Thank you, I appreciate the comments. Mike

To answer the OP's question, I've run both and prefer the cam style but have not run it in combination with the friction sway control device as shown above. I feel the cam style are a smoother operating hitch and also provide some sway control due to their inherent active design. Other key...

Major milestone on the project last night. Everything in the engine bay is complete as well as the interior and interior all put back together. To the untrained eye this thing pretty much looks factory, which was the exact visual affect I was going for. I wasn’t able to get my air intake duct...

It's pretty "high techy techy".:rofl: Turn the key on/engine off and push the accelerator pedal three times in less than 10-seconds and the oil life monitor resets. Then just cycle the key and start it and she's ready to go until the algorithm decides the oil is ready to be changed again. Mike

Thank you. I appreciate that. I've tried to take care of her even though I use it quite a bit off-road. I feel like it's in very good condition for as much off-road use as it sees and being 8 years old with nearly 100k miles. I felt like it was the perfect candidate for a little upgrade in...

Thanks Russ, I appreciate that. Mike

Just saw this build. Great job. Subscribed. Mike

Welcome to the area Alex. Mike

I am currently running the Teraflex Big Brake kit with the larger rotors and new dual piston calipers on the front. I chose to go with the slotted rotors. I also installed the big bore master cylinder after the brake install because the pedal had a bit more travel due to the larger volume of...

WooHoo. SUCCESS!!!! She runs. Saturday was a long day of knocking items off of my list but she runs. But before I get to the details some teaser shots of the new tires & wheels. I dropped off my new 37” Nitto Ridge Grapplers and my new Raceline Avenger wheels at my local tire shop this...

Sorry, I'm a bit behind on pictures and documentation. It's been a long weekend. Here is my progress from last Friday night's work. I didn’t get as much done as I had hoped to on Friday due to when I arrived home from work my neighbor was practically waiting on my doorstep to take a look at...

I have to say, the first half of this project sailed by but the last little bit with all the tedious details feels like I’m moving at a snails pace. I really am working diligently on it despite what the pictures say.:D Ran the power, ground and signal wires for the electric fan. Again I put...

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the comments. Mike

Good point on the drain, even though we live in a desert and the condensation is minimal plan on a way to evacuate it. At my last shop that was all run in copper pipe I ran a "T" with the fitting and then below the "T" about 6" of copper with a ball valve for a drain. In my new Aircom system...

Last night was a very productive evening. I started by removing the OEM split loom from my battery cables and replaced it with some abrasion resistant wrap. One cable is my ground that attaches to the body and the other is the positive to the TIPM. I worked on getting the cooling system...

Thanks. I appreciate that . Mike

Agreed. When I built my first shop in '91 I built an insulated closet for my air compressor with air around my workbenches along the back wall only. The air compressor could still be heard quite substantially but much better than out in the open. I also found that over the 26 years of working...

That is going to be sweet. Mike

That's AWESOME! Love it. Mike

Wow, thanks Russ. I am flattered by your comments. Granted I have never put an LS into a Jeep but I've done enough engine swaps into race cars, street rods and muscle cars to kind of have an idea of what things to expect or plan ahead for, although there are always surprises but it seems like...
