From Spain, new follower. Owner of a TJ in Canary Islands. I love your jeep man..and i have enjoyed a lot with your strong American accent. I get 60 to 70% you say..i am pretty sure in few videos more i will understand almost everything. Take care there guys
Thanks so much for all the closeups and going over every detail. I am considering chopping the rear frame for the same purpose and this is the first time I've had a chance to see the finished product. Thanks so much answered so many questions I've had for a while
Easy for most folks to not appreciate the massiveness of a 42" tire. When one stands beside it and the hood is head high one then is impressed. While this build is absolutely awesome in person, it's real strength shows out on the trail. It's growl when working up an obstacle sounds more like race day than it's humble start. And Eric can and is not afraid to drive it!
I grew up outside of Memphis but have been living in Colorado for 20 years. We still get back there to see family. I think you guys do the best JK work out there. I might have to bring my JK to you guys one day down the road
Thinking of running 62's on my 2007 PT Cruiser, and slapping on a Jeep grille and headlights and doing the 2CV crate swap with Citroën long arm suspension. Lots of inspiration here, great build!
Do you guys sell the rear 4 link crossmember that works with the motobilt backhalf kit? Im about to start on a similar project when I get stationed stateside again and Im a big fan of the packaging.
Is that final ride height, or still tuning? I ask because it's sitting on the bump stops, which seems counter productive to driving on rough roads. Jeep sounds and looks killer!
rwills42 it is at ride height in this video. In its current form it’s set up for about 3 inches of up travel and the rest is down travel for crawling in our area. The bump stop is a little inboard of the coil over and the coilover when articulating will bottom out at the same time the bump stop bottoms out.
Rwills42 This jeep has a good amount of anti squat with the rear crossmember set up. While that lifts the vehicle while pushing the tires down under acceleration, it works backwards when in reverse. When this video was taken it had been backed into the position you see here. So it had sucked the suspension down a decent amount. At true ride height it has about 1 inch of gap between the bump pad. Here on the east coast that is plenty to absorb or terrain.
Hello ! Thank you very much for your support in our doubts and congratulations on your channel. I hope you are well and that all this will pass soon to go back to the off road. I would like to ask you if the rubicon 2014 manual transmission will I also need to program the computer if I put 37 tires? in your opinion which is better for off road manual or automatic transmission? Thank you very much and greetings. Fermin
Ralph Muro VVT delete for dependability Automatic since there wasn’t a manual option that still had cruise, ABS, and traction control with full function with the can bus. You can downshift and up shift with the steering wheel controls (not shown in the video).
The GM lifters collapse after a while and make the motor run like shit. People replace them with solid lifters so they don't run into issues later on. The newer engines use the hydraulic lifters and special valving to turn off some cylinders on hwy cruise.
Aarnold Grabski The lifters are swapped in this engine. It has TSP Cam,VVT delete, Lifters, chromo push rods, PAC high lift valve springs, CAI, CATs delete, then some custom tuning. Runs hard and is reliable
Thanks for the responses. My build has a 5.7 Hemi VVT motor with manual. I am always interested in why people make their choices. I can tell you that while I love stick shifts I think the v8 experience would be better with an auto.. plus I probably would have went up one more gear size if I had a tranny with more legs... current setup is sitting at 2500 rpm at 75mph on 40s and a 4:88 ratio. It took getting to the 40s to being the Roma to respectable level 😉
I mean sure, but cruise control, A/C, heat, and room for the family for a trip to get ice cream is nice. Either way, this guy has a buggy in addition to the JK!
@rockyour4x4 it's got half doors, a steel roll cage, and a rag top. Something tells me cruise control, ac and heat wasn't at the top of the list. Also why no rcv axles?
Over the top build! Personally I’d appreciate more if it was still manual. But then again there aren’t many options out there for V8 manual transmission conversion.
A very well thought out production. Very excellent.

