This weeks questions are GREAT!!! Can you fit a TJ gas tank in the back of a JK chassis and yes you can but it does take a lot of work and I don't think it will work in an actual JK. What are my strengths and weaknesses as a mechanic/technician, and I feel that my ability to diagnose a vehicle before fixing it would be my biggest strength. Finally is IFS IRS as strong as solid axles.....and why or why not!!!

Great answer to the strengths and weaknesses question! I've been a tech for 15+ years and there's always more to learn. The guys who say they know it all are the guys you find moving from shop to shop all the time. For the last 3 years I've been with BMW and it has been incredible. Their training is top notch and teaches you proper diagnostic techniques that you can apply anywhere in the field. BMW is also at the leading edge of automotive technology, so there is always new things to learn! Working on such advanced vehicles all day makes working on my 94 ZJ refreshing and simple!
I'm five years into diesel maintenance and I have just now started to get into the more interesting side of things. The place I started had all new buses so I was mostly doing oil changes, tires and brakes mixed in with minor electrical work. I've changed my first Allison transmission this year and some other more complicated jobs. I still feel brand new. I just try to learn from the guys around me and pick up all tips and tricks I can. I worked myself into the slot without any school so I feel like I have to make the most of the experience around me.
We can always learn new things. As a mechanic/technician for 30 plus years, I’m always looking to learn more. Great video man
the difference between a mechanic and a tech is that a mechanic learned to listen to the vehicle and diagnose and fix the problem as well as why the problem occurred in the first place. a tech, plugs a car in to a computer and replaces the parts they tell them to replace. a tech has a whole series of different skill sets than a mechanic has. I grew up in the same age as you and consider myself a mechanic. I can set points with a match book and actually tune a carb or set the timing on a mechanical fuel injection set-up. I still find myself listening to my vehicles run down the road, how they shift and what they smell like. it's been many years since I was a paid mechanic, but it never leaves you.
I don't know why but when you said "It's time for this weeks where is it now" I was totally expecting the Stacy David intro to "What are you working on" Lol.
THanks for sharing, I always enjoy the Q&A sessions.. you are still teaching !
Been learning how to weld. I regretted missing my chance earlier in life. Last year I met a HS Autoshop Teacher and he offered to let me use the welder during their Open House. So once a week I go down there and spend 2-4hrs welding. Its gotten to the point where I'm able to help the kids set up the machine and weld. Gonna try learning to use the Plasma cutter soon. Oh and I'm a YJ'er! My first car was my YJ which I still have 30 some years later.
Hopefully the wd-40 jeep isn’t just mall crawling to target 😂
Thanks for answering my question Ian
As a previous swing axle VW bus owner, the reduction gear boxes (same as a portal) would cause the rear of the vehicle to lift under power. To the extent that a big HP one will jump off the ground.
Always had toyotas, now im gonna have fun wrenching on a new to me 2018 jku, the aftermarket is strong
Hey Ian, I think if you stop learning you "shrivel-up & fade away". I'm 69 & still own a automotive shop! Today I learned to reprogram a (GM Yukon) master power window switch. Yes, you have to program the switch thru the body computer, not just plug & play. So, your correct don't stop learning.
I would consider Ian Johnson as well as myself as a diagnostician . Hiya Ian, been watching you since your 4 wheeler days.
Hey Ian, got a question for you. What would be the best bang for your buck, efi engine for a daily plus trail rig when it comes to power and reliability? We are talking going to the junkyard and purchasing a bone stock engine and computer to put in your rig. Loving all the tech talks and the builds!
I ended up putting together the 4 link on the MJ over the weekend and I can definitely see what you were saying about what packaging will allow. Ended up being yet another happy accident for the win.
We missed you busy guy.
My strength is actually a/c work and my weakness is also can data link and communication between ecm's. Im field service for a CAT dealer.
Hey Ian, you answered one of my questions in a CZcams video. I sent in my address and never got a response or received any stickers. Not trying to be obnoxious or ungrateful, just unsure if I am doing something wrong. Thank you!
Ian, I am working through the EVAP / fuel system on a project to run out here on the west cost. Talk about new educational deep dive. The largest issue was around OEM fittings, ECU connections, and needs to allow the rig to run on the street in my city (licensing and DEQ requirements).
I know of a few guys running TJ tanks in their JKs.. I’m planning on doing the same, and I don’t think anyone cut body mounts. Just a though for discussion. More research continues….
YJs, the best of the Jeep years. Everyone knows its hip to be square(headlighted).😎😁
What are today's top five shop tool must haves for the average garage builder, and how has that list changed over the last decade?
I even wear my brunt work boots on the weekend
Great video.
I would love to see you install and test the 4 GEAR ULTIMATE JEEP PORTAL on one of your Jeeps. Thanks
Just waiting to find out where the Dakota shop truck is lol
Question: what body mount bushings do you use on your custom builds? Do you always have a 2 piece (above and below body mount) when building a custom rig?
Hi! Speaking of yj's and how about the yellow Yj i think it was one of the first rigs done on that show. Back then i discover your show because i wanna a solution for the leaf springs on my nissan patrol 260. Keep up!😊
Keep er Rollin 😎🪖🕺💃
Regarding rear leafs, spring under or spring over? Thoughts on ubolt eliminator perches?
Ian, fix the BRUNT website link. Keep up the GREAT videos sir.
Genright makes a tank that fits in the back of a jk.
Surprised no one knows where the wd40 jeep is. Thought it would be in the comments.
Question - is there a build video of your shop truck?
