Installed a viper coil pack and permanently eliminated my coil rail.....

That completes my total engine rebuild. Back on the road....

Yanked the seized a/c unit, installed an a/c delete pulley and installed a new serpentine belt to replace the one that popped on the way to get the a/c system evacuated last weekend.

Just need to replace the tire I blew in Moab a month ago and I'm back to a fully functioning rig!

Finally got it operating properly yesterday by a shop after a week and a half of being down.

Drove it an hour to school today.

I've been looking at pop-up tent trailers on CL. For around 1-2K you can have a comfy unit, with heat, a fridge, a latrine, 2 stoves, sleep 6-8, and can probably have AC and electricity for not much more...plus, then you dont have it on your roof when you're out wheeling...

Once my frame is plated, and the 3 link goes in, I'm pretty sure I'll be getting one...

The plan: get garage time this evening, degunk the engine, swap the valve cover gasket and change the oil.

The reality: get a sinus infection. Go to home depot and buy an in-lb torque wrench, than sit at home and think about changing the valve cover gasket and oil.

I call BS. Massive BS. For that price anywhere else I've seen, you get a rotten frame, slashed soft top, the fridge leaks more propane than the stove, and the whole thing smells like cheap tax-free cigarettes.

I didn't say I've seen them in person, LOL...however...saw a Coleman unit on not long ago, for about 2K, and the reason it caught my eye is someone I work with has the same one. He got his for $2500 off CL a couple years back. And it's awesome. I'm sure I'll have to sort through some turds when I'm ready to buy, but that's a ways off, LOL

There's always got to be one of those. Like people who tell me there are rust-free XJs in the rust belt...

(Although, on Sunday the wife and I spotted a PRISTINE MJ. We're talking brand spankin' new. Must be a summer toy. She thinks I creeped the driver out with my staring)