Amazing rig!! Probably worth more than my house. 😂
Nice. Build 👍
Awesome rig. Was taking notes all video
Absolutely perfect video and jeep. Speechless.
Man, this is a flawless Jeep. Love this build!
Do more build post like this. I love looking at the level of rigs y’all work on

My god, I need one LOL Awesome set up!!
I like the build video, would love to see some more build videos
Love watching your videos 👍
Incredible!!!
Gollie you guys do awesome work. Very well thought out and super clean!

Sounds good
Wow awesome build

Go for it!
Best looking JK out there!!
Great build
Beautiful rig 👍
Oh so jealous ! Very nice rig
Wow that is awesome
Nice rig dude, very nice.
My dream build love it
that's one beautiful jeep. perfection..
Beutiful rig!!!
A BEAST
Do u reckon you could include a parts list on here that way we can look up some of these parts to buy
I heard no mention but I'm pretty sure saw a 1 or 1.25" body lift? Awesome build btw!
Yes, 1” body lift
@@rockyour4x4 I'm bummed VKS closed, I wanted their rock sliders...
@@LTUSATV we all are
Same here loved their sliders
Awesome build. One day
Do you guys sell the rear 4 link crossmember that works with the motobilt backhalf kit? Im about to start on a similar project when I get stationed stateside again and Im a big fan of the packaging.
Nice rig no doubt
i love those doors..did yall custom make those?
JCR Off Road
Do you have a link for the mirrors?
Sorry if I missed it, what doors are you running?
JCR
Nice build, but seems like a lot of money to not have a full cage in it. The owner have any plans for a cage? And those half doors look pimp.
Dream build.
Perfect rig. Not a bad way to spend $100k 😎
What powder coat sheen did you use on the bumpers / fenders? Thanks.
That’s BK109 powdercoat code
Is that final ride height, or still tuning? I ask because it's sitting on the bump stops, which seems counter productive to driving on rough roads. Jeep sounds and looks killer!
Does look a little low for final ride height.
rwills42 it is at ride height in this video. In its current form it’s set up for about 3 inches of up travel and the rest is down travel for crawling in our area.

@@jessebryant8641 as long as the owner is happy with it, then great build. Thank you for clarifying.
Nice jeep! How much did you spend on that jeep
This Jeep has had over $100,000 invested.
The reason is doesn’t in the pic when you back up it sucks suspension down. At ride height there is space.

2014 will need reprogrammed only if you want your speedometer to be accurate.
RockYour4x4 Thanks
How long is it taking you guys to get Dynatrac 60s rite now?
4 months as of 8/8/21
What kind of paint do y’all use? Definitely don’t seem like rattle can paint
For touch up, frames, brackets we use Seymour MRO or VHT Epoxy
Hi! We are looking for JEEP JK/JKU owners to test LED tail lights, are you interested?
Nope!
whats the usual price tag to swap a 07 wrangler jku to a v8 like a 6.0 or a hemi swap
With a used engine it’s in the neighborhood of $20-22,000.
Why the VVT delete? And why did you decide to go with automatic?

What would a build like this cost ?
You’d have 60-70K in it I’m sure.
For all the money you have in that you could've had a rock bouncer.
That couldn’t be driven in the road….

He hasn’t broke one of these shafts to date as far as I know.
Nice walk around and all but the show starts at 20:50 ;)
Dude plays hard with it, that is the best part
What width is the axles? 68.5 or wider?
Liston those are 68.5 but with 2” wheel spacers
Can you tell us more about the spacers?
Where from, etc?
Those are Ballistic Fabrication spacers
Do you guys see any issues with running that much spacer on a 42” tire?
Haven’t had any issues yet.
Should have put a Hemi in it.
SIck ass Jeep!
Over the top build! Personally I’d appreciate more if it was still manual. But then again there aren’t many options out there for V8 manual transmission conversion.
Deep pockets or build over years? Lol
Gio Lucero built over years, just the largest part was recently
@@rockyour4x4 I see, it's a dope a** build for sure! Would like to visit your shop one day
Gio Lucero sure thing. We have lots of out of town visitors.
What's it weigh ?
I’d say probably around 6200 pounds.
People pour thousands into these I don’t get it. “ITs A jEeP tHiNg”
