    LS swap into a 97 TJ

    Mount from Novak came in. I have it mounted to the tranny and I have the holes marked where I need to drill into the skid plate/crossmember. Drill battery died so I'm SOL until tomorrow. Sent from my PH-1 using WAYALIFE mobile app

    LS swap into a 97 TJ

    When I dropped the engine in it was cockeyed so the transmission was angled towards the driver side. Engine hoist, and a few ratchet straps later and the transmission is centered. Transmission mount is coming from Novak and I will have it mounted and tightened before I remove these straps...

    LS swap into a 97 TJ

    More wiring, more wiring, and even more wiring. I'm getting real close. I freaking love ls1swap though. His images make it so easy to go through step by step. I also got the new brake with clutch pedal assembly installed. Realized that the pushrod for the master was supposed to be in the kit I...

    LS swap into a 97 TJ

    Got the obd2 port wired up sans the information with. That will wait until the dash is mounted. Also cut the Jeep gauge cluster ends off and labeled what wire is what. Going with autometer gauges and install kit but staying away from mechanic gauges. I also got all.of my keyed ignition wires...

    Martha the TJ

    When the swap is all done the fun stuff begins. I'm repainting the Jeep a variation of Tiffany blue but I'm thinking about adding some triple stage pearl into it so it looks like a different color from different angles. Imagine this color but with some more shine to it. I'm also changing to...

    LS swap into a 97 TJ

    I'm just going to add back into the harness. Less work on the other end that way. Solenoid is back in place I just need to re run the harness wire. I'm also going to just use the Jeep EVAP canister since it has a line that runs to the vapor return line. I also cleaned up the main Jeep harness...

    So I can just use the stock ones from my Wrangler? I know it's the same front axle I just wasn't sure. That would definitely eliminate the last weak point. Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk

    We talking the front driveshafts? Those guys are CV. Nice big rubber boots on them. Is there a u joint conversion for that? Sent from my PH-1 using WAYALIFE mobile app

    Well would you look at that. A nice beautiful front driveshaft. Looks like I was worrying for nothing. Time for a nice lift I guess. Sent from my PH-1 using WAYALIFE mobile app

    How many states have you visited in your Jeep?

    Just the two for now. I hope to extend that to California, Idaho, and Nevada by the end of the summer. Sent from my PH-1 using WAYALIFE mobile app

    What was done to your rig this week?

    Did the brakes on the grand. It's so much more enjoyable driving it without the shriek of brakes. Sent from my PH-1 using WAYALIFE mobile app

    I'm doing brakes and calipers tomorrow, so everything is getting cleaned up. Can't afford a speed sensor right now and it's not affecting how it drives so I'll just wait on that and see if the cleaning and brake job fix it. Sent from my PH-1 using WAYALIFE mobile app

    I did not unplug a thing as far as I know. It did surprise me as well but that ABS light is plenty bright in the dash. I'm doing brakes tomorrow so I'll double check them to see if anything got tweaked or unplugged. Sent from my PH-1 using WAYALIFE mobile app

    Also I trimmed the front bumper and got rid of the ugly plastic that hangs down. I will need to relocate the evap canister now though. Before: After: . Not my finest work but I'm happy with it. I just used a heat gun and a utility knife and it cut through like butter. Sent from my PH-1 using...

    I was sitting doing wiring on the TJ and got fed up so for the time being I started to swap the budget boost from my TJ onto the ZJ. all I am doing for now is the spacers and maybe my wheels and tires. I just did the front for the night since I have to get to work in the morning. My abs light...

    Fun stuff I went under there and realized it was the good front driveshaft. Of course it's CV at the axles because of the all time 4wd but the driveshaft itself is ujoint at both ends. Sent from my PH-1 using WAYALIFE mobile app
