  • This Jeep is full beast mode! Home built 1 ton axles, home built 500 horsepower 6.0 Chevy LS swap and a never ending list of extras! Andy has been building this Jeep for years and I think you would agree that the juice was worth the squeeze. After spending the last few trips with Kapps (Andy) I felt that it was time to finish our walk around video and share these details with you guys. I get questions about this YJ all the time so I could be happier to sit down with one of my oldest friends and get specific on this off-road masterpiece.

    Perhaps get more closeups of how the builder packaged suspension, engine, trans/ transfer cases... etc, in your walk around vids so those who are looking for ideas can see how the builder accomplished their goals. Awesome footage to show the capabilities of the rig and the in depth discussion of all mods was spot on!

    • @Fix_It_Again_Tony
      @Fix_It_Again_Tony Před 3 lety +3

      I second this. Also any feedback from the builder about the challenges overcome. The detail about how the frame was constructed on this jeep to provide clearance for the axle in the front, but drop down low enough in the middle to protect the drive train was interesting.
      Having some shots on jack stands with the tires off would be cool as well.

    • @amkaperick
      @amkaperick Před 3 lety +3

      I will try to get some photos on my IG of the suspension and clearances as a quick run down some of the biggest challenges were the exhaust routing, coming up with a radiator fan comb that is small enough but adequate. And for sure font axle packaging between upper link mounts hydro bumps steering lines coilover mounts and still have full turning radius.

    That was such a great type of vid to add to your arsenal, nate! I really like the idea of folks talking about their builds, their goals, and how they got to where they are now, and what they'd do differently. This kind of first-hand information is invaluable to people like me who are only a fraction of the way into their builds. My biggest takeaway is that I pretty much need to stop where I'm at with my JKU and get a buggy for the more challenging stuff, so I don't ruin my JK, which is by no means a trailer queen or grocery getter. It gets used hard, but Im not down for the whole body damage/body shop routine. I need to drop the swiss army knife idea and just build another crawler/offroader... to add to the, already bursting quiver of sand rails, quads, side by sides and a track car. Its a sickness, yes, and I'm chest deep!

    I stretched my Defender to 103'' that worked very well. I put my Discovery at 120'' and bobbed the back, clocked the transfer case, also the sills were removed and I built very close sliders that became part of the door jam sill and axle plates.

      @@amkaperick you could keep your transfer case and run a crawl box in front of it but that'll add around 8" to your drivetrain and your low range options would be 2.72 to 1 and 7.4 to 1 which I thought was too low with a V8 and an auto. The other option is one of the crawl boxes to a 205. That'll give you the 2.72 and then a 5.33 to 1 but then your speed sensor will have to be on the transfer case output shaft and I'm not sure how it would shift in low range.

    thanks for the walkaround, this is pretty great but i would love to know belly height.
    also for gear reduction he could look at a ford 205 with a nwf black box that would give a 1.96 low range with an optional 2.72 low range for a total of 5.33 low range with both. that combo would also be an inch or so shorter than the 241 that is currently in there.
    edit: offroad design also makes a version of what nwf markets as their black box.

    Northwestfab makes the eco box and the black box that uses the same np241 6 pinion planetary with the same 2.72:1 gear reduction.

    Have you checked into Offroad Designs doubler systems? Or possibly Northwest Fabworks out of Canada?
