"If you build it, they will come."


As it stands today, I will be swapping in the TC and transmission this Saturday. And if we are able to pull the other axle on the same day, the D30 will be going in as well. The day is quickly coming.... About damned time!

The jeep that the transmission and TC came out of had an engine fire. In the process, the kick down cable burned out. So we just gotta run the kick down cable from my tranny into the the 4x4 one and everything is good to go. Only thing left is to complete the linkages. AFAIK I'm missing the handle. I haven't seen the lot of parts yet.... had a buddy pick 'em up. I'm so pumped lol. Gonna be a 0700 morning on SAT with donuts and coffee and all hands on deck. I wanna get it done in 6 hours (which I've helped do before). Thankfully. The jeep has been lifted so I know the axle bolts aren't seized thankfully.
