Finally finished and mounted my bumper. Just need to throw my led light bar back on. As I was tightening up the bolts another blue cherokee pulled up. The girl driving had overheated it! Easy to do in this 108 deg weather. She had no fluid in the radiator!! Filled it up and told her she might wanna let it sit for a few hours to cool off. Smoke was rolling out of the engine. Looked like it was coming from the exhaust manifold and the Valve cover area. Wonder if she toasted the motor! Lol.
Anyways, I finally got a non-leaky, full drain plug functional trans pan back in my 91 AND I didn't have to swap the upper dipstick tube. PB worked its magic. Thing pulled right out when I got there this afternoon.
To make sure it didn't stick again I dremeled the rusts gunk out, and dabbed some grease in there. I put a new filter in there while it was open. Now onto the bigger stuff.
Finally after what seems like forever I ordered my programmer to do a custom program on my PCM for the Stroker. Also ordered a Digital AEM wideband and a Digital AEM trans temp gauge along with an A pillar gauge pod.
Wrapping up my Stroker project which has taken almost 2 years and way more money than I ever planned on spending... I just want to drive the damn thing!

Got the engine I bought put in a couple days ago. It started up on first crank and ran great. Quieter than my old one and so much smoother. Took it for a drive and blew a freeze plug. Put another in and she's been good for a little while now.

I laced on a steering wheel cover and gave the rest of it a good vacuuming out. My daughter owned this for several years and went to the beach often and brought back a lot of it in the back.
Installed my detour brackets w/ my new Cree 18w leds

Went to the river to go swimming and was playing music with the hatch open. And some (select few words) guy driving a tank truck decided to get to close to my jeep and ripped the back gate off my jeep...then just left!!! Thankfully there were witnesses that saw where he went!

I found him and it was all I could do to keep myself from beating him within a inch of his life. Plus my three friends were holding me back. But I called the cops. They came out and wouldn't do anything for me because I was supposedly parked in a no parking area....so I'm just gonna try and fight him through insurance. It was a pretty s****y day.
