WHY I didn't LS swap my jeep XJ toyota 1uzfe swap 

it really is a great platform to build from

The 4.0 isn't a V6. It's an inline 6.

@@KurNorockamc offered a Chevy V6 for the first few years of production.

we would be happy to share our tunes to get you up and running

@@gageboysgarage6059 That is extremely appreciated! I will reach out once I’ve secured a shell

@@gearhead8989Are you interested in selling the engine?

@@autohog I’ve debated on selling it but haven’t made any effort to list it. It’s very healthy. If I had a good enough offer, I might consider it.

Hey thank you so much, the goal of our channel is to show what you can do in your garage! a swap kit would be awesome

If I decided to do this and I had issues..... guarantee I would...😂 Could ask you guys for some help.

Thanks! i have thought about this and will probably do it soon.

WOW thank you so much for the comment. i believe the Toyota engines are relatively simple everything i’ve done on mine was very easy. you should message me on instagram if you have it dm zeph_gage. if you don’t have instagram let me know

Part of the problem with using an LS is having to use a GM transmision... or is there a way around that? Of all the 4L60 transmissions I have seen die, I have seen zero AW4 failures. I expect the aluminum Toyota V8 to weigh substantially less than the LS. The LS is a simple engine, but so is the Toyota engine, and honestly, its liable to be more durable than even the GM LS engine. The Toyota engine is just as cheap. With keeping the AW4 transmission, there's no need to change anything with the transfer case. The original driveshafts can be retained... unless that is also true with the LS swap? I am leaning towards going this route. Its going to be either that or I cam up my 4.0. But for that to be effective, I should get a better flowing head as opposed to the Daimlerized one that is on there.

Thank you man! I think a 1uz CJ7 would be so badass!!!

i don’t think it would work

yeah ask any questions you want, this has been very reliable watch more videos on our channel you’ll see the beating it takes. i highly recommend the swap

i’ve been thinking about doing that!!

that’s awesome any video of it?

Not yet! I plan on recording the entire swap once i have almost everything i need, im just doing research and hoarding parts atm haha

​@@plzdntkillmeinc2016have you completed your swap. I was thi for about using a 2UZ from a Sequoia

i hate wiring, but once you get into it just take your time. it’s nothing to be scared of

@@gageboysgarage6059 so with the fuel pump did you guys just go right into the other setup? cause honestly this build is something can seems to be better vs an LS.

@@gageboysgarage6059 also where did you get the harness kit?

exactly haha

stock xj aluminum radiator 3 electric fans

heck yeah buddy i love mine. thanks for the comment

i’m not sure

message me on instagram, gageboysgarage cherry

the jeep has a separate computer for the transmission from the factory, and the problem with the tach is relaying what the splitronics knows to the dash because the dash is controlled by the computer

I wonder if you can just use a gm alternator with the tach and just wire that into the old computer or if you can use the pulse off the alternator that came with the ls for the tach signal to the old computer

it should work

probably a month after work and school

Motor mounts where very simple just some plate built off the factory mounts, the harness is a splitronics ecu and standalone harness

yes i had to change the driveshaft length and make motor mounts but it was relatively easy, btw so cool to hear from an Aussie Thanks for Watching!!!

i made them

you could definitely do this swap it wasn’t bad just takes time

yes stock transmission computer, i haven’t done anything with it but hook up the transmission cable to the throttle body and it drives great. i have not get the tach to work yet but i plan on making a video on it

​@@gageboysgarage6059thanks for the info, I was wondering the same

correct my bad, thanks for watching

Where is the ride? Sounds fun

@@gageboysgarage6059 starting in Petoskey. Hitting about 40 miles of trails. Ending just south of Boyne Falls.

@@northernmichiganoverland are you organizing this on facebook or anywhere that we can get details?

@@gageboysgarage6059 yes on my #NorthermichiganXJs group I have a event.

who the heck is uncle tony?

i don’t think so, the a340 from the car is a 2wd case

so far it has been bulletproof, only thing i had fail was the starter, i was able to smack it with a bar to start it once and then i left the jeep running

i used the splitronics ecu and harness

i think so i don’t know tho

not at the moment, the factory ac location will hit the frame

The aw4 has its own computer i just left it alone and it works great. The engine harness is a simple 3 wire harness from splitronics standalone ecu and harness. I kept the factory jeep computer and used the jeep sensors to get my dash to work

@@gageboysgarage6059 so just continuity out all the wires in the tcm plug and leave them where theyre at correct? What about the kick down cable? As far at the motor is concerned im probably going to make the toyota ecm run it all and start depinning the ecm until it no longer works and start adding back in.

​@@bransencortez7353thatsmy thoughts. Did you do the 1uz swap and how did you address this?

@@CodyBecker-w4z no said screw it. I wanted a entire parts vehicle and the toyota people were nuts with their prices so i found it cheaper and easier to run a 5.3 with a 4l80e and a 2k$ holley controlling it all. When you want to run a auto things get kind of confusing so this worked best for me. Since hes already running a standalone on his xj i said why not to the same thing.

@@CodyBecker-w4z that being said my buddy has a uz swap with a stick and its a MUCH easier animal. All my other vehicles are stick and i just want this to be my daily so i wasent willing to give up the auto in this one. If you are tho this is a great swap!

yes technically i have seen it done

it is the stock cherokee aw4 automatic

keep up the good work bruh

Yeah man here it is. What are you swapping ? www.ebay.com/itm/234738260717?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=9i8opuuftpa&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

@@gageboysgarage6059 also A jeep Cherokee but I have A 3 door with original 2.1 diesel which I threw out and swapt with 1uz

they are just cheaper ebay ones, they are all very similar

wow sounds boring

land rover didnt seem to think so.@@gageboysgarage6059

soo you stuck a 540 pound engine that cant even reach 300hp. but think a 435 pound 370 hp engine is boring. ok zoomer

the xj torque converter does not match up with the 1uz flex plate you would have to modify something

I made them, I used part of the factory engine mounts. it was actually extremely easy

i used a splitronics ecu and harness.

hell yeah

@@gageboysgarage6059 I never knew the OG trans in the XJs was an Aisin. That means you unhooked the 1UZ from an Aisin and also reattached it to an Aisin!

i used the factory mounts cut them down and welded a flat plate off of them, then added gussets. the 1uz has a very simple engine mount on the engine

Would the parts of the 1uz tranny fit in my 93 xj cuz urs is newer then my jeep so I guess tranny is a bit different

@@radhaalghurab9753 i’m not positive but i think it may work

yes i can!!

What's the best way to get in contact with you for those files?

​@@gageboysgarage6059 what's the best way to get a hold of you for those tune files? Thanks in advance!

@@avianaviator1570 send me an email zeph.gage@me.com

@@gageboysgarage6059 Thanks So much!

depends how your jeep is setup with a stock ish xj it would be easy

@@gageboysgarage6059 Yea mine is a 1994 Sport I already got the engine just gotta get the most complete swap kit

@@gageboysgarage6059How long did it take to complete the swap , and would you be interested in doing another swap if I got all the parts everything you need how much would you charge me to complete the swap set up exactly like yours

it kinda did, luckily i was able to smack it to get it started then i just left the jeep running!
