BWAHAHA IT LIVES!!!

****ing nice man. Congrats.

 

Went to All Breeds Jeep Show in York, PA with e_hall. Had a blast. And cleenrob, congrats. We found a LS swap in an XJ that looked factory today.

 

Thanx! Its still got issues, it wont run longer than a few seconds and theres still a lot to be done before it can be driven, but at least i know it runs...kinda

Nice, im suprised the abs is still in it

 

I ordered a tranny cooler and I and a fan for the front of the radiator.... I took it on the dunes

 

got it to idle!


wel....kinda its misfiring pretty bad on at least1 or 2 cylinders

 

NICE....sounds killer. You'll get it worked out.

I remember when I put the stroker in, I didn't fire it until everything was back in place. Fired right up. Great feeling. Nice work, sir.

Now go drink some beer,

 

That's so rad. Glug glug glug. Gotta love it.

 

Get some coolant in it please!!!

 

Thanks for your concern but, Actually the area has two layers of steal molded together. I figure the shock really doesn't support the vehicle but just softens the motion of the action of the axle. I took a bfh to it to try and break it loose. It's not going anywhere.

 

lol... thanks man.


Well, over the last few days...

Replaced the lower radiator hose with a used one in good condition, and replaced the CPS with a new MOPAR unit... unfortunately, not the change I was hoping for in the way it runs. I noticed a "whistling" under acceleration, so I may be looking at a vacuum leak - so I bought some new vacuum lines and fittings. We'll see how it works.

Updated the thread with more pics and stuff.

All wired up and lighting up the world!

 

removing it from under the truck was the hardest part. they leave the cars sitting on rims, so working it around on the dirty ground was a pain. once it was out, i had to lift it onto a wheelbarrow, then maybe walk 500 yards to the gate, and then the actual event was to walk with it in my hands for 10ft. i lifted it like a barbell since it has a similar shape and it wasn't too hard. let's say sunday and today my back was sore a little bit, but I'm happy I managed to do it.

 

Rolled over 200k this past weekend on my way camping. Running like a champ!

A totally inexpensive, easy and nice polish and paint job on rims, it only took 4 hours!!

 

New owner here (since Saturday)! Bought some all weather floor mats and a liner for the rear. What a terrific vehicle!!
