      I'm hoping this will keep up with a Jeep. It's hard to beat a jeep. I used to have a 1998 TJ, lifted, tires, and all that. I could do some amazing things with it but it couldn't hold the people and things this trooper can. Once I get this built I'm absolutely going to Moab and we will see what she can do.

    Dude!! Did we just become best friends. Just had my heater core go out on my 95 limited , started nothing a slight coolant smell then found the passenger side floor saturated in coolant. 🤦🏿 Had no ideal how I was going to fix it. My local shop said 1 grand to take out the dashboard. But I keep thinking I should be able to to do that myself over a couple of weekends. This video was the first I seen showing you taking apart the dashboard from the center to passenger door to access that heater core. Thank You, Thank You, Thank you!!
    Oh 3 weeks after finding the heater core was leaking on the way to work crankshaft broke with 234 miles on it.🤦🏿🤬🤬. Shop is replacing the engine and cap off heater core. I’ll fix the heater core over some other weekends . I still have 2000 trooper limited to sport around in 😁

    When using a urethane Berliner material, put long bolts in the holes. You can cut around them to get a nice finished look and they are easier to remove. Oh, ARB’s are a sweet score BTW.

    • @TJackSurvival

  • @Isuzu_Paul
    @Isuzu_Paul 2 года назад +1

    They axles, transmission, transfercase, interior parts (seats door cards ECT) are interchangeable.the motors are the same but different (different heads/injection system). The corporate 12 bolt axle rear is the same from 92-02' different gear ratios on the 98+ models though 4.56 vs 4.30 I believe. The front lift is just a torsion bar crank, aftermarket control arms are a waste of time and money just swap the ball joints under the uca with a small spacer plate. The rear lift you can use zj front coil springs from the v8 model with the pigtail cut off or get oem 929 springs. That arb bumper is a super score they are 1200 bucks brand new. Same with the lockers, although I didn't know they made a 10 bolt locker, I wonder if that is rigged in there. Get yourself a transmission cooler or the automatic will die is a fiery ball of burning atf.

      You're right. The interior was better, but the frame was bent and it had been in a wreck. Right now it's up on jacks and in a million parts. I took the interior out of the green one and put it in the red one, I was going to just put seat covers on it and roll with it. Later on, you'll see I then got a free 2001 and swapped it all again. So right now it's got a grey interior and new parts from the 2001.

Parts are not common.. FYI. Anyone with a good 2000 trans contact me, my 2000 is perfect but sitting with no trans. .
