This video examines the long-term experience, specifically after two years and over 50,000 miles, of a diesel engine swap into a vehicle. The creator directly addresses whether the swap was "worth it" and if they would recommend it, acknowledging the complexity of the question and that individual results may vary. The video aims to provide a personal perspective to help viewers considering a similar diesel conversion. The creator also promotes their company, TA Targets, offering a discount code for steel target systems.

This video details the intercooler setup for a diesel Jeep Cherokee XJ conversion. The creator emphasizes that it's not a strict 'how-to' guide but rather a demonstration of their personal mounting process. They highlight the approximate size of the intercooler (28"W x 6" deep x 3" wide) and the use of 2.5" piping, noting the snug fit. The video encourages viewers to research intercooler options and provides a link to an OM617 adapter kit.

This video details a Jeep Cherokee diesel engine swap, specifically replacing the original engine with a Mercedes-Benz OM617 diesel and adapting it to an AX15 transmission. The creator experienced significant issues with a previous adapter kit and found success with the new "Doomsday Diesel OM617 to AX15 Adapter Kit." The video highlights the benefits of this kit, including improved shifting and clutch performance, and shares the creator's positive real-world experience after logging approximately 8,000 miles. The creator emphasizes this is not a paid advertisement but an honest review of a product they purchased, and also promotes their new Jeep-focused Instagram page.

This Jeep Cherokee XJ conversion features a Mercedes OM617 turbo diesel engine swap, chosen for its similar size to the stock 4.0L and diesel efficiency. The build details significant mechanical challenges, including engine failures and custom fabrication for drivetrain, cooling, and auxiliary systems. Despite an estimated cost of $6,000-$7,000, the project successfully retains factory functions and achieves 24-27 MPG.

This is a teaser video for a Jeep Cherokee OM617 Turbo Diesel engine swap. The creator expresses dissatisfaction with the factory six-cylinder engine and details the decision to swap in a 1981 Mercedes OM617 turbo diesel. The video serves as an introduction to an ongoing project, with the creator apologizing for delays and promising more content to come. They also provide links and contact information for their social media, a cerakote business, and encourage support for their small businesses and affiliated brands like Tatargets, Dangerous But Good, and Shady Rays. The creator emphasizes interaction via Instagram and asks viewers to subscribe and comment.

This video announces the retirement of Camaros, specifically mentioning the phasing out of LT1 engines, and the transition to LS1 and LS2 engines. This indicates a shift in vehicle platform or powertrain focus within a collection or project.

This video compares the terminal performance of five common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) by shooting watermelons. The test demonstrates a significant increase in destructive power from .22LR up to .45 ACP, with the larger calibers causing more explosive expansion and fragmentation. Specific hollow-point ammunition from Speer, Aguila, and Underwood was used, highlighting the importance of bullet construction for terminal ballistics.

Buckeye Ballistics conducted a comparative test of common pistol calibers (.22LR, .380 ACP, 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP) against concrete blocks. The host, demonstrating significant firearm and ballistics knowledge, emphasized extreme safety precautions due to ricochet risks. The test revealed that while larger calibers showed more damage, none could fully penetrate the concrete block's second wall, suggesting limitations for self-defense scenarios against hardened barriers.

This Taurus TX22 review details its performance with various .22 LR ammunition. While initially reliable with CCI Mini-Mags and cycling standard velocity rounds well, it encountered malfunctions with sub-sonic and high-velocity loads. A catastrophic failure occurred due to a squib load followed by a second shot, resulting in a bulged barrel and damaged magazine.

This video compares the terminal ballistics of .22LR, .22WMR, and .17HMR rimfire cartridges using cantaloupes as targets. The .22LR showed a clean pass-through with minor damage, the .22WMR caused an explosive front-face disintegration, and the .17HMR, despite its speed, disintegrated internally with no exit. The test highlights how different rimfire rounds perform on soft tissue simulants.
