After dealing with a NSG370 rebuild in the past, I plan to give mine the boot this winter in favor of an AX-15. Bad transmission? No. Expensive to repair? Yes, not to mention noisy as hell too. Either I got screwed over my the guy that repaired mine or its Mercedes being Mercedes but I paid...

I have seen some pretty sweet overland LJ setups but I never see build pages. You would think there would be a few on this forum but the few that are here are pretty dead. Best thing to do is find a TJ build that fits what you are looking for and find ideas off that. 95% of TJ parts bolt right...

The lights were $168 so not super expensive but still a good chunk of money from my wallet.

This company is probably the best in the area and honestly the best shop I have ever been at (small company). They do all the little things right which probably means the most to me. Any shop can do the bigs things but usually small details are what result in me being frustrated and having to...

I am still on my parents insurance and our insurance is tied with my dad's work so as much as I wish I could do that, I really can't.

More than capable of doing it in a 2dr. If I can do it in a little TJ then you should be fine. I would definitely look into a roof rack as one of your first purchases. Helps keep things less cluttered and opens up a whole new level of storage

Getting the Jeep back today, throttle body gasket was definitely sucking air in the wrong places and was replaced. They also diagnosed that my AC compressor is definitely dying internally, something I was relatively aware of with the howling it has been making the last 3 years. Tech recommended...

Scratch everything because this is all that matters now:sombrero: I can see what you mean though, the 4BT definitely makes everything quite cozy in there. Nearly too cozy. The only thing I question is whether or not Cummins is offering just the engine for $9k or the entire kit. When they first...

Squeal officially dianosed, throttle body gasket and a worn idle control valve. I guess I about nailed the diagnosis on the head. Should have the Jeep back by tomorrow at the latest

Just depends on what you plan to swap it in. 4BT is fantastic but can be an absolute pain in the rear to make work right on something like a Jeep or smaller SUV. The 2.8 is already proven as well, been offered overseas for several years now. There is also the argument people make saying an LS...

Dont get too excited now

Best News in a While So I guess all I had to do is threaten to do a different swap? This is a post from a Fred Williams on Instagram. He is currently travelling with the famous 2.8 swapped TJ named Tubesock (the one they submerged for 30 minutes and busted the oil pan of the 2.8 with) and a...

Thought I would leave this here Fred Williams is currently traveling with Tubesock (the 2.8 swapped TJ that drove under water for 30 minutes and busted the Cummins oil pan) and Cummins reps so this could be a nice breather for some people

I believe the squeal has been officially been found. I have a vacuum leak coming from a near dead vacuum elbow just under the throttle body. I bought a pack to replace the elbow at the parts store this morning but they dont fit properly so I plan to go ahead and order a brand new vacuum harness...

Dirk actually told me that JKS made slight changes unded the radar to their track bar about 4 years ago due to flaws like you mentioned. Appreciate the kind words. Honestly I would have thought the same about the mpg issue if I had not have taken the mpg hit prior to installing the rack. I...

This arrived this week. I like it a lot so far.

Just find yourself a Winchester Model 94 in .38-55 or .450 Marlin. The new Winchester 94s shoot fantastic (I have a newer 94 in .38-55 and love it)

https://houston.craigslist.org/cto/d/jeep-comanche-pioneer/6235977347.html Really well kept Comanche that could provide an excellent platform for an overland rig. Well worth the $8.5k IMO

Transmission Decision and 2nd Half of the Year Plans Nothing new has really happened since last discussion regarding my transmission choices besides making the decision to go with the AX15. Reasons: 1. Surplus, surplus, surplus! They made more of these transmissions than they installed so...

Not an issue for me, I don't take the top off my Jeep because I'm lame:) Ahh the man who always has a plan. Those could be useful. Like said I don't intend to put anything too heavy on them, just get some of the smaller/medium out of the way to keep cargo less cluttered and more organized...
