where do i get a spare key , who do i approach , thnx for the video

Why didn't you just use a factory fuel pump and save yourself all that fussing ?

I have a 2011 2 door jk. Planning on tdi swapping it lowering it. As well as swapping in an np242 or some other full time awd or 4wd transfer case. This one is my around town delivery rig and I want it lean, agile, and efficient.

Video was worthless! Didn't show any screws or bolts and where anything goes. Just shows soft top removed, and had top installed. No instructional value at all! You guys really didn't do anyone any good! Like watching a cake being made, but no information on ingredients or what cake your making! Totally worthless video

Time for elbow grease

The petrol smart for two has a 35 litre....9.24 usa gallon tank....... diesel can't be that small.

Do you have a part number for that coolant aluminum elbow?

Thank you for the video! That was honestly some good info. Glad to see that it's running well! Is it now your daily or not quite yet?

Wow seriously awesome build mate!

Dumb questions, but you still have the oil cooler connected, right? And just so you're aware, the engine runs happiest between 200-210. Both mine are running around 203-205 and I have a temp in the same location as you.

Great hlp buds thankyou

How did you get the back so she piece off mine zipper is stuck also that’s why I bought a new top but I’m really intimidated doing the job

Sounds factory

Awesome video! This has definitely fueled my idea on wanting to tdi swap my Ford Ranger. I have been kicking around the idea just to have better torque and fuel mileage. Would you know roughly what stall rate the stock converter was? Im trying to keep as much of the original drivetrain as possible, and there is a kit by tdi conversion that will allow me to bolt right to my 5r55e transmission. Im sure my stock converter stall rate might be too high. Any comments are much appreciated.

My friend and i work on 7 of em...they can be quite problematic. Yes there is a clutch its shifted by the ECM. They have issues with the intercoolers causing low boost pressure and dirtys the EGR valves.. Huge loss of power...we just replaced a few turbos. And cleaned EGRS....MADE DRAMATIC DIFFERENCES!

What is the name of this hard top, I can't find any information on them.

Thank you!

Where do i get this adapter

I have a TJ, but this is one of the coolest TJs I’ve ever seen. Your skillset is impressive man… if you come to Colorado, let’s wheel!

Have you ever run without the controller im interested how it would run

Did u fabricate motor mounts? What about the ecu? Does someone sell kubota conversion kits?

Some cooling help, maybe. Comparing my '83 Toyota FJ60 LC with Cummins 3.9 4BT to my '07 Jeep Wrangler JKU also with the 4BT, the JKU tends to run much hotter. Why? The Jeep has a much tighter engine compartment with a water to air intercooler radiator out front, a mostly in-the-bumper winch and a bull bar with a light bar. The Toyota, with a huge engine compartment, no intercooler, no light bar on the bull bar doesn't need the electric fan connected. Yes, it runs cool with NO fan at all. Tried the no fan mode with my Jeep and rapidly overheated climbing into town on the highway (65 mph). Apparently, the Jeep body design doesn't flow the air that the Toyota can. Is it possible that the tanks on your intercooler and the CFM of your fan are failing to flow enough air to maintain normal temps? Could too much air be bypassing your radiator due to missing factory plastic inserts? An old engine swapping book said you can have a 6 foot by 4 foot radiator and still overheat if you don't have enough airflow. Yes, it will take a long time to overheat, but then you have a large volume of hot coolant.

Amazing video but i still cant get past how you tightened the lug nuts, you monster lol

wft is a twiflouahthee? Oh, it's two zero three. kk, I'm caught up now. I think. Still could be a twin flow three, I have no idea. Nope, I'm still wrong, V two four zero three.

I had one of these. 1. The tranny is a mess. It shifts really, really slow. Like someone who is learning to drive standard. If they had just popped a regular 4 or 5 speed manual in them it would have been a much more drivable car. as it stands making left hand turns was kind of an adventure. 2. Computer issues. The auto/manual transmission is computer controlled and prone to failure. The tranny itself seems solid enough but it was prone to electrical issues. 3. Impossible to work on. Unless you've got little elf hands. Changing the serpentine belt requires taking off the rear tire and rear fender. If you need to change a headlight you have to take the whole front of the car off. Which is easier than you'd think, it's like 15 bolts. Still. I had an alternator go on mine. I got really lucky, in all of north america there was one in Toronto. We fed-ex'ed it in. Otherwise you were getting one off a slow boat from germany. A couple of the bolts on the old one were rusted on and it took a very experienced mechanic 2 hours to pull the old alternator off. There's just no room to work. 4. It hates the cold. With new glow plugs it would start down to about... -15C without being plugged in. After 1.5 years of use it wouldn't start in -8 weather. It doesn't come with a block heater, however you can go to Canadian Tire and buy one of those heaters that just sticks onto the block. You'll need it. Once you get it started it will never build up heat. I think it only takes 8 litres of coolant, you wouldn't think that would be an issue but yeah, it will never heat up so you'll never get heat in the cabin. Benz knew this and equipped it with an electric heater. The electric heater is as prone to failure as the AC. In the winter I had a windshield scraper handy to be able to see. 5. Learn to change your own oil. You can't take it to a normal oil change place because it won't fit over the rack, more than that the oil doesn't drain from the bottom. I mean you can take the oil filter off, run the car until it's all gone but I wouldn't suggest that. You're supposed to suck the oil out from the top. I had a pump that attached to a drill, it worked well enough I suppose. It took 10+ minutes to suck all the oil out though. FYI Benz charges $500 for an oil change and it doesn't matter what the car is, they know how to do it and have all the stuff but yeah... $500. So yes, learn to change your own oil. 6. Door handles. sometimes the doors won't close. They did a recall on this. I took it into Benz and they did the recall work. It still wasn't great afterwards though. 7. Power. You'll loose 30 percent of your power in the cold. Your fuel milage will go down to about 38mpg or so in the winter. you can realistically get 60 when it's warm out. Also, as with all engines as it ages it loses power. It only has 38HP to start with however. I got mine with 79k on it. When I got rid of it I had 200k on it and it was significantly slower. I couldn't in most cases get it up to the 110km speed limit on the highway when i got rid of it. Asides from all that, if it had a manual 5 speed, doorhandles that worked, they put some kind of webasto in it stock and it was easier to change the headlights (the headlights only went out in the winter of course). I wouldn't be that down on it. It was an interesting concept. The transmission was the worst part of it.

