Hello everyone. I know this is my first post but I have gathered a lot if information from other on this forum so I thought I would try and give some back. In early June a Brusier LX3 6.6L motor will be going in to Odin ( @OdinsChronicles ). The motor specs out 550hp and 625 ft/tq. My plan is to document and review the process for anyone who wants to follow along. Odin currently runs a Supercharger on the 3.6L. It has done a good but just doesn't have the power needed to push the weight of a fully loaded over-lander rig and trailer. With 47 gallons of fuel on board, all my gear and the X1N trailer things weigh in at 11,500 pounds. I know that's a lot of weight but with one ton axels and other suspensions mods it is built to handle it. I choose Bruiser because I've been a GM motor fan for a long time. I've been assured they have worked out the bugs and it is a plug and play install. All gauges, cruise control, and tap shift will continue to work as they currently do. Below is what is included with the install kit. I will get into more details I we get closer to the install.
  • 6.6L LX3 Engine
  • 8HP75 8-Speed Transmission w/Torque Converter
  • Bellhousing, Torque Converter and Transfer Case Adapters
  • Cast Iron LX3 Manifolds
  • Exhaust Y Pipe with Cats
  • Bolt In Engine Mounts
  • LX3 Engine Harness for JT
  • GPEC (Flashed)
  • JT Tazer

Yes I recognize your name from instagram. The motor is scheduled to show up by the end of May and the install starts as soon as it gets here. Zeus Off Road in Burnsville MN is going to do the install and they will be posting some stuff as well.

Great looking rig. I used them back in 2009 when they were Jeff's Jeep Yard. You have to take the rig all the way to FL to get it worked on?
I had Jeff do some work for me back on 2010 on a CJ7 I had then. Does he still own it? I had mixed feelings.

I don't know if he still owns it or not, but he's in their videos. He's riding with the customer at the end of the video below. He had a pretty nice aluminum Scrambler back in the day. This was my Jeep next to his back at an event in 2009.
