This time Christian heads back east to Ian Johnson's Big Tire Garage for another ambitious project. With two iconic Cummins powered vehicles needing a refresh, Christian and Ian make quick work of the worn out high mileage Jeep TJ that started the Cummins R2.8 Crate Engine program years ago, saving it from the rust that is consuming the frame and body, beginning the process of turning the TJ into an LJ.

I've got a 95 YJ with a VW 1.9 TDI 2006 lifted with 35 and 488 gears, get about 30 mpg around town I've had it for almost 10 years and absolutely love it

@1972RB26Datsun Год назад

I’d love hear anything you care to share about this, really would like to diesel swap my TJ.

@wes11bravo Год назад

EC - Did you get a kit for this swap or did you fab it yourself? Combination of the two?

@ec6933 Год назад

@@wes11bravo most of it was from Cody built the kit, I think the only thing I fabbed was the engine mount it was one of the first kits they ever made probably 15 years ago

@BestUnderPressure Год назад

Very cool project. I think the Cummins is perfect for a TJ.

@garypackard2532 Год назад

I have an R2.8L & AX-15 in my 1989 YJ, love it!!!

@wes11bravo Год назад

Did you do the swap yourself? Would love to run an R2.8 in my 01 TJ.

@jeffmurphy9987 Год назад

I guess it depends on where you’re planning on taking ur Jeep. I live in Ky and my TJ works perfect since my terrain is very wooded and narrow so the short wheelbase and torque of the 4.0 works exceptionally well. But very neat idea.

@AnnoyedPatriot Год назад

Everything I've been wanting to do to my TJ! Almost like someone opened my browser and the "Jeep Build" folder. Odd when mentioning Cummins builds they didnt show Ian's own badass Willys!

@levesquejp4964 Год назад

Insane respectful and entry scale build ❤

@DaddyJeepGarage Год назад

Yes Ian. The right thing to do to make any vehicle better is to cut it in half. Good call.

@dustinmcfall7816 Год назад

Yet another episode on RU-vid that isn't on my motortrend app!

@biscuitninja Год назад

That would be awesome!

I wish you guys would do my TJ. Would be a fun challenge because is a RHD.

Something about the guys who have a beard and no moustache that I don’t trust.

Bring back Fred and Dave! Steve even has the Fred hairstyle going!

@ddesilva61 Месяц назад

Not finding any videos for this build after this one...like on steering! What am I missing?

@ianedwards4712 Год назад

The real question is when will the r2.8 be back instock in Canada 🇨🇦 I’ve been waiting

@amandutt1447 Год назад

It’s funny to me how he was talking about the reliability of the 5.0 titan. My dad bought one and it had a rod knock after 15k. Maybe because it was a really early model but who knows

@killroy2993 Год назад

No replacement for dirt every day

@dp2826 Год назад

Nice nova! Looks like a stiff ride though. What part of the build caused this? Lower stiffer springs?

@bmxguy73 Год назад

Cartman and butters all grown up

@nothsim Год назад

I looked on the motor trend app and didn’t find it. Is it 4X4 garage or something else? Or only available in the US?

@marshalllapenta7656 8 месяцев назад

Cummins 4bt!

@__WJK__ 3 месяца назад

4bt's awesome, long as you don't mind the excessive weight and noise.

@scotthultin7769 Год назад

First 👍's up thank you for sharing

@CorridorCulprit Год назад

I can't justify leaving the 4.0 out of my tj, but it'd be a fun project if I found a blown 2.5 or even a cj..

@richardprice5978 Год назад

i can and so can my siblings the 2006 4.0+auto nope 👎no thanks ( he loves the rest of the unlimited/loaded dad RPO'd back in 2005~, also the factory bo-bo'd and it's painted the wrong colour outside lolz 😂and man is 3-black hot, thanks to it i learned no to buy/paint my 1969 charger that way aka F8 or B5 or red-outside and white or red interior instead ect ), maybe the manual and or pre-1975 is better?

@volleyboy34 Год назад

Where is this in the MotorTrend+ app? I don't see it in 4x4 garage or FourWheeler. What is it under?

@xGAMERxGUY Год назад

All respect to Christian, but if this replaced DED they fumbled the bag. I want to see wacky 4x4 builds, not generic bolt on part guides.

@calebberglund53 Год назад

Absolutely. There’s a billion of the same copy paste car shows out there but DED was something special

@BigYumps Год назад

They just built and engineered a chassis, quit ya bitch'n

@lukeromeril2052 Год назад

DED can never be replaced

@butcherbaker4258 Год назад

Why would they ditch DED? Lots of guys like simple bolt on stuff but I think it's a smaller or younger fan community. Maybe I am wrong but if so I am fine with it😄

Cancelled my MT subscription and just watch Dirthead Dave and 4XFred on RU-vid. 🤷‍♂️

@andrewmeadows2596 Год назад

Did this take over dirt everyday?

@JoeVinson Год назад

"a million miles" includes at least one bottom end, and probably a head gasket or two. Not just an oil change every so often. Just to be clear.

@Gunmetalbluejeeptjs Год назад

LJ kit by genright ?

@michaelreynolds1904 Год назад

Wait, Ian is braging about owning a Titan with a 5.0l Cummins that they refuse to support? That thing makes my EcoDiesel look like a solid engine.

@BigTireGarage Год назад

Yeah I have 200k on my Titan and no problem getting support from local NissN Dealer

@blocheadz Год назад

Respectfully, I would like these guys to continue but Dirt Every Day is a big loss to us. There could have been less of the whacky builds and more project based (multi-episode) builds but, those guys were some of the best MTrend characters.

So far this show has been good , but what I would like to know is why am I still paying for Motortrend ? This show is being showed on You tube before it’s posted to Motortrend I might as well delete my subscription , if I can watch it here for free

@joshuaking34 Год назад

This is not an adequate replacement for DED.

@oddlyrightoddlyright2475 Год назад

So…Fred and Dave are gone and this is was replaced them?….dumb move,this won’t be a replacement for dirt every day…looks like an advertising video for prefab parts…🤔…well motor trend had a good run I’m going to wacth Dave on dirt head shed

@tayne5009 Год назад

I liked Fred and Dave better.

@DB.KOOPER Год назад

The last real Jeep... everything since has been absolute GARBAGE. You'd still be better off building a Toyota though.

@TheBibleExplorer Год назад

😱Bite your tongue 😂 don't get me wrong I've had many ol' 80s yotas with the 22r & 22re and really enjoyed them but I sure do like my ol' TJs & XJs with the 4.0L...anyone can keep them going if they stay on top of the fluids & maintenance 🤠👍 But I do agree that the last real jeep was a TJ 🤣👍