Great outcome Grant!

Glad to see you were able to get this posted. The black box of the tranny is finally gone with the TC change, just got to get the temps where they need to be. Great video!!

sooo... what do you think the difference might be on the two torque converters (maybe measured as Stall Speed and Lock-up).

Could you feel the vibration in your shifter ?

Your EGT is much higher than 650F. My CJ is 700-900F with the Holset and the XJ is a little more with the GTD and the AW4. This is with the CJ in 4th on the AX15 @ 55 and the XJ in 3rd @ 55. If you're having cooling issues with the speeds you're running in the video, hook up a coolant pressure gauge and let me know what you're seeing. Now that I replaced the headgasket in the CJ, I don't get higher than 204 to 206F. XJ is about the same.

Glad to see this new video! About 15 minutes before the video dropped, I had checked your channel to see if maybe I missed an upload. Then BOOM! There it was. Happy to have you back! Great info as always.

If this type of Smart Fortwo CDI had a Manual version for setting, maybe it's gonna be very fun! I think this Fortwo has about 0.8L engine and 1st gen but I'm still not sure what the type of catalog name....

bout to go pickup my 08 commander,, just had a new 5.7 put in it... i liked the commander enough to give it a second life...... u didnt show the motor? thats why i clicked.

Any new updates?!?! Long time, no see :[

Wow I was quite impressed that you 6’5” fits into it quite easily. Might have to cut a hole in the front fire wall to stretch out your legs though 🤣 And a who’d think it is a turbo ( attractive word ) diesel SmartCar. I’ve always thought they were electric cars 🚙 as we seem to match tiny and smart with electricity! I’m 6’4” and always loved the idea of people seeing a tall guy getting out of a tiny car like a Fiat, mini etc obviously now a SmartCar. My journey is work each day the road speeds are all 49.7mph ( 80kph ) Australian roads. I currently drive my 4x4 and it costs me $100 Aus per week which is crazy expensive. I might have to fit a big LED Lightbar to see any kangaroos 🦘 🦘 that might be hopping across the road at any moment. The kangaroos would be as big as the car I’m sure 😂😂😂😂

I have a 1959 willys FC 150 and a Kubota V2003 out of a tool cat. i actually have the whole tool cat. The wheelbase is extremely short 90 inches It has a Ford 9"rear end and I am planning a Dana 44 solid axle front end. I am trying to figure out what transmission and transfer case to put in this creature. Can you help?

Can I do the same thing using Intellitronix for tj but the flat one 1 piece not like yours 6 different pieces. Thanks

Hey mate with the auto meter direct fit dash I won’t have to create a plate like you? The thing you did with the 6 holes, I can just put the gauge directly inside? If yes why you did it this way please :) thanks

Another great example of, “buyer beware”. If you had researched this engine you would not have bought it. The 4.7 V8 is the reliable engine.

I just upgraded from MACH3 to FireControl with THC, now I think I will go for the XL kit as well.

No jack stands dangerous

Where did you get that chain. I’ve never seen a chain that tight even with new ones.

I just bought some and they didn’t give me any hardware

As far as the temp sensor you swiped at about 3/4 part of the vid, only the older aw4 trans have the threaded hole and cap off bolt, later they stopped tapping the hole entirely but the block mold still has the same spot if you want to drill one in. I don't think jeep ever used the temp switch spot though.

A340H and A340F.....I would like to understand which has the higher converter stall rating. Also which is the better torque converter over all?

Why go through the fire wall?

What is the size wrench needed for the jam nuts?

I purchased my 07 Jeep Commander V8, 5.7 L Automatic HEMI brand new and 16 years, 159,469 Miles later I still have it ... The only problem I have is water 💧 coming through the sunroof and not draining properly, and it gets my floors wet... I think that's a poor design... other than that, I'm very happy with my Jeep and hope to reach the 300,000 mark... God bless you all. 🙏 ✝️

Diesel engines require a much lower stall torque converter. I'm looking at doing a similar swap, but I can't seem to find a 6r80 TC with that low of a stall. Where did you find yours?

Thanks for the video. It seems it is UV resistant. The package doesnt reference UV resistance.
