its been several months since last worked on this project, lately ive been working on the wiring part of this build. Trying to wire both PCMs together and the two harness's together so they share the same original fuse box for the most part.
Hopefully firing it up here shortly
heres the first fire up of the jeep
fuel system is the 2000 jeep wrangler fuel pump, -8 braided fuel line to 2008 returnless fuel rails with 08 injectors. Tune is setup to run at 43.5 base fuel pressure
latest update, I finally got jeep to point I could take it for a maiden voyage. It still needs bumpers and flares and some other little things but today I logged roughly 5 miles on it without any issues. I took a few pics of it but there was a lot of over cast so cant really tell how much this color pops in the light
So ive lately been driving this jeep and so far everything seems to be doing good so far. The AX5 is shifting great and jeep is fun to drive. The 53 doesn't require you much throttle to go anywhere.
the front bumper showed up so I tossed that on, the rear should be here this week
well the rear bumper showed up, I ended up picking up the matching rear bumper that goes along with the front. Both bumpers are coated in bedliner
here are the completed appearance pics of the jeep. Its came a long ways from what it looked like last yr.
recently we went ahead and added some side armor and some 55w driving lights
small updated, brought this project out to shake some of the cob webs out of it and tossed it on the rollers

This has been a very fun project that I was able to build with my wife, Its been on the road for over 2 yrs now. Some have wondered where did my silverado go back in 2013 and I sold the turbo kit and a few other parts off it to help fund this project. I was an apprentice back then so I wasnt making full rate so I needed to come up with the funds anyway I could.
We've taken this jeep to 4WD parts jamboree in Ohio this past fall
Ive even used this jeep to pull out my enclosed from its parking spot on side of house
I lowered the Trailer's jack and loaded up cocaine in it
Saw it down at Ryan's right after he sprayed it, the color looked pretty good!

If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump
I do have a 6265 left over from my old twin combo days I was thinking of tossing on for 5-7 psi Hot air setupOriginally Posted by rrjjpp74
Might sound dumb but I LOVE the intake shroud still on that engine! Sounds awesome too
Thanks, I try to keep as clean and stock appearing as possible on builds I do, this motor originally had the turtle shell intake cover but chose the newer intake with this cover for the cleaner and modern look
That does sound dumb.
Whats the mpg? Johns afraid to ask.
