That's weird! It's not like that in my program. I would imagine that's a YouTube glitch

Just wanted to make sure you were aware in case you wanted to re-upload it.

So originally we just had the factory Jeeps radiator resealed, we figured it could cool the old 5.9 so the LS wouldn't have issues. It honestly cooled just fine but kept leaking. So I eventually caved and bought a factory replacement 3 core aluminum radiator.

We bought it online from Radiator express for 350.00 shipped. So far it's been great.

We have been out near Dove Springs for the past week and having fun with the Jeep!

Dang it's been a while since I've updated this thread! Time flies when you are having a good time. Earlier this summer @the_fablab_ flew out to meet us and we hit the Oregon Dunes.

The entrance in was an adventure. We did Siltcoos sand camping. Luckily we had the Jeep and @the_fablab_

Mike drove the jeep a lot of the trip, which seemed right considering he built it.

Finally made it to camp.

Heres a video of the whole weekend, more photos to come!

So cool!

So cool!

It was seriously a great time especially getting our friends out there.

The dunes are pretty wild, with lakes, forests, and ocean. We had to be careful not to go over a razor into a lake haha

We put the kids in the Ram, which is built as well and does our daily towing. The adults took turns beating on the jeep.

We definitely used the Jeep! It's a fine line considering it's our DD and Prerunner that we drive around the country. But I felt like it was ok to beat on it considering @the_fablab_ was there to make repairs haha

Key notes on having fun beating on your prerunner. Bring your fabricator with you haha

Seriously!

If you have never been to the Oregon dunes it's definitely worth the trip.

Not truck related but it was fun celebrating the dude's first bday with great friends.

Pretty rad getting @the_fablab_ behind the wheel. Not only did he build this badass truck, he drove it hard. Full circle and I'm super happy to call him my best friend!

Its always something and it seems to be a little more difficult to maintain while living on the road fulltime. Noticed a loud hissing, and lack of power in the brakes.




It wasn't a terrible job, but it's never fun laying under the dash for an extended period of time. Since we have been on the road I've replaced a proportioning valve, brake line, water pump, tensioner pully, and booster. Not bad, ill eventually have the 35-year-old parts all replaced lol.

Looks good with really minor repairs needed in the grand scheme of things. Just gotta fix all the old jeep parts as they fail.

Jelly dude. Truck is a solid platform and will only get better with time!

Seriously I love this thing and am planning on doing the same thing to my Sequoia minus the LS swap because its already got a solid motor and trans. Also keeping it linked out back with cantilever coilovers too. Such a clean setup without needing a cage and losing the creature comforts of stock interior minus storage things you want to add

Yeah it's not that bad honestly, seems to be slowing down as I replace the 35 year old parts
