Taking An Old YJ From Beat Up And Boring To An Awesome All Terrain Jeep - Trucks! S8, E17

We're taking what is considered one of the least desirable Jeeps and making it a true off-road machine. We'll replace a worn out straight 6 with a re-built fuel injected 350 V-8. All this, with a real world budget in mind.

To each their own but a 4.0 performance build would have been cool

[@Billy28376]

Puny 4.0. I’m over here with my 2.5.😂

[@ericwheat9540]

I did this but I swapped a 304 for a 360. It fit perfectly.

[@kevlarhorne]

Why didn’t the cameraman look at the level correctly? Something to hide there??

[@MartinHernandez-qv4vc]

Ok when can I send you my
Yj I've owned since I was 15 years old my dad bought it for me on my 16th birthday I'm 47 and still have it need it to be smog legal

[@sombojoe]

Soo guess I should swap the 4 cylinder in the YJ I’m buying this week? Gaha

[@Ikillintel1]

With all the connections and knowledgeable people here on the show you guys could have built that 4.2L 258 to preform and show it's TRUE potential instead of just another SBC Jeep. Those builds are as common as belly buttons.
Newcomer Racing is building I6 Jeep engines capable of more power and torque than a stock Dodge Demon on race gas.
I'm glad you guys have Jeep love, especially the YJs but the SBC just kills it.

[@rickstrandberg6398]

Next time skip the sbc overhaul please.

[@fredb.6884]

I can’t believe you guys don’t have an engine wash machine as much you build engines…😳🤔

[@m721ac]

Yo where's the next part of this video series???

[@eamonnduensing6153]

finaly i found this episode of the yj. my dad has a yj of the same type and its all built up on a budget. a body lift, suspention lift, big 35" tires, lockers front and rear and more

[@kipper3309]

I can’t wait for part 2!…Awesome vid, guys!!!

[@tharaka853]

FYI that straight 6 is not puny at all. It's one of the best IMO.

[@PontiacBonneville-ut8co]

It's just the 4.2 hooked up to the absolute garbage peugeot transmission. If it was the 4.0l with ax15 I would agree

[@nlopez2909]

I miss truck with Stacey david

[@LittleMikeStarCraft]

now all you see for sale is junk v8 swapped YJ's... and finding one with the 4.0L is hard as hell.

[@ironrupik]

I like painting my engines bright colors to show any oil or exhaust leaks in a hurry.

[@bigghoss762]

The stretched out aspect ratio is giving me a headache. Put black bars on the sides or something and keep the original aspect ratio.

[@maniachill3069]

These guys and their fake acting... 👎

[@spymaine89]

oops, rather see you rebuild original engine.

[@TheMeanderingNomad]

I have a 90 yj. I've got 12 bolt axles under it from an 85 k5 blazer but I want to go ahead and ditch the leaf springs. I'm thinking jk or tj Dana 44s. What would you recommend if you were in my shoes?

[@もふちゃん-x9h]

Because all the staff always work with a feeling that they are accustomed to,I can watch without worry.

[@karp8231]

🤣 I like how they say, "it's all easy"! Come on guys....
Sure, why fixing I6 or replace it with a good one for $1000 if you can spend $15k and get this?🤣
In this case it is cheaper to sell the car for 5-6 k, add those 15 k and buy a 2011 wrangler
Great project but does not worth it at all for 95% of people

[@jackrussellville]

Least desired really? And why not do a 4.7 stroker instead of the tired old 350 that has been done to death

[@exploringwithJim]

Whoa this show is just as good now as when it was first broadcast.

[@bartgoins1782]

Great video. Looking forward to the next episode.
