Congrats Tim ! I bet LT enjoyed hearing his new heart come to life. Gonna be Bad Azz when you actually get it installed. Enjoy seeing your progress. Thumbs Up !
VICTORY!!! The Kubota powered CJ5 is one of my favorite projects! Best part though is when the oil shoot out.... dead silence......"Oh Crap"....... Ha Ha Ha. Congrats on the Motor! Also Thanks again for the Stickers!!
There are SO many things different on your engine than mine! Glad the starter worked and it sounds great! I ended up bypassing my mechanic lift pump and used a lift pump in my tank designed for a cummins I believe. It made bleeding the fuel system SO much easier! Just crack the nuts from the hard lines to the injectors and open the bleeder valve and let the lift pump in the tank do the rest of the work!
You've got a crew cab. Already had that single cab. So I'm guessing... extended cab to complete the family! Excited to see the Kubota bring new life to the Jeep as well!
New subscriber here. I’m doing a swap into my ranger. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I work on these for a living. I got mine out of a old retired reefer unit from work.
The Kubota engines from the factory are detuned something like 70% for reliability so you can really turn the wick up on these little engines. You won't get 12v power out of them but for their compact size and weight they do fantastic!
Who's excited? 🙋♂️

Nice little reefer motor. Lots of junk yards and places that sell storage trailers will have parts for that motor. Good video.
Thanks 👍

I'll have to look at that cause that was a lot of pumping to prime the system 😂

Not an extended cab 🤔
Ah man I can't wait to see this go together!
Me too!
A good 10 minutes to sit through and then play music when it finally starts is such a slap in the face for Diesel fan... Not nice...
What an awesome idea!
Thanks man! It's going to be an awesome rig when it's done
Good video and good work Tim. Thanks for what you do. Where’d your short pants go 🤣
It got cold! I had to bust out my holy jeans 😂
Heck yeah man! Congrats!
It was such an amazing feeling to get it running. Seriously couldn't stop smiling. 😁
@@decentgarage I think you’re going to have one awesome Jeep and I can’t wait to see it!
Nice one ! I hope the 1st gen is a 4wd 😬🤞🏻
Just got home from picking it up!

Awesome! Thanks for subscribing. I do have lots of questions actually. Are you on instagram or Facebook?
thats gonna be fun in the Jeep...are they as easy to mod/make power as the Cummins 12v are?

Yeah, it won't be near as powerful as a Cummins but for how light they are they do produce great power with is perfect for this tiny jeep.
Awesome, but putting music over the startup was a mistake.
Ken stauffer of kubota swappers. Rusty autoholic guy. He swapped a 2403 in his wrangler. Swapping a 2203 in my b2200 mazda
Thanks! I'm in talks with both of them.
89 two wheel drive, long bed, red and white, with and automatic transmission. That's my guess
You got one thing right! The rest is all wrong. It is red and white.👍
I know nothing about that Kubota engine.
What is it? Whats engines is it like? How big is it and why use that as a swap?
Sweet!
Single cab short bed 2wd
Interesting guess
Bet ya got a cummins ramcharger ;)
Yes!!! More competition for the DeathCharger!!!
Yeeeahh.. she purrs good... ok now put it in the jeep befor it snows. Lol..
I should start tearing down the jeep in the next month or so. I'll be working on that build all winter
6door
Someday!
