My Adams driveshafts arrived and went in super easy. Nothing under the Jeep has been set to torque specifications in the event I need to remove parts for adjustments. The last thing I will do is torque and paint, touching every bolt and nut on the Jeep to ensure torque is correct, and then paint […]

LT Swap – The Tedious Tasks
All of the big items for the swap are complete except for driveshafts and exhaust. Driveshafts will go in Sunday, and exhaust will have to wait until I can get under the Jeep with my welder here. The 7075 aluminum for the steering parts is on back order, so alignment and hydraulics will have to […]

Atlas 2 Speed Is Installed
Spent a day finishing the cable setup and fine tuning the Atlas 2 speed transfer case drive line alignment. Such an amazing piece of machined art, I almost hate to put it under my Jeep! It took a few reads to get the feel for the shift lever install. The instructions could use some fine […]

More Axle Work – Really Close
Bumpstop saga continued… I was able to resolve the bump stop issue on the front. Since I broke a tap in the spring perch I just clocked the bump stops 90 degrees in the same location and tapped new holes. After the front bumps were in and the axle reassembled, I moved to the back […]

Axle Install – Making Progress
Dove into the install on Tuesday and made good progress. I was able to hang the front on the control arms in about 30 minutes and then moved around to the back. When I got to the back it seemed like everything that could go wrong did. After several slow ups and having to make […]

Switch-Pros SP-9100 – Part 1
While tearing apart the Jeep to do the Gen V swap, I noticed I did a really poor job of previous electrical planning in the Jeep. During the process of installing the interior harness for the swap, I pulled miles of confusing, poorly implemented, accessory wires out from under the dash. During the excavation process, […]

EVO Rubicon Sway Bar Air Actuator
I have been frustrated with the Rubicon electronic sway bar disconnect since I got my Jeep. The disconnect is unpredictable, and not convenient because it can change settings and you may not realize it. The Rubicon disconnect is controlled by the Jeep TIPM, which has rules of engagement for the sway bar. With my frustration, […]

LT Swap – Update – Axle Decision
I have been tossing around the pros and cons of running my current axles after the swap. Pro, they are already in the Jeep. Cons, money, time, and grenading a perfectly good axle, etc. The cons list is longer, but the main point would be the last item mentioned. If I choose to run the […]

LT Swap – Update – Power Steering
I spent a ton of time searching and comparing different power steering brackets and looking at ideas for the LT platform. Newer cars with the Chevy LT engine have electric steering. This is great if you are putting the engine back into a Chevy, but we are making a Jevy, and this Jevy needs a […]
