CUMMINS R2.8 POWER FOR VW 4X4 VAN?
Four Wheeler|October 2021
I’m a big fan and love watching your show. I have an interesting vehicle that you may be interested to learn more about. I believe it’s one of the better platforms to build an adventure vehicle. It’s an ’88 Volkswagen LT 4x4 with a 2.4L turbodiesel engine and Hurth axles with front and rear locking differentials. Earlier models used Dana 60s, and much of the platform is very similar to older American trucks.

CUMMINS R2.8 POWER FOR VW 4X4 VAN?

I was planning to do an engine swap to a 2.5L TDI five-cylinder from an Audi A6. I will be using adapters for installing 37-inch HMMWV tires to make a great off-road/all-terrain rig/camper.

I’ve been curious about Cummins and the company’s crate R2.8 engine, which I believe would fit nicely inside the engine bay. Would love to hear back from you.

Thanks for the compliment. We are going to assume that you are talking about Four Wheeler TV with our pal Ian Johnson. We’d also like to give a shout-out to our pals Fred Williams and Dave Chapelle at Dirt Every Day for what they do. They are all great guys, and between the three there isn’t much they can’t handle in the off-road realm, including a metric ton of irreverent and entertaining off-road tomfoolery.

JEEP OR BLAZER BUILDING

JEEP OR BLAZER BUILDING

I was hoping to pick your brain as to a couple of different builds. I have a '19 Jeep Wrangler JL and a '74 Chevy Blazer. I'm a little baffled as to what to focus on. The '74 full convertible Blazer is my dream vehicle. She's been a long build and now I am thinking of focusing my energy on my wife's '19 Jeep JL. I recently joined a Jeep club and have been going off-road with a few guys. I'm shopping around for lift kits. Would you suggest that my time be spent and focused on the Blazer or enjoy the Jeep? I really can't do both.
