Nich. We would like to see your build. On this forum, the server has limited space. So we us photo hosting service. Most use Photobucket. Once you upload to this free service you place the cursor on the photo and a pop down menu appears. Copy the IMG ... code and paste that in your post. The image will appear when it is opened.

Alight. Quick update.

When I get back from TX next week I will be taking the jeep off the road. So it will be time to strip, clean, and build. I need to replace gaskets on my rear end, transmission, valve cover and exhaust. I will probably redo the head, upgrade to the 99+ intake, bore the TB, finish my snorkel, redo the exhaust with all the same size pipe, wire dual batteries relocated in the cab, some more interior lights, finish my roof rack with all the lights and such. I still need to make some shackle relocation brackets for the leafs. So yea got a long list to do. Even though in about 6-12 months its getting a swap to a new drivetrain. 6.2L/700r4/np231 with a dana 44 front and 8.8 in the rear unless I find something else with disc brakes. Lots of work.
