LS Swap Jeep Cherokee hits the road! Plus Welding an Aluminum Intake Tube
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
- I started this project back at the beginning of March, and now its 100% DONE! An LS swap is fun in any project, and an XJ Cherokee is no different. They're lightweight, parts are plentiful, and can make a lot of horsepower with some simple bolt ons. The stock 4.0 jeep inline six was a great and very reliable engine, but of course the LQ4 LS engine is a lot more powerful, plus it sounds a whole lot better as well. This particular engine is a Truck LS, an LQ4 in particular, and features a car LS6 intake manifold, a small cam, Novak headers and swap mounts, a custom built exhaust running 2.5" dual into a single 3" Magnaflow muffler, and the whole thing is constructed from mandrel bent stainless steel, and all tig welded together. Also in this video, I build an aluminum intake tube and give a few fabrication tips, and then it's time to hit the road!

I'm always glad to be finished with any project, but I will be sad to see this one go. It was a blast to work on this XJ, and I cant wait to show you guys what the next project is!
Is there a way where i can contact you?

LT.. An episode on your thoughts of a Frankenstein build would be cool or if somebody has that build like seeing different manufacturers equipment working with one another.. like for me my Frankenstein truck. Is a Cummins (dodge) with a Allison transmission( gm) with banks turbo(s) (ford) would like to hear your insight on what you like from different manufacturers and if you do a build like that.
Is there a way to install a 350 sbc with long tube headers? I know the XJ has limited space but I don't like the hugger headers at all.
I have a jeep that needs a swap! Let me know if you willing to take on another project
Love it, can't wait to come get behind the wheel and test the seat of the pants dyno! See you in a couple of weeks.
Not sure if previously mentioned but if you don’t mind can you say what you paid ?
@@702bikelife2 I’m pretty interested in what LT charged you also. I had a hemi installed in a tj by an outfit in Detroit. They charged me about $7,000 with me providing most of the parts.
@@richardpulliam5475 That's pretty close, including having the drive shafts rebuilt and battery relocated.
@@702bikelife2 about $7k
@@jimmyburks7030 what part of Texas you in? I’m in the dfw area, would love to wheel with you.
This is right next to where I live! Nice to see another XJ on that trail
Absolutely love the fact that it's not loud, and obnoxious.
Pronouns ?
"It'll pass everything...except a gas station!" 😁
It probably gets better gas mileage than it did in the first place
I don't know what MPG it's going to get , the 4.0 was getting 10.5 MPG gotta be better than that but the SPG (Smiles Per Gallon) is going to be off the chart!
Yes, more gas usage... but if you've got the kind of money to do this kind of an extensive build,... money for some extra gas is typically not a problem.
Very cool project! I’ve enjoyed every single episode!
Thats awesome. I actually used to have a 96 xj that I ls swapped. 5.3/4l60e/hybrid np231j. It was crazy fun to drive around.
That thing comes alive when you put your foot in it. I thought that big magnaflow was going to be pretty quiet when you installed it. She has a nice growl.
-t shirt ordered. 👍
I was happy to hear the sound as well, I was worried it would be a little too quiet, but it turned out perfect in my opinion
That was a great series. I loved watching you on Truck Tech and love your channel. Wishing you much success and good fortune. And the scenery around you neighborhood, with the lake and mountains is beautiful. 🤙🏻🇺🇸🛠
This is the biuld that I want to do for my Jeep Cherokee Laredo project
Hell yeah gearheads live for moments like this. Hearing a bad ass engine in an awesome ride. I really want to do an engine upgrade on my XJ, can’t decide wether to go with a 4.0 strokes to 4.7 or go with an LS upgrade. Biggest concern for me is I head out far from home on overlanding trips and I need the rig to be very reliable.
Thanks for inspiration!!!!
Awesome work LT!!! Sounds amazing & I see it put a smile on face push that load peddle down!!!!!
I have a 1992 XJ with a stock 4.0. I live in Ogden, so whenever you do a meet and greet, I will bring it and you are welcome to drive it.
Holley makes some cool CAN network gauges that piggy back on each other I plan to use with my LS project
Haha I couldn’t help but to laugh when that Subaru was passing you and you floored it then chuckled after! So want to do this to my cherokee
But the Subaru still passed it basicalllh effortlessly
@@euba0149 perhaps because it was already rolling with a huge speed advantage? If you watch the video, LT slows down and you see the Subi coming up in the rear-view carrying way more speed than the XJ, it's already going around the XJ before LT even floors it and the XJ downshifts and starts to accelerate. Oh, and it is an STi too...

