Went to the JY and grabbed leaf springs for a BP and rear shackles off a Chevy truck. Using ZJ lifted coils on the front that I nabbed off a donor wreck. Also got front seats out of a ZJ. Labor day weekend aint going to be labor free.

I put in an electric fan override switch by tapping the wire to the ECM from the efan relay, running it to a switch that grounds it. Going through traffic I usually get a few mm above 210 on the gauge, with the efan on it never even hit 210, a tiny bit below. Awesome

Picked it up from the shop and then drove it on the interstate going 75+ (with no death wobble!) to show it to my grammy and she asked if I wanted to trade it to her for her Buick

After close to 6 months I finally got my Jeep back to my house.


Swung by the J/Y and picked up a low mileage transmission to replace mine. Crazy part is after sitting behind my mom's house for almost 6 months it started on the first try and was able to drive itself onto the trailer.

Time to get really really dirty this weekend.:cheers2:
