Received and installed 703 injectors today. Install was really easy, no big hurdles. Started her up, no leaks and seems to be running well. Might be my imagination, but the idle does seem smoother.

Big thanks to Programbo for sending them out, he's an awesome guy to deal with.

I'd go 1/2 on everything. 3/8 bolts aren't that strong. I've never broken a grade 8 one, but I have to be careful not to break a grade 5 one.

So far all I've done today is get a new diff cover for the rear. Took it off my MJ, so its still a Dana cover, but its not beat up like my original was. And painted it red. Got the gears set up right too, since I swapped carriers.

Looks good. I almost painted mine silver, but found a can of red paint and couldn't find my silver.
Give it a week and mine will be all scratched up and dirty again though
