Works on your jeep AND is good looking? Can't beat that combo. My wife helps me work on ours sometimes too, it's nice having a woman that is willing to get dirty.

If it wasnt for you user name I would be second guessing. Any pix or vids?

I had a buddy that rolled his xj we chopped It and he hooked propane up to it. Freaking thing came alive. Not sure if it ever blew or. If he sold it though.

It's mainly set up for autocross but we have fun with it anyway we can. The weight balance is decent and the rear LSD is shimmed tight. Turbo doesn't hurt either. Our current tires are almost done so we'll have to finish them off soon
