In this episode the drive train goes in for good on the Willys Wagon, and I show you all my decisions for installing the Cummins R2.8.
Motor mounts, skid plates, transmission options, adapter, fuel system, and custom exhaust. This will get the chassis really close being ready for a body to be dropped onto it.

I understand it takes hours to put together enough video for 10 minutes but, I'm sure I speak for allot of other fans, you are the best at what you do and 10 minutes is never enough to satisfy our fix..LOL. Keep up the great work and channel. Have you ever thought of having a drawing for a chance for a lucky viewer to be able to come out and work with you on a project for a day or 2 ?

Love watching the build so far. If only we had cool old rigs like the jeep wagon in australia. Love the idea of old school body on newish chassis. Saw the beetle body in the background and thought that would look good on a shorty jk chassis.

Definitely hope the aftermarket has a solve for plastic oil pan as had a plastic valve cover on my old CJ and dammed if it didn't crack during an overnight Christmas Tree trip with the temp at 8f and ended up using the giant USFS sticky tag to hold the not setting epoxy and 4 parts together for the ride of the mountain.

@BigTireGarage 3 года назад

Cummins actually has an aluminum pan available but I didn't need it for this rig...

@paulsullivan3549 3 года назад

I'm considering using the R2.8 In my '98 Grand Cherokee Limited in the immediate future. Strictly a fuel economy move in light of price increases. I like the idea of doubling fuel economy and having a motor that will out live me. Also considering a interim LNG/ Propane. Any thoughts on these two different approaches would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I watched your video with Nate last night. Watched the Cummins presentation. Thank you in advance for your informative videos.

@davecamilleri9411 2 года назад

Awesome build Ian. I just purchased a R2.8 for my 97 TJ . I would like to keep my A/C by using the mid mount bracket, but Brittany at Cummins repower said the power steering pump would then interfere with the frame. Is the frame you used wider than a TJ frame?

@BigTireGarage 2 года назад

Yes, the JK frame is wider than a TJ, but you could notch the frame to get clearance that you need

As a fellow Canuck I wanted to know if you would be able to tell me what episode was it that you did way back in the day on extreme 4x4 where you put pivot balls on ford dana 60 with gm gears.love watching you work ..I have an 03 f350 6.0l and want to do the upgrade as I mentioned above that I saw you do ,but can't find it anywhere ..wanted to use it for parts reference..thanks

@BigTireGarage 3 года назад

Not sure what you mean by Pivot Balls

@1ken.cheniergmail 3 года назад

@@BigTireGarage thanks for getting back to me ..so you made an axle for the rock bouncer raging bull and you used a ford front dana 60 and put gm gears inside of it then you took the knuckles and moded them so they would use a pivot ball instead of the u joint on the axle...I am sorry if this sounds off but all this is from memory of a show you did so many years ago ..I would like to say that I was glad to see that you are doing this gig now as your show that you were on extreme 4x4 was the only one I watched out of the other ones ..Off road is just cooler to me ..Thanks for your time ..best of luck with this new venture ..I will be enjoying your new show/videos

How do you think the EPA crack down will affect the engine swaps in jeeps

@BigTireGarage 3 года назад

I don't think it will be an issue....especially since the JL now has a V8 under the hood from the factory.

@abpsd73 3 года назад

I would have blasted a hole in the oil pan skidplate for the oil drain. Or does the R2.8 drain out the side of the pan?

@ohsee1346 3 года назад

It doesn't use oil

@BigTireGarage 3 года назад

That Cummins has a plastic oil pan. Really. Something about that curdles my coffee creamer. I'm sure it has nothing to do with that particular Cummins being made in China.
