New guy with and interesting find (Overlander Build)

Sorry it took this long, I had to get the Jaguar I was working on close to completion....but I am excited to work on this.
 
I'll resume my job now..... Are you done yet? :angry: What is the hold up? :shrug: LOL ... Now I can sleep lake a baby tonight. ;) Thanks for the update Brian. :wave:
 
One of my favorite threads here.. glad to see it bumped.

sixshooter, would you mind a visitor to see this rig when it gets completed? I'd love a first hand look at a swap like this..

Think 28-30 MPG is a possibility?
 
A visitor is always welcome. Feel free to stop some night while I am working on it too. I have gotten mixed comments on the MPG. Some guys I talk to swear they get 30 with their YJs, some say 19-20. I have no idea, though I would lean towards somewhere in between.
 
19-20 would be spectacular and anything more is just plain silly IMHO.

I'm so :drool: and :bow: and :popcorn: that I can't stand it.

Excellent. Was telling my son about this yesterday, he'd like to come with me. He's wanting a world cab for his build and would like to see it, i'm more interested in the diesel conversion.

PM me a contact number when you get a chance. I'll give you a call.
 
I can't believe I just invested 30 minutes drooling over this thread. The holy grail indeed!
 
We are edging ever closer to completion of my build. Brian is waiting on the rest of the parts to show up. So here are some teaser shots of the detailed motor mocked in place and the new exhause manifold from Steed Speed. Enjoy!

This little gem will replace the more industrial manifold that came on the motor.

:drool:

I was just thinking about this thread the other day and was going to ask about an update! I love this thing!
 
Sadly I am in the same boat as you guys. Brian sends me the pictures as he gets time to take them. I am hoping we get the remaining parts in soon and we can wrap up this build in the coming year.