@@tjadamsZ06 it’s okay to be slow lol . I spend my whole trying to make slow shit fast
Best part of the whole series was at 25:00. Mission Accomplished!! Nice job
I wish we had seen your project earlier. We would have enjoyed working with you on the project. Neat XJ! 👍
Portaband for the tube sawing 👍
Take a little crazy glue to the crack in the window drip rail. Definitely better than the 4.0L in my TJ!
Very cool! I've been daily driving my 01 XJ that I swapped a 6.0 into for 5 or so years. It's bulletproof, and lots of fun.
This is going to be my daily driver/weekend warrior, can't wait to get behind the wheel for the first time.
I loved this particular series and build as I am getting ready to do this exact swap in my wife's 1996 XJ Cherokee. Your attention to detail is top notch nice job.
How is it going with the swap
Great job LT. You have the same problem as me while driving the LS XJ, every time you step on the loud paddle you smile.
yeah, it definitely gives it a different feel on the street for sure. you gotta be on your toes
As usual, your attention to detail, both in the build and in the presentation, are top shelf.
Hey keep in mind when your cutting aluminum, you can use wood blades in a chop saw and for sheets a plain old circular saw and wd40
Man this a awesome video, and a Texas Jeep! I just picked my donor up today, 03 5.3 can’t wait. Although I’ll be keeping the AW4
LT, I had a 2006 Rubicon (TJ) with the 4.0 straight six. No joke, I used to ease it up to some pretty gnarly hills, put it in 4L, 1st gear and just ease off the clutch. It would idle up them. Great motor! I replaced it with a 2010 Rubicon (JK) with the 3.whatever V6. That motor would not repeat the trick. Not enough torque at that low of an RPM. They were both great off-road, but the JK was better on the highway. lol. Next Rubicon will be the new one with the Hemi in it.

VERY NICE BEAD ON THAT ! !
NICE WELD SIR !
thanks! I always struggle with Aluminum
i see you watching for the po-po in the rearview on those pulls!
I have a super clean xj rig ive been fixing up looking to swap in the near future, after seeing your very hard and very clean work i would look forward to have u be the one doin the swap 👍💪
After attending lsfest all I can think about is an ls swap into my 2000 S10. This build makes me want to do it even more!
With a lot of work and dedication it’s amazing what someone can accomplish. My goal is to be this talented
Seems to accelerate at part throttle really easily, and sounds really good. I'm sure the customer will be pleased.
I love an XJ with a 4.0 and gears..I love a 5.3 or 6.0 too. I'm kinda torn. I know no one asked but I think I'd stick with the 4.0. Looks and sounds great though 👍👍
Come out to California, my son just bought one with a 6” and 33”s. I’m sure that he would let you wheel it!🤘🏻
Use a nice miter saw with a fine tooth, above 60T, carbide blade. Makes a real accurate smooth cut in aluminum, it is what we use to cut the frames when building aluminum patio rooms.
Nice way to end the build, waiting to get my project off putting a 5.3 into my tahoe
Sounds great. Congrats on the first build for a customer now that you're on your own. Cant wait to see what's next, LT
Use a wood blade on the chop saw to cut aluminum. Works great.
I like to change the idle speed and let the engine idle and learn all over the place until I'm certain it won't stall. That helps develop a base fuel map under no load. On my sniper, I can adjust the idle from 400 to 2500rpms. If it knows the fuel requirements from 400 to 2500 under no load, you're less likely to get stranded. It makes the first drive a lot more enjoyable. My closed loop compensation often flutters between 0% and -0% while cruising. Seeing as much as 2% is a big change. She's pretty dialed in after running on my daily driver.
Your fabrication and tig skills are outstanding! Loved watching this build as an XJ owner myself.
Awesome project fellow Mainiac. You gotta talk to Keeps, I'm 99% positive they would sponsor you. I think the Holley will talk directly to the jeep canbus. EFI 101 has a good canbus how to.
Can you send me a link to this? if it will my life just got better! Thanks
@@jimmyburks7030 I was wrong about that one. Holley is definitely not Syvecs. I think I figured out a way to do it. www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/fuel_injection/modules_and_sensors/parts/554-165
This is an I/O expansion module that can output analog and digital output. Oil pressure, temperature, and voltage are analog. Like a 5 volt reference adjusted by the resistance in the sensor. Speed, rpm, and such are digital pulse output. Like a square wave from 0v to 5v to 0v at a certain speed for crank and cam position and so on.
You may be able to use the i/o module to send the signals to the OEM ecu and it gets converted to canbus there. There are other ways to do it.

