Didnt do anything to it today, but been thinking alot about it! Thinking of pulling the motor out and starting my stroker build on it. If I do that I will put my spare motor in it so it is still functional. hmmmmm what to do.

I took it away from my 16 year old son who has been driving it. He got a speeding ticket in it last night. 75 in a 55 AFTER i told him NOT to EVER drive it over 60 because it has a little bit of death wobble at 62. So pissed right now.

Because i have low compression in cylinder 4 and 6 on the motor in my jeep. The other motor is still good, doesnt need a rebuild yet.

I got that GD passenger side bumpstop popped back into the tube....after fighting with it for over an hour. Not very easy when going at it through the coil spring. I put a good squeeze on the tube with my monster channel locks, too. I hope that will keep it in there. This is the second wheeling trip it has come out. I may take a punch and give each of the barbs a good wack with my BFH, too. It really sucks since I put the drop brackets on if I don't have the bumpstops in place I found out my tire starts eating the fender on up travel.
