Bought new wheels (Bought the jeep 3 weeks ago; low and behold, one of the rims is bent/cracked). Installed new hatch struts which results in my teeth being knocked out on the way up instead of being bashed in the head as it falls.

Got new liscense plates for the 97.

I'll wait till it gets a bit warmer out before I start tearing down the donor 4.0 for the 4.7 stroker. The WR450 supermoto project has also bumped the Jeep stroker project down a notch for now.

I think they might be too... That's why i think I'm keeping my Current tires which are 33x13.5 super swampers on mt classics for off road... Have to justify the purchase somehow haha

The Jeep? Definately, just not for a little while.

The WR? Maybe. I did spy a 480 Athena kit for it last time I was thumbing through the catalogs at the bike shop.

Nah no downpipe yet, but ill be getting one soon when I replace my upper o2 sensor.

I installed the header today and decided to take a pic when everything was off. Install went good.

After a trip to the JY I scored 99+ intake, throttle body, exhaust mani(cracked of course). GC interior overhead console with wiring and visors. For twenty bucks got the exhaust mani welded. Now for the install part.
