Cummins Turbo Diesel swapped 2012 JKU build

[Thegreenmachine12]

And so it begins...

 

[Thegreenmachine12]

So we pulled out the stock Rubicon switch panel and my buddy made this one for the ARB switches that will go in that spot. It's pretty sweet

 

[Brute]

Sweet! Which one of your Jeeps are you brining to Moab? Can't wait to meet you!

Wheeling the Brute this time...hopefully next year the JK6...

Just curious how much boost you run?

Just curious how much boost you run?

25-28 psi usually. Can run up to about 33-35 at full throttle.

You said earlier in this thread they did the body lift to claer the engine swap. Is that something a hood mod could bypass or was it clearance down by the bellhousing area? Been looking into one of these swaps for a while and just trying to get some ideas.

It has to be something with the engine, they use the factory trans in that swap.

Wow that's a lot of boost! All on the stock block or did you build it out a little before dropping it in? Either way I'm sure it feels good with the peddle down!

Diesel motors commonly run higher boost. Boost in the 30s is normal

Finally got the Dynatracs in. Also got the spare on, and wired up the lockers. Also changed the transfer case fluid while we were at it. Hopefully i'll see y'all in Moab next month!

Amazing build, I could only dream of having a diesel in mine! I see that you have the Bestop rear bumper and tire carrier, I have the same one and was wondering if you have problems with it rattling? I have never been able to get mine to stop and I only have a 35" tire on it. Any feedback would be awesome, Thanks!

30 mpg?! I could use that [emoji41]
Badass build so far!

ROFL I was thinking the EXACT same thing Sheesh!!!!

Yeah that little joint in the middle that holds the tire carrier on to the tailgate needs to be tightened they like to come loose and it will rattle the whole tire carrier

That is one good looking beast!!

 

[Deathmask]

Man I would do that swap in a heartbeat if I didn't have to worry about Houston's vehicle emissions testing

 

[Brute]

That's a good looking ride...I'll buy you a cold one in Moab EJS...a hui hou!

 

[mo0s3]

What did that swap cost you ?
