So yesterday I started to swap my 242 T/C for the 231 and finished it today on my lunch break. Tonight I'll probably remove the fuel tank.

Thanks for the compliments. It's not been too easy with making it look halfway good. I like to try to have a unique ride.

What the F man, get out of my head. My rig is the Urban Assault Vehicle, well at least the 2nd iteration. The first was my 78 Jeep Cherokee Chief with the 401 big block. I wish I still had it...it would drive over whatever it didn't level.

Nice Grand though. What part of Utah are you in. I was in Sugarhouse SLC for a year. Too bad it was before my XJ days or else I would have been to Moab more frequently.

BWAHAHA! That's pretty funny. I live in Clearfield, which is right next to Hill Field Air Force Base.

I got two of my 35's mounted on the new/used wheels. I'll post a pic or two soon.

So I'm toying with the idea of cutting the top of the roof...in between the braces and making a removeable soft top. Now, also keep in mind I will be building a roll cage and bracing the "frame" . What do you all think?

I like the idea of cutting the roof panel out and making a soft top.
