the problem and your fix please
Just had to swap to a different fly wheel. That was cheaper than swapping torque converters
My mechanic just told me my JK's engine is dead. What is the most economical way to get back up and running? And how much would you expect that to cost with parts and labor? Drop in another of the same (rebuilt) engine? I'm not trying to get beefier or higher performance. I just need my Jeep to work again. Thanks.
Most economical way would be to find another used stock engine. Most shops can pull off a turn key engine swap, factory engine for under $10k. If you want a turn key LS swap you’re looking at $25-35k
Did you put rtv or a gasket between your trans and the transfercase adapter?
Also, your extremely thick radiator requires a very good fan. A thinner radiator would likely work better.
I can sit and idle my LS-jk with stock rad/fan
I still have my stock rad/fan. Might switch back and see how that does. and yes I did use RTV between the adapter but that space should be dry regardless. the tcase and trans do not share fluid.
Don’t you have a 4l80? Then it’s a wet adaptor.
Aka the trans will leak fluid into the adaptor by design.
I thought the same thing coming from Jeeps, where the tcase-trans connection has been dry for at least 30 years.
They don’t share fluid. The tcase is truly sealed, but the transmission relies on the adaptor for a seal.
@@brs256ishI was told by Novak that the adapter should be dry. They have you close off the weep hole on the trans when installing the adapter
That’s interesting, nowhere I read mentioned being able to
Do that, there are freeze/orifice plug you put in when converting one to 4wd. But I haven’t heard of one being converted to dry tail shaft, I would like that on mine. With the cllocking ring I’ve got an extra spot for mine to leak
@@brs256ishI’ll do some more digging on it but that’s what I remember Novak telling me because it came with paper gaskets and I didn’t understand why it would need them if it didn’t hold fluid.
Ls will of ofcourse out perform and ol school V8 but screw all that electrical crap. I’m just gonna do a 305 or 350 v8 like I did my XJ a few years ago and save a lot of money
You won't be saving any money. A ls is stupid simple and cheap with a painless wiring harness. There is literally no point in swapping in a inferior 350
For someone that’s worried about being stranded I’d figure you wouldn’t have a ford 🤣
My truck is easily the most reliable car in the driveway 😂
@@aguywithajeep diesel? I’m just a Chevy/Dodge fan boygirl. I like the super duty’s though. Very nice trucks
What door handles are you using? Do they make them for a 4 door?
They are from Amazon. I forget the brand but they do have them for 4 doors
@@aguywithajeep thank you
The revenuers monitor these spendy builds
The commenters help pay for them 🤘
Will a Hemi JL radiator fit?
Probably not drop in. You’ll have to make some brackets like I did I would assume. Probably easier to go with a JK specific aftermarket rad
@@aguywithajeep neat, I have a 2015 that’s been paid off and I am having perpetual issues with the 3.6, such a pain.
An ls swap not a
