they still have to convert the front end to 8-lugs as well, and i believe once they get Moby running it will need to go to a Smog referee to get new badging to state the new motor and smog BS is all legit.
It's Time to SUPERSIZE Moby - MoTech 6.2L LS Jeep Motor Swap
- Thread starter CarsonCindy
- Start date
-convert the front axle to 8-lug
-install new wheels and tires
-convert the driveshafts
-reinstall the EVO sliders
-install the exhaust (hopefully on monday)
-TEST DRIVE!! :wings:
Based on what we have now seen in person on RESQ1 on the JKX and on Moochie's Jeep, we will for sure have overheating issues with the kit as is.... but Mel has some pretty cool ideas on how to solve them. :yup: We will take Moby out for a few tests to confirm the issue, then take it back in to Off Road Evolution for some EVO upgrades.
yup.
and yup. :yup:

Big ass trans cooler and big ass radiator
Just to compare...
Top is a stock JK radiator
Middle is EVO1's trans cooler
Bottom is EVO1's radiator
Stock JK radiator vs. EVO1 radiator

Those pics show what EVO1 is using, not what we will be using in Moby, although it will probably be something similar.
No, all that will not fit in the stock location. EVO1 had some major modifications done in order to fit that huge radiator in:
And the trans cooler is mounted in back:
Mel has some different ideas for Moby.

So I saw the photo on ORE's Facebook page of Moby wearing his new minimalist track shoes Are you needing some time to adjust to the new look of more sidewall on your main squeeze? What about the rings, staying raw or going to powder coat? Moby is looking great as always, no matter the rim size :rock:

Lol - You mean this pic?
I haven't actually seen it in person yet, but I like what I see in the pic. :yup: Staying raw with the rings this time.

That would be the pic! You guys have just a little bit of rake in that photo
I can't wait to see the final product roll out of the shop!

Nothing a little adjustment to the coil overs can't fix
We can't wait either. :crazyeyes:

Is it an illusion or is the rear rim smaller than the front? If not, what is the purpose?
