      EC - Did you get a kit for this swap or did you fab it yourself? Combination of the two?

    Very cool project. I think the Cummins is perfect for a TJ.

    @jeffmurphy9987 Рік тому +4

    I guess it depends on where you’re planning on taking ur Jeep. I live in Ky and my TJ works perfect since my terrain is very wooded and narrow so the short wheelbase and torque of the 4.0 works exceptionally well. But very neat idea.

      Why would they ditch DED? Lots of guys like simple bolt on stuff but I think it's a smaller or younger fan community. Maybe I am wrong but if so I am fine with it😄

    It’s funny to me how he was talking about the reliability of the 5.0 titan. My dad bought one and it had a rod knock after 15k. Maybe because it was a really early model but who knows

      But I do agree that the last real jeep was a TJ