Hi I a wondering what size tank should you have on a 4 wheeling rig. I am talking about a trail and rock crawling like you do. Love you videos
The mechanics that grow parts at repair, I grew up calling it a shotgun repair mechanic which is a poor mechanic.
When building trailing arms can you turn the bolts the other direction so You don't have to worry about breaking them
I need a shop first
Canadian Boout is the best ! LOL
what is the best bang for the buck way to get the most suspension travel, leaf springs or coil overs? and how would you achieve this? and also, how important are leaf spring shackle angles?
Have you been to AOAA in pa any plans to come east
What's your thoughts on portals for ifs? Can they be run on a daily driver/weekend warrior?
There’s no reason you can’t run them as a daily driver. Just keep up the maintenance. Their just like a manual transmission. The hardest part about portals for the street is gearing everything else high enough (low numerically) to run down the freeway at a comfortable engine speed. It gets easier with bigger tires, but still.
gotta learn how to tune my fitech efi system, has all sorts of drivability issues.
I just got a new rock crawler and want to build a cage and bumpers for it. I want to buy a bender and maybe notcher. Where should I start with type of machines or tools and how to get started with bending tube for my cage? I'm not a professional builder and would just be for personal projects. What are some ways to learn the math behind the bends?
great video
VW .... Had the gear reduction setup on their Buses years ago
Hey so I am in the starting stages of getting all the parts to sas front and rear my 07 exploder. I would like to run 37's. But it's not going to be a full on crawler more of an overland. My debt is one tons from a super duty or just going d44 out of a jk. Just looking for your info on what way to go. One tons are more available and cheaper but I don't think I would need to be that wide and it's only a 4.0 in there for now. Thanks in advance
Steve
Question: when unit bearings first came out nobody wanted them and seems like they didn’t last that long. Lately I’ve been seeing you install unit bearings on rigs. Are they getting better or what is the reasoning for this? I have a 2001 ford super duty front axle I want to put dually adapter on. Will unit bearings hold up to this. Truck is just used for on road driving/towing.
Hey Ian. Would bolting portals on a vehicle like a jeep add extensive extra stress to the stock suspension? For example, affecting anti-squat or anti-dive.
I have 67 international step side pick. I need a new fuel tank for it. Where can I find someone to build one?
I know it's not in this video but curious what the wheelbase on the yj shop truck is
Just ordered a set of method 703 bronze wheels for my 22 lunar rock Toyota Tacoma. Could you recommend a nice all terrain? 90% road 10% off road on mostly dry trails in Kentucky.
I want to build a 1st gen scion xb into a "modern 4 door samurai" I'm thinking 29-33s, kind of whatever works when i get into it, samurai or yota axles, I'd try to just turn the engine the right direction and keep it stock and reliable. I know there would be Floorplan mods and all that but Now to my question, I'm at a loss for a good trans and transfer case option, I'd prefer to skip the samurai stuff just to avoid the divorced case and arguable weaknesses there, I'd like a good trans that would bolt to the stock Toyota 1.5 engine, and preferably something that has doubler options available. Hopefully the question makes sense
I'm gonna learn a bunch, wild idea to put a volvo b5244t2 in a 98 xj ? What do you think ?
Do you actually like monster transmission? I've heard they have a terrible reputation
Hey Ian, was watching the survival suburban, how did you do the pass through center axle?
It was a pinion support system made by scs drop box that drove the front axle and also the rear
@@BigTireGarage thanks Ian! Do you miss doing a Tim’s run since you moved to the states?
👍👍
Question: what are the best mods for an 06 F250 (gasser) for mild off roading and camping?
seeing as how this is a Q & A session I got a question for ya. Would it be possible to run a set of 14" coils on a 16" coil over shock? the reason I ask is that I am in the process of swapping one-ton axles under my lj and I came across o set of new used coil overs for a good price, I have since put on new coils and it sits a little higher than id like. I currently have 7" of shock shaft showing and i wanted 4"-5" of shaft showing. Yes, I know I'd have to run limit straps to keep the coils from unseating but would it be possible to run those to get my jeep to sit lower without sacrificing the spring preload. Thanks for your time and help.
Ian what brand of shirt do you have always try to see the tag but to no avail.
Dixxon
Building a manual wheeler, trying to think of the best parking brake set up as I'm converting from drums to discs in the back. Would it be worth it to put in a hydraulic hand brake? or would cable actuated be best?
I have used the Eldorado calipers and they work well as long as you adjust them correctly
I'm working on re-building a 76 Jeep CJ7. I've replace the radiator with an Aluminum one. Is there a specific Antifreeze I should use now that I've switched?
Nope.....as long as you use some type of antifreeze coolant you will be fine
What are your thoughts on 2” wheel spacers on a rock crawler? I found a set of 40 spline 14bolts but they are 70” wms, I’d like to push them out to 74” wms
Lots of guys run em..I have some .75" ones on my 715
@@BigTireGarage cool thanks man!
I have a 98 ram with the 5.9 Cummins and I have replaced the ball joints and put a red top steering box in new shocks and stabilizer shock. I don't know what else to change on the front end. Because my steering wheel is still sloppy and drifts on the road. Please help Because it is being rebuilt body wise and this is my bucket list truck and I will be keeping it and I will leave it to my Grandson when I get called home. God bless
Larry, look for frame flex at the steering box. A bracket that ties the box to the frame on each side helps alot.
@Bill Langdon I put on a off road bracket for the flex. But it didn't do crap. I'm a a loss and can't figure out where to go. Besides, changes all of the bushings. Thank you for your time to help me try to figure this out. God bless
👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽
parts changers are not truly mechanics are they ? and so sad they spend peoples hard earned money
