It runs great, still has good pep under acceleration.
I picker up some fiberglass front flares. Going to paint them to match this coming week. then I should be doing the cage in the next few weeks. Excited to finally have it "done"

did some fiberglass bracing and repairs to the flares today, then sanded it all down and had X1994J spray them for me. Looking good! excited to get them on.
Current plan is to run those up front, and my front bushwhackers on the rear making the wheel well bigger and able to fit a little stretch in the rear.... we will see how it goes. good, or bad! lol
another little update on the motor, although its better and has more grunt then the stock 4.0L its not stroker
but it does RUN! hopefully the machine shop gives me my money back or fixed the motor at no cost to me...

I might have missed this but while you are waiting for the machine shop to get their **** together what motor are you running?

I thought so about the flares. They'll look good.
I'm sure someone in your area will scoop it up pretty quick. Motor looks like fun. Can't wait to have more zip.
