Agreed, now put a power rack and a bench in the shop

That is a sweet ride! I have an old bronco I wish ford had a LS line of engines a LS3 would be perfect in an old bronco but that jeep is sweet! Great episode! Nothing more awesome than being in the shop working on your project while it’s storming outside!

Glad to see the Wagoneer finished! Side note: glad you embraced a more appropriate hair cut. 😁

This was a cool project... but seriously Mr. Tolman, we want to see the work... We KNOW what YOU look like... and while it was nice to hear that wonderful engine... I would would have preferred to see the work... the process.... the vehicle itself, you know? Looking forward to the other projects you have in your pipeline. If it saves you any time to set up a camera to do time lapse... and then sort of walk us through what you did to it while the time lapse is playing out - maybe slow it down to tell us about anything that was tricky or difficult. Those seem to work out best in my opinion. Thanks for sharing this with us.

This project detail was at a very high level. There was some detail on building the exhaust but most here have seen exhaust builds ad infinitum. Just too many irons in the fire IMO. Running a business especially an auto shop and doing videos with its production something has to give, right? Perhaps future videos will be more in depth.

Dude, this is a mostly stock LS swap. There are 5828395957272 videos on KZread about this. LT is running a shop and trying to finish a project that took far longer than planned. We get to see his more important stuff, this would have been boring, by comparison.

OK Fine. Bring on the "more important stuff" How about finishing one project instead of bouncing around on 3 or 4. let's see we have the C-10, the ugly truck, the Frankenstein Truck and I'm sure there are 1 or 2 more in the mix. Adderall anyone! One nice thing about KZread one can "Move On".

@@Danno74Z then move the hell on. You clearly don't understand how this all works, so go start your own channel and show us all how easy it is. I have years of experience as a custom car builder and outside of things like this which are glorified bolt-ons, proper builds take time, especially when they get interrupted by mundane day-to-day shit and parts set-backs. Often times I'd spend 2-3 hours of an 8 hour shift on a long-term project and then the rest of the day cranking out busy work. If LT is getting that much time as he's also the shop owner, I would be shocked.

Dood love the new look!!! I had to embrace that like 20yrs ago!! The Waggoner is coming along…hell yeah!!

Love that jeep. Its even cooler now.

We had a 81 Grand Wagoneer with the 401 when I was growing up. They bought it used. It only had 40,000 miles, or so. Man, what a beautiful truck. I think you can legitimately say it was the original American luxury SUV. Nothing else really can’t close from the American market. You have to go to the range, rover or land cruiser to get equivalent, comfort, and quality

Oh, no no no no no, LT! You definitely need some REAL Texas BBQ. If Rudy's is impressing you, then you've for sure been greatly deprived of GOOD barbecue.

I have always liked the look of the old wagoneers and now with the LS it has plenty of power. And you are right Rudy's is a good place to eat.

Nice work! Glad to know someone else appreciates Rudy’s. It’s one of my favorites. Not the fanciest barbecue but certainly one of the most consistent. I love their smoked Turkey sandwich and their breakfast Tacos.

The wagoneer sounds great! Happy to see it on a test drive, looks like it's going to be a fun vehicle. Great work!

I wish you'd do a LS swapped Porsche 911....they're awesome cars and combine with a fantastic LS ....they're a potent combo.

I bet the owner didn't like ot sitting around the shop lol but I'm glad I got to see it a little that u put it on the channel

Rudy's is great. Had it many times in Chandler. Surprised there is a BBQ shop across the street after all these years as competition.

This is awesome-it sounds amazing. You do amazing work. It just makes me want to send you my Red Tide-inspired LS-swapped Grand Wagoneer to pull together.

Bet you are happy that jeep is done . It happens in busy shops them project ones take much longer than expected

Yeah, they're called shop cloggers. If the shop is running slow all they have to do is take on one of these projects and they will have more business than they can handle😂

I was at Sebring International raceway when you guys got all that snow last week. Our Race Engineer lives there and was telling us all about it. Great Content, Keep it up

My wife loves the Grand Wagoneer with the wood grain! If you watch any Stephen King movies they always have one in every movie!

That thing sounds good

Nice to see the Jeep is finished! It’s come a long way.

I am absolutely diggin' that original AMC color code on that engine cover. Excellent choice👌

I don't know if it was AMC, or government issue. The paint code on the firewall just comes back as "custom." It was originally an Army Corps of Engineers Jeep in Texas, and I even made a FOIA request trying to track down more info. The staff were cool, but couldn't give me any data on paint colors, so I just had a color match done on the cleanest piece I could pull out of the engine bay. I dig it, and after body work I think I'll repaint the whole truck that color.

