Well I did the injector swap a while back and that smoothed my idle out really well, as well as adding some throttle response. Well, after putting in the Accel kit, the idle sits perfectly still at 750. Doesn't budge at all. I love it! Don't know about anything else yet as I just put it all in and haven't really gotten into it yet. I'll be doing that tomorrow though on the trails.

I installed my jy finds on my door today. Just to get a feel for the stuff. They still need paint real bad. But it'll be alright till it warms up here in Ohio. Oh I also made my drivers door removable. One step down from half doors!

Thanks I'll have to pick a set up sometime soon then, it seemed like a great deal for the price.

And today I didnt do much anything because it was cold, so just put all the parts in the back of the 98 and re-mounted the spare in the back.

Drove it for the first time in 94 days and cut open (can opener style) a honda all down the side as they turned way to sharp in the parking lot and caught my bumper
