    Yes make the episodes longer, however, whoever does your music composing should get a freaking raise, that is some legit sound bits, and it works well with whats going on in the show.

    My favorite episode thus far; mainly due to the uniqueness of the body and your choice of power plant. Not to mention it will be a dual purpose rig, street and trail.

    When my home remodeling projects is done. Which includes a project barn, so the daily drivers can use the garage. I plan to put one of those R2.8's in my '96 Jeep ZJ project. I also have a '78 Dodge van that was going to get a 4bt motor. But the R2.8 is lighter and quieter.

    Great show idea, been wondering about fitment, I went with a AMC 401, 700R4, 241C, in my 1949 Willys Wagon, even with a SYE kit makes for a short driveshaft. Your Krazy Krawler, spring over will probably not have any issues with front axel clearancing, on a closer to stock application , might be an issue. I do like this powerplant kit, waitng for the video.

    37 year career as a heavy duty truck tec
    Cummins mid range specialist
    Never did I support an engine by the vibration damper or crank shaft
    We had a bunch of engine support brackets
    That I built that supported the engines along the pan rail (channel type iron with the u facing outwards on top of channel with a pocket for a hyd jack and room for jack stands)

    Hey Ian, I know your getting close to looking at wheel and tire packages and I was wondering about bead-locks. Why are most bead-locks illegal for street use? What are some DOT legal options that doesn't include the double bead solution? I want to make a street legal version of a stadium super truck but I don't want to have to remount my tires when I transition from off road too on road.

    • @BigTireGarage
      @BigTireGarage  4 роки тому +3

      The DOT legal beadlocks are few and far between but you can look at Hutchinson or similar wheels that carry a DOT rating

  • @pcx4545
    @pcx4545 4 роки тому +1

    That Cummins engine is not the best option cost and performance-wise, sure it's brand new and turbo diesel but come on, anybody knows that the best swap for a rig like that one would be a LS engine, the diesel MAY be more fuel efficient, but the LS has inmediate power at the touch of the throttle and it doesn't have to wait for the turbo to spool up, i've seen the Range Rover with that Cummins 2.8 of the Ultimate Adventure series and that rig is a pig, totally underpowered, those diesel engines has a very narrow powerband, the LS pulls from almost idle to redline

    • @BigTireGarage
      @BigTireGarage  4 роки тому +2

      A lot of that has to do with the weight and gearing in the vehicle. I have MANY rigs with LS engines under the hood and yes they are great..but this particular engine is perfect for this rig