@rebturtle well then buddy, today might be your lucky day! I happen to work for the Army Corps, and on an older (yet still operational) platform. Our records go back into the mid 1960's at my duty station. We have never been without at least one government body-carrier permanently assigned to us. I'll ask around.

That Wagoneer sounds awesome. Hopefully you can show it when the customer gets it done completely.

LT the Jeep looks amazing! Attention to details is the key to setting off a good build

Very cool Lt

LT finally excepted the baldness.. we could be twins now.

Nice sounding engine: good job. 🌏🇦🇺

If you ever want to do an LS swap on a 84 F150, that original and rust free, holler at me bud. Great work!

The is one nice ride . The only thing i would've done was add more cam ....love a choppy LS

That's super cool can't wait to see what's next

Glad to see the Jeep Wagoneer all done and nice work on it!! I did see your video on the exhaust that you built for it and it looked amazing!! Thanks LT for a great video and lookin forward to seeing what you put into the AWD S-10!

I miss Colorado Springs....Was stationed there for 4 years.

163 👍's up LT thank you for sharing 🤗

Great vehicle build. Now on to the 2nd gen cyclone xtreme!!😊

Sweet

I wish you were local. I'm at the same spot on my LS swap. Just needs the wiring/TERMINATOR X max wired up.

Miss the videos of all your fantastic fab work! And the exhaust note… it’s kinda boring. It’s got that old-car metallic noise. Would have been nice if it was a bit more routy. Not louder thou. Or maby it’s the microphone. Nice to see the new haircut! 💪🏻

If you had my vehicle in your shop I would rather for you to take your time and get it right versus slapping it together and sliding it out the door. I do not think that the owner is upset. He definitely will not be when he mashes the throttle.

Glad to see ya finally embraced the bald. Rock on

Myb1979 saburban is at Kelly's 4x4 in Alaska. He's putting in an 2003 8.1 with cam upgrade new heads with upgraded lifter. Had to use 1974 headers to work with the ms 465 transmission in it.

Come to Texas. We'll show you real BBQ. lol

I am currently doing LS 5.3 swap in c10. I would love to do a turbo at some point but idk enough about turbos to do that at this point. Please cover some detail on the upcoming vid about turbo install. Oil line location, turbo clocking and location, manifold types… things like that. Plenty of turbo vids but none (that I found) are detailed. Thanks and nice video

We need the 8-9 sec 8.1

I wish you would have done my 5.3 L33 with a Tremec TKX into an 5 lug Tacoma. The engine & trans are installed correctly but the WIRING IS A DISASTER‼ I paid over $1175 for a custom wiring harness and the installer screwed it all up. Plus the installer must have put the pickup tube O-ring in dry⁉ Because the oil pressure is anywhere between 60 to 9 lbs. I’ve had the valves rattle a few times and talk about getting your attention, boy it does when you hear that‼ It’s in another shop that the engine builder recommended. Lesson learned….

LT, could you give your honest input on that Flowmaster muffler you put on the Wagoneer? I have a 5.3 suburban that is our family/roadtrip vehicle and I want to upgrade the muffler. I don't want the dreaded interior drone issues associated with some mufflers and was hoping to hear more of your thoughts on the muffler in this video. Thank you in advance.

Wow super cool. I am doing the same thing with Jeep J-10. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE SOME PICS OF THE FRONT SUSPENTION! I would benefit from a picture. And how the engine integrated with the front axle pumpkin. Ford Dana's????

Do you know the rear end ratio? Also, did you check for full wide open throttle? The travel on the pedal governor is pretty limited on these wags and mine will only achieve about 2/3 open with the pedal to the floor. I'm going to lengthen the travel on mine towards the resting position to be able to get full wide open throttle. Like you said, there is a ton of things to check and adjust on these at the end of the project. I'll be swapping out my 3:31 rear end to a 4:10 to get better torque and make it even more drivable. Well done build and videography!

Love it, but the motor, I know it wasn’t your choice though. It’s sacrilege to put anything but a Jeep or at most a Hemi motor in it! Great work though.

Surprised nobody said anything about some random crabby old man yelling "slowdown!" At 4:27 😂

Who owns that CB7 Honda Accord that’s always in the lot or hanging out on the street???

When are you getting a Dyno?

Hey I saw a video of yours that you posted three years ago about a supercharged 1997 Chevy. do you know what kind of supercharger it was? I have the same truck as that one but I can’t find any supercharger anywhere. If you can, please get back to me I would really appreciate it.

Why the offset motor mounts............ i've seen centered and offset. So Why offset?

Bald bald bald bald MY EYES 😂 if you know, you know

Keeps gave up. 🎱

I'm mostly saddened that he thinks Rudy's is really good BBQ.

Nice "do" ... lose a bet!
