i really like the build so far! good job! i am jealous of the engine that you have built.

i have 169XXX and she still runs strong, beats my friends 01 limited with an intake and 3.55 gears behind his manual tranny pushing 235 metric road tires. i have 3.07 gearing and 33" swampers and i am nearly 2 seconds faster(0-60) than him with our shift points at 4000 rpms max.

thanks man. im yet to see what the new engines got. im kinda babyin her till she gets broke in a lil bit. and the engine i took out still ran strong at 157k, just felt like puttin a new one in . ran so good in fact that i pulled it out and sold it for $750. im just trying to learn as much as i can on my own before i start the auto tech program in the fall and figured my Jeep was the perfect guinea pig...

so finally got my rims on last friday...got a spare and a high lift too . Had to do a lil trimming on the front fender cuz they were rubbing. saturday i pulled the front axles and replaced the u-joints that were popping and about to give out. had to take her out and test the new u joints...ended up ripping off my passenger rear fender .....guess ill be trimming sooner than expected hehe...anyway ill post some pics of her in a lil bit.
do you think the stock roof rack will hold a 31" spare and a high lift?