I definitely want this done to my 2-Door XJ!
Now that is a big success! Those aluminum welding skills are awesome!
I just new you could not resist burning up some of his nice off road tires.
Awesome job brother !
LT, that intro totally reminded me of the neighborhood of Edward Scissorhands. Just creepily in the middle of nowhere!
I think we just seen every dump truck in Utah during the road footage! Holy buckets!!
It’s definitely starting to be construction season here lol.
nice, love the last launch, never see a jeepster jump out like that!
Jeep looks awesome ,Love the stance on the jeep.. had a 2001 but 4 door.. loved it, ls swapp was the plan but had to sell it..
My 96. Xj got ripped off, but I'm loving that build 😎
Nice XJ!
I have a 1992 Cherokee Laredo Jeep in good condition no rust thinking about the same
Clean and absolutely OCD about a perfect install. You did it again!
thanks!
That was absolute Awesome. I have a 99 XJ that i would Love to do an ls swap someday ! Cheers
That’s awesome. I miss my xj. Only thing I’d change is make it a little louder
Sweet xj man, I have a 2 door that is a long work in progress but i've always loved these two door xjs so it might take a while to get her where I want it, but by god i'll get there! Till then i'll watch guys like you and keep me motivated!
Awesome build!! I did find the bit where you pre-fitted the intake tube and marked it before cutting to be unnecessary since you put it in a rubber elbow.😄I probably would have done that and then been my own worse critique. 🙃
I would of loved to see a before, 0-60 and then an after 0-60! But besides that a wonderful video! Double thumbs up!
thats an awesome swap, you should post up customers reactions
Sweet ride
Nice attention to detail. Your work is very nicely done. If I had the money I would have you do my XJ too.
I dig the new shirt. The family crest one isn't really my style. American flag? Check. Tolman Performance? One of my favorite UA-cam channels. Check. Ugly truck? Hell yeah. Check. I'm in dude.
Glad to see the xj running. On to the next badass project. Can't wait to see what's next. The channel is getting close to your goal. You'll hit a point and then explode.
Very cool! I have a 2001 4 door XJ in the same color and eventually want to do a LS swap. Awesome video series 👍
Loved the burnout at the end, was hoping to see that lol. Great job LT
I daily drive my xj on a 3" lift and 33" tires. Ive got 4.56 gears so a little high but on road cruising at 75 and even 80 there is no steering wheel shake or anything. The low center of gravity and wider wheel base really makes the thing feel planted. Makes me want to LS swap mine or maybe even 1jz swap as ive seen someone do before.
I think a JZ would be awesome...
Congrats on a successful completion to the project.
Looking good! Great job on the build LT! What's next?
A ZJ with an LS9....
Great job man 👌 followed this build all the way through 👍👍👍
Nice job man!
Yes! I love my XJs!!!
Looks amazing at hill climb. Lots of power.
Such an awesome build I really like it! I think i would've tried to put the air filter in the cowl like the THOR intake if space allowed, it looks pretty tight though. Nice job!
Super cool build man you killed this install 👌
Your not missing much on the 4.0 liter.. reliable but much in the power side of things..
That look on your face when you punched it, classic. Well done 👍.
Great Job!
With an adopter the gages can display on that stereo screen
You can loosen up the steering box a bit or drop 8 lbs out of the tires to smooth the steering out.
You're an Amazing Mechanic Man!
Thanks 👍
I got a 2001 Chevy suburban 4 wheel drive 3/4 ton that I put the 408 cubic in LS and it which makes it a 6.7 l it has 555tq at the crank 361tq on the ground
Awesome job LT, it sounds nasty n hopefully we'll see some wheeling action soon!
Fingers crossed!
23:15 In Morgan Freemams voice: and he never did. He was too busy with the other projects
You can come get mine lol it’s a 89 with a 4.0 5spd it’s “stock”ish just has a stainless steel header with a 2.5in exhaust that was custom with a 95 intake and 60mm throttle body
I just stumbled on your channel with this video, and noticed Mount Timpanogos in one of your shots. Pretty cool to see someone in Utah, looks like you were on the opposite side of Utah lake from me.
As a 4.0 owner i can tell you NIGHT/DAY difference 😂
you can most certainly run a gas lens with AC, like 6-8 size. you may be confusing using something like those really large glass cups.
Also wanna see more of this jeep if the owner does any videos I'm sure everyone wants to see this thing in action
Excellent work bro!
I’ll be Happy if I can find me a old xj and stuff my 4.8 and trans from my pick up into it..
Great job -Very Clean!
I have the almost exact same Jeep, same long arm kit but with frame stiffeners, a hybrid internal and external cage. Would you like to do another project like that :). Just found your channel and subscribed and rang the bell
thanks for the sub! it'll probably be a while before I do another Jeep to be honest, but that was a fun project nonetheless
@@LawrenceTolman You’re Welcome! Thank you for the how to guide and videos. Where did you guys get that engine and transmission? Did the owner of the XJ source it or did you find it?
Very nice setup
Man that is an awesome build. I’ve got a four door xj with a five speed. I would have to figure out how to get it with a stick.
KMC machetes are the wheels. Had the same wheels and tires on my XJ
Damn really wish I had the funds to build something this cool or at least LS swap my XJ
If you were in TX, I'd bring you my wagoneer
So overall what would something like that cost? I have a 98 xj 4 door and have thought about doing this but I'm all over the board about it.
Wicked as mate
thanks!
hahahah when you explained the steering thats exactly how my XJ is so that makes me feel better
No it should make you want to fix it lol,
@@kylancook3477 theres not really fixing it lol the bigger tires just give it less handling theres no way around it everything tight
@@tylermorris9196 i beg to differ, will it handle like a race car? No, but it shouldn't feel loose or like its wandering. Its just time and money tho right? In the end in just glad you still drive you xj and not let it sit!
@@kylancook3477 there are some upgrades i could do to account for the bigger tires yes, but it'll hold 75 on the highway fine with my 33s. its fun to drive, except for eastern colorado cross winds......... no thx
Outstanding work Sir
Many thanks
