I understand it takes hours to put together enough video for 10 minutes but, I'm sure I speak for allot of other fans, you are the best at what you do and 10 minutes is never enough to satisfy our fix..LOL. Keep up the great work and channel. Have you ever thought of having a drawing for a chance for a lucky viewer to be able to come out and work with you on a project for a day or 2 ?

​@@BigTireGarage Nissan teased us with this R2.8 in their Frontier and didn't deliver. I was so mad at them. Lol

Wow! Absolutely insane to see what your doing with this rig. I’m amazed. I feel like you should be building cars for big companies to make it more convenient for everybody.

Pretty cool watching your show now, after watching and rewatching all the episodes on spike. Had to be about 15 years ago or something.

Excited. Love this series as well.

Can't wait, loving this series!

Love watching the build so far. If only we had cool old rigs like the jeep wagon in australia. Love the idea of old school body on newish chassis. Saw the beetle body in the background and thought that would look good on a shorty jk chassis.

I don't know why I haven't seen you since jessi. But I'm glad you are still insipring this industry. Good to see you, I'm glad I tripped over your channel

Watching this has me wanting to put an r2.8 in my jt gladiator in the future.

Definitely hope the aftermarket has a solve for plastic oil pan as had a plastic valve cover on my old CJ and dammed if it didn't crack during an overnight Christmas Tree trip with the temp at 8f and ended up using the giant USFS sticky tag to hold the not setting epoxy and 4 parts together for the ride of the mountain.

So I have a 2.8 in my tj with 4.88 manual on 35s I love it but I do feel like it runs out of air are there any new turbos for them yet

If you was going to run a automatic behind the r2.8 what size stall converter would you run

I moved to Philippines and bought a used 2016 Suzuki Jimny and didn’t want the older VW 1.9 TDI that everyone does but this unfortunately looks too big. Might look at the Suzuki Vitara H25a V6 as I’ve seen in Australia

I'm considering using the R2.8 In my '98 Grand Cherokee Limited in the immediate future. Strictly a fuel economy move in light of price increases. I like the idea of doubling fuel economy and having a motor that will out live me. Also considering a interim LNG/ Propane. Any thoughts on these two different approaches would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I watched your video with Nate last night. Watched the Cummins presentation. Thank you in advance for your informative videos.

Awesome build Ian. I just purchased a R2.8 for my 97 TJ . I would like to keep my A/C by using the mid mount bracket, but Brittany at Cummins repower said the power steering pump would then interfere with the frame. Is the frame you used wider than a TJ frame?
