In person it's not as cool! Just messing! Lol but thanks it all went together relatively quickly and smoothly got another trip to big dogs planned this coming weekend

 

So much hate driven by pure jealousy lol!

 

Big Dogs is a cool place to wheel. We were there last year and had a blast but, it was the Spring Fling event and it was HOT! Wanted to make it this year but, that isn't going to happen.

Maybe we'll cross paths at an event there next year. I am already looking at possibly renting a cabin instead of tent camping but, that all boils down to what the rest of the group wants to do.

 

Haven't posted in awhile. That's cause I'm poor and haven't done anything. Wheeled again at big dogs, it did great. Ran a couple 10s and didn't break anything. Got a deal on two dana 60 ruffstuff covers so rex and I got new covers. Also bought a hoopty civic for $200 so that's my daily driver now.

 

Rex got some 39.5 iroks and a dana 60 to replace his 44 front. But who cares about him

 

Awe you posted my beautiful truck in your thread

 

3 car Ballin like me.

 

How's the engine?

 

It's bad.. I could sell the covic and make a grand but it's nice getting 30+mpg and not putting so many miles on my truck

It ran fine for 1000 miles after I cleaned the plugs and regapped them that fixed my misfire. It would burn through a couple quarts of oil between gas fill ups lol so I put 20w50 in but I still have around 5psi oil pressure when it's warmed up and idle.

It did start misfiring bad after off roading last weekend. Sounds so bad like a rod knock. I parked it so I'll screw it one of these days. Pull the plugs and see if I can go about not replacing the engine just yet.

 

Lq4 swap

 

Perfect, I just pmed you my PayPal email. You can send some cash this way and I'll have it done by the end of winter. I do want to do an LS1 swap next winter. Wondering whether to buy a blown up cherokee and start clean and swap all my **** over..

 

Build looks killed

 

Bought an engine for $180. Guy says it had 170k. Going to clean it up, regasket it and put a new exhaust manifold on. Going to plate the inner frame rails when the engine is out as well

 

That's a damn good deal if he's telling the truth.

 

I think he is. Said it was a farm jeep with no title and the frame rotted out. I power washed all the old crud off and it looks much better. Got the valve cover off and the valves and Springs are a bit burnt and brown but shouldn't be a problem. I'll start pulling the engine tomorrow
