Poor quality of work from Bruiser Conversions continue to shows its ugly head
Well the problems keep coming with the work that Bruiser did on my Jeep. Tranny had to be dropped back in September to be fixed again, less than 2000 miles on it. Turns out the shifter rail for 5th and reverse was improperly installed and the tranny would kick out of 5th gear whenever I would let go of the accelerator. Bruiser wanted me to send the Jeep to them to have it fixed again but I was like NO!!! I told them they had their chance to fix the tranny and were not going to touch it. I had a local shop here in Charleston, SC, Griffin Transmission fix it right. They fixed it at a 800 dollar price tag. Working with a lawyer to file a lawsuit against Bruiser. As of lately the recent problem has been a belt tensioner failed and that required replacement of that and the belt. Now I am wondering how much more will break. Thank you Bruiser for the horrible first time quality job.

I use Trail Jeeps for most of my purchases, and wouldn't hesitate to have them swap my engine out. Great company to work with

First of all a JEEP is not a CAR and you can get a sport if you plan on going beyond a rubicon,
If you're not living your dead already!
The problems still continue with Bruiser Conversions
I really do not know where to start but I am to the point where I am about to lose my mind in how poor of a job Bruiser did on my Jeep. The current problem I have is the large amount of blow by on the diesel engine. Took it to a certified mechanic to get their certified opinion on the blow by. They are telling me that the blow by is excessive and the piston rings need to be changed out. Bruiser put an engine in my Jeep that was on its way out the door, WTF. Serious if I were to do that kind of stuff in my line of work, I would have killed someone. First time quality work was not their objective and I take first time quality work to heart especially being a nuclear propulsion plant operator for almost 17 years now. To anyone that plans to get their work done at bruiser conversions, buyer beware. They have no quality assurance in their workmanship and Jeff Garland, the owner, essentially broke a promise. His promise to me was that the work that was to be done on my vehicle would be top notch and his name and reputation is on the line. Well Jeff Garland you broke that promise and you soured your reputation with me. Now I have to waste the limited time before deploying to get my engine rebuilt. All they did was slap a coat of paint on the block and sent it on its way WITHOUT doing a full detailed inspection, they failed at their job. They thought they could get away with doing half ass work, well sorry, they did not realize they were dealing with a person who has been trained to catch things when they are wrong or half assed put together. Thank you for your time. Jeff Garland, do have the integrity to acknowledge that your guys screwed up by doing a poor job the first time?

Alex is the smart one, i'm the dumb one I went back. But this CJ they built him keeps having problems and they won't even respond to him!!!
I have not gone back, for the transmission I got that done by a local shop here in Charleston, SC. All I have to say is that Griffin Transmission in North Charleston did a kick ass job on fixing a poorly put together tranny.
