I am doing the same swap. 08 jk, 2020 durango hemi. I am really curious about the AC lines. Your videos have helped immensely with my project. Keep up the good work!
@@shaunforgacs6296 awesome I’m glad to hear that. I haven’t installed the ac lines yet. I will most likely get them made up at our local hydraulic hose shop. Been to busy with work and renovations to get more content out. But I will definitely touch on that when I get some time. Thanks for the comment!
Great series of videos on all the steps. I have an 08 JKU R.. You have such a calm voice and great humour, i would have been cursing a lot along the way. Looks like the 3 main tools you used were the pick, body removal tool and the 3/8 or 1/4" ratchet Milwaukee ! I don't weld so i guess the bolt-in mounts would be my better choice. Couple questions are 1: do you think there would be much interference (engine/manifolds) with a long arm kit? 2:What transfer case do you have? i have the Rubicon and have heard/read that it's better to have the non-Rubicon t.c. I recognized your area/neighbourhood on your driving, as i lived on the other side in K town for many years.
@@grantjohnson8396 haha thanks, ya those tools are key. I wish I would have had that Milwaukee ratchet years ago. That thing is amazing. I would stick to the non-Rubicon case. Unless you’re heavily into rock crawling. I don’t see a long arm kit being an issue. That is something I will be doing in the near future.
Thank you for your informative, detailed, well-done and enjoyable series. I watched it to gain details, learn methods and pick up some tips about the Jeep JKU platform. I have a 2007 Jeep JKU with a Cummins 4BT and a 4L60E transmission. This was purchased largely complete. I have been improving it and would like to maintain it well. Would you consider raising your voice-over volume when you are working? Very good work on your swap and your documentary.
@@JamesBrown-ox8vz the front settled about 1”. So lost that in up travel. If you would like to correct that, you can use the front coils from a JT Gladiator diesel. They have a heavier spring. This will be the route I take when I correct the sag in mine.
@@JKB_OFFROAD_olllllllo hey I forgot to add I really enjoyed your video series and appreciate you taking the time and making the effort to vlog it! Hope you are still enjoying the Jeep and getting many smiles per gallon! Thanks again!
@@JamesBrown-ox8vz awesome. I appreciate the feedback. I’ve been pretty wrapped up in work and renovations at the moment. But I will be getting back at it soon. Specifically the total cost video. I know there are subscribers patiently waiting.
@@TheMuscelBoy the Ram hemi has 395 with the active runner valve. Mine is an LX hemi. Don’t doesn’t have the runner valve. From what I’ve read, the runner valve gets 15 hp over the Lx. So that puts it at approximately 375-380 ish. I am going to get it tuned in the near future. I will be doing a before and after video on that. So we will see!
@@TheMuscelBoy Beadlocks allow you to air your tire down to single digits with your tire falling off the wheel. Or popping a bead. I’ve had them down to 2.5 lbs in snow, which works great. Allows for a bigger footprint, to stay on top of the snow. High horsepower rigs have them to stop the tire from spinning on the wheel.
@@paulrobillard2807 soon! Im a seasonal worker and my work season kicked off last month. And I’m in the middle of renovating my kitchen at the moment on my days off. Extremely busy. But it’s in the works!! Thanks for inquiring! I haven’t forgotten about you guys. Thanks for checking in!

Great video and information. People are missing out on this goldmine build.
Thank you very much I appreciate it! Glad you’re finding it useful!

I can absolutely do that. Appreciate the feedback. Sounds like you have a pretty cool Jeep!

Curious if you had to make any front suspension changes due to the additional weight?

How much horse power did you had just with the mufflers and then the hemi

What are the benefits with a bead lock?

When can we expect the last video of the Hemi series
