Thanks everyone!

Well, I've been busy this week. Took my four days to replace my rear main seal but I finished it up on Thursday and am happy to say it doesn't leak anymore! Finished up the install with a Fel-Pro oil pan gasket. It only took so long because everything was so ridiculously caked in burnt oil and grease I couldn't work for more than a minute without having to wipe it off my safety glasses. Not to mention getting it in your mouth Was going to take pictures but I was so dirty I literally risked ruining my touchscreen

Jeep is nice and happy though. Finished off the repair with new oil and a filter.

Next up on the list are some OME suspension parts Maybe even new control arms (JKS lowers/uppers?). I'll be heading to college in late August so I'm thinking of just keeping the Jeep at 2". I like how it sits now and I'll get decent mileage on the highway. Plus my 30" tires are practically brand new.

Also rust prevention.

Updates to come!

Thanks!

Painted my drum brakes tonight! Was going to throw orange on top of the black but figured I would just stick with black for now.
Loving my jack and jack stands!

784 Injectors went in this morning! Many thanks to Programbo for the great deal. If you guys are looking for injector upgrades on here this is the person with the good stuff. I also referenced Dukie's write-up for installing injectors.

Popped the injectors into the fuel rail after lubing them up with ATF. Here's a picture of them going in.

All six went in smoothly!

Hooked everything back up, primed the fuel rail a few times and started her up! It ran like it had a misfire for about five seconds but then the PCM adjusted and it started running insanely smooth. I let it idle and get up to running temps and I was amazed at how much the 784's had improved the Jeep's idle. It was crazy. After checking for leaks and making sure everything was tight, my dad and I took it around the block. I could tell the difference in improvement these new injectors made over the older ones in acceleration. I am hoping to notice MPG increases in the next few weeks too
Well, the performance stage is finished for now with my build:

BBK 62 mm throttle body
Borla XS Pro muffler w/2.5" Rusty's tailpipe
Refurbished 784 Dodge Neon fuel injectors
Custom VC paint job (instant 20 HP gain)

Next on the list is upgrading the suspension, starting with the front. Then a JCR front bumper Stay tuned! Build will be picking up!
