Just some notes since I have had a few people ask. Suspension. I used Superlift 01-511R-6 Superlift springs on all 4 corners of the chassis. The springs mounts where moved around to do this. Near as I can tell I ended up with a 2" rear stretch and a 3" front stretch for an overall wheelbase...

Thanks for the link. That is a bit different....

With the right fuel its not really an issue, with the wrong fuel it sucks. A smaller heated tank could be a good solution. I thought about doing something similar for biodiesel in the winter. I guess the interesting part is how you power the heaters. Plugging in at home is easy, but running a...

I've done the 911 additive and changed the fuel filter before. Once the engine sucks itself dry and you air lock the injectors you HAVE to bleed everything. This last time my truck was plugged in on the timer for about 4 hours prior to the morning startup. The fuel in the filter was liquid but...

I had a double dose of antigel in the tank. At -20F plus wind that still wasn't enough. The battery comes into play when its COLD and your having to turn the motor over a bunch to bleed the injectors :) I added 2 quarts of Kerosene and a little more fuel treatment for lube. That seemed to...

-20F with some wind was enough to make the truck freeze up. I had it plugged in on a timer and started it in the morning. It started right up but once it tried to suck up some super cold fuel from the tank it basically ran itself out of fuel. Suck. Then I killed the battery trying to fix it...

I would love to see a specific list of the modifications and differences between the two vehicles. With pictures :)

I have still never been able to find a well documented article on the actual differences between the J8 and JKU platforms? I have heard a lot of speculation but never any concrete information..... Anyone?

The newest version of the 2.8 CRD diesel with DPF would have ALMOST met US regulations. I would bet with just a little tweaking it would have worked. It is a fantastic package for the right application. What I don't like about new diesel engines is the inability to be used internationally...

I have had pretty good luck with mine. The truck is about 6800lbs and only slightly front heavy if I remember right. I need to get it back on a scale but I thought it was less than 500lbs different front to rear ( with my camper shell and normal amount of gear in the bed ). It is a WORLD of...

This thread is getting pulled down into the toilet again. Diesel engine swaps are very unregulated in general, as long as it is not a company selling the conversion you are pretty much able to swap in about anything you want.

yeah, I am a wimp these days, it gets into the single digits and a loose motivation :) BRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

Did someone say snow?

Shoot, EJS is in like 3 months!

I'm trying to get motivated to work on my Willys again.... -The T18 and new D18 swap needs to happen. Getting a completely rebuild transmission and t-case in it would be a huge difference. At that point it would be ready for some longer road trip stuff. This swap kinda snowballs a bit however...

Why is everyone so hung up on the HP figure. My 7000lb Dodge truck on 39" tires has all but 160hp from the stock Cummins Engine? You don't see many people complain about that.... I bet the torque this little diesel puts out is probably similar or in excess of what the stock 4cyl engine did in...

Depending on the rear bumpstop location I would probably look at changing that rear shackle design. Can you move the upper shackle mount back a bit?

I totally absolutely support this kind of build. If nobody ever does anything different this board, sport, and lifestyle would flat die. Shame on all those people who are bagging on this guy! SHAME! Here is another small Kubota swap into a flat fender...

Is this a factory start/stop combo? I think that was one of the reasons why the AEV swap was so complex... I thought the newest version of the 2.8 used in Europe was a different engine than the older 2.8 in the liberty? The newest generation has a DPF, start/stop in manual application, the new...

I think so. I didn't get to talk to the driver for very long. He was pretty flustered by the time I showed up. I got the feeling he had been there for a while....
