- I messed up and priced the engine out of my wife's TJ I gave her for Valentines Day, Which lead me doing a custom swap I have been dreaming on for years. As busy as I stay these videos get filmed months apart. With time I hope to get it all working better. Thanks for the support. Always welcome to advice or ideas.
in three years people will scroll back to these videos to see where it all started -- in the next year you will become a new person, happens to all the RUclips channels
Exactly what I said to the comment above. Y’all are awesome. Thanks so much.
Dex, we gotta get you in on the Flex, rocks, and rollover challenges. Bro you are gonna BLOW up. Just give it some time. Love your content.
Thanks so much. I agree. Need to ride with them. I watch their stuff. We will get there soon. Can’t wait.
@@dexjs just keep doing what you’re doing bro. Hope to get to meet your ass one day! 😎💪🏼
Love to watch you figure it out. 😮
The music was a nice unexpected choice. Also, the sped up parts made it very interesting.
All the years I’ve wondered why advanced adapters or Novak hasn’t got onboard with what your doing. Yeah yeah LS the world but the magnum 5.2 or 5.9 is a great durable engine we all longed for in the xj, yj and tj years ago. Old technology but still reliable and enough power for most. Hemi’s and LS are cool but their price tags are not! Loving the content!!! Keep it up for us shade tree Penny pinchers!! For years I wanted to magnum aw4 swap a yj but a tj? Yeah that will fill the void as well!! Hope to get to wheel with you soon and talk your ear off about all the cool stuff you got man! 👍🏼
Thanks Dex
My guy I appreciate your videos you helped me a lot. Your knowledge of a Jeep is awesome
Best time-lapse music on youtube haha. Looking forward to seeing more on this project (when time allows ;) Great content. I feel like you're getting a groove established.
Comments like this makes my day. So much motivation to deliver my style. Thanks so much.
This is a lot of work but this will be an awesome rig! Great video!!
These videos are great man you should definitely magnum swap an XJ next
It’s on the list!!
I’ve been waiting for 5.2 swap stuff
I wanna do an XJ soon. If this works out.
The Cherokee you referred to as the junkyard dog, we used to call the golfs cart. Go out look for something cart.
Use body shims to align the converter they come in exact thickens
Nice!
Hope that torque converter last..Will the rear end hold up..Enjoyed.ty
Great video! Man your channel is growing fast! Took me a long time to get to 5k Subs. Keep it up
Thanks a ton! It’s definitely been a blessing so far. Got my hopes up from all the positive feedback. 🙏
Dex .... what are the benefits of changing to the AW4 trans ?
Way better that Mopar trans is junk aw4 are tough its actually a Toyota transmission I've never broke one put like anything needs proper maintenance
You'd a thought i was saving a kid from falling off a bridge...ha ha
I have a brand new AW4 i want to swap in to my Jeep TJ. Now watching this makes me really want to swap it. Its a 4.0 i just built for it. Any info on that swap would be great.
It’s still in the works. Waiting on the machine shop. I’m excited by the challenge 😬
Dude if you ever need something like this again hit me up I’ll just make the threaded pieces
Almost got the last piece of the straw
So close. Waiting on machine shop 😬
This is my kinda stuff
so i gotta 95 xj and i’m stuck between makin it a stroker or try to put a 5.2 in it. what do you think the better option would be
LS 😂
Put a 4200 vortec in it gm inline 6 from trailblazer eletrioncs wise it's a ls it's 100 more hp and 50 more torque and 1" shorter and 150 lbs lighter than a 4.0 jeep
Seems like a ton of work vs just using a 46rh/e or something that came behind the 5.2? Is there a reason other than you have probably 50 aw4 that you are using it instead?
44rh is stupid long. 44re is too complicated. 44rh rear driveshaft would be 6-7 inch long
@@dexjsand they are garbage compared to the aw4
I was wondering the same thing but didnt wanna seem like a dick. makes since tho
Could you do a ZJ transmission rebuild
U should put 360 heads on it make kind a stoker. 318 360 same block. Just make sure it a magnum 360 head
I was 99% the heads was the same.
Squirrel…. 😂
Sounds like your mess up was planned so you could do your dream build. People don't usually mess up with their wives and come out smelling like a bouquet of fresh picked roses. Just saying...
