thanks for the positive comments guys!

i like it so much because i can haul around all of my buddies (ladies sometimes..) and drive in the snow and rain without worry. and the drag racing thing, too

i hope to meet a couple of you guys at the dyno day comin up.

done an intake gasket on it yet? watch your oil consumption. when it starts using a quart or two between changes, and its not leaking, check your fuel trims. the valley pan on them will suck in, causing a slight vac. leak to the crankcase having an oil consumption issue.


and i assume you have rebuilt the diffs? carrier bearings are eaten like candy on them (moronic engineers at jeep didnt listen to Dana, and set the preload too tight....go figure)


nice Heep. always nice to drop that bitch in low range and smoke someone to 30mph
