Amen, it's time I lifted it out of the bay and did an overhaul. It just seems like too much for my shallow knowledge to handle

 

Thanks guys. Erkmed XJ, I agree it pops out a surprising bit more, especially from a distance. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. And Atmos, thanks haha I'm glad you approve haha!

Absolutely. It's crazy how even the smallest things can make a big difference.

Thank you guys. It was a lot of painting, and cleaning but it was time well spent. Anybody can rebuild an engine, and clean it up like I did mine, it just takes a lot if patience, motivation, and interest to obtain the skills necessary to accomplish it it also costs a lot i might add... That aspect sucks. But its money well spent!

Anyway, it took me a lot of studying before I felt like I could tackle the task. The whole rebuild ended up being more like a college education in automotive mechanics haha. I learned so much throughout the whole process, and even though it got really frustrating at times, it was a lot of fun

 

I find that you can do anything if you got the right help. My problem is I gotta drive the damn thing everyday.

 

same here, having it as your dd limits what im willing to tear apart

 

X2 ^. I need to pull my transfer case to see why my 4x4 isnt working

 

X3 ^^^ haha

At the time when I rebuilt my jeep I was fortunate enough to have another car to drive. But now my jeep is the only vehicle I have so I understand being hesitant about taking it apart.

 

wow man, this came out fantastic. Nice ride

 

Thanks man!

 

April cotm is approaching...time to get some saucy shots for entry

 

Saucy ain't gonna cut it. You're gonna need to go out and shoot some bangers
Then change the name of this build thread to Rolling Butter

 

that'd be the best idea too, people mostly vote off photos now though, reading the specs on it has become obsolete.

 

I've been wanting to go out and take some pics for the entry but I haven't gotten around to doing it. If the weather was better I would go today or tomorrow. Now here's the thing! Im going to moab the 26-29 of this month. Should I wait and try for May COTM so I can have some awesome
Moab shots, or should I just go out on some local trails and get some and still shoot for April COTM?

 

why not try both if april isnt promising?

 

Hey boss, by chance do you have a complete side view pic with your roof rack just to have an idea and picture a 60" long roof rack?

 

why not both?
