So long term I think I am going to be happy with the Ford 8.8 in the rear. Biggest tires it will ever have are 35's but the engine will of course get more powerful the more I tinker with it. I've looked at a good super 8.8 kit and I think it would make a great long term solution. The axle is...

Nothing fancy but after two disappointing losses from the Blazers and 1 from the Packers this is needed. Sent from my SM-G960W using WAYALIFE mobile app

Here is that hand drill I was referring to. I should have taken a before picture but imagine it really rusty and without the proper screws for the handle. Sent from my SM-G960W using WAYALIFE mobile app

I know I have a separate thread for a specific pipe vise but I'd like to document all of what I've been doing for all of the tools I've been restoring in one spot. To start with I just finished restoring this old manual chuck hand drill and I've been making good progress on that pipe vise as...

I'm going through my great granddad tools some more and uncoveres this. Perfect handle and the metal is in great shape but I cant find the name for this knife and therefore I can't find the sharpening procedure. I need to reset the edge but don't know what angle to hit it at. Sent from my...

Not Jeep related but I'm having a great time doing it. I inherited a few tools from my great-grandfather after he passed 8 years or so ago. One of them was a really nice pipe vise. Made in Greenfield Massachusetts it's in excellent shape just needs cleaning up and a recoating. I'm taking it...

Got some good work in today. Most of my checklist and feel good with my progress. Sent from my SM-G960W using WAYALIFE mobile app

Also I have my first extension cut out. Still have to take the flap disk to it to clean it up but it came out great. Sent from my SM-G960W using WAYALIFE mobile app

Got a good amount of work done today. Frame is cut and I have some final trimming and cleaning up to do on the cab but I should be able to build my brackets and dry fit the closeout panel. Sent from my SM-G960W using WAYALIFE mobile app

Mine had 106k when I got it in 2014 I think it was. I had just cleared 120k when I started the engine swap and probably put on another 2k over the past year. Holding up remarkably well considering I keep tearing it apart and changing it further. Surprisingly I liked my ZJ better for on road but...

Maybe something like this? Obviously this is based on the aev platform but I'm seriously leading towards it. Would make it insanely easy to repair as well. Sent from my SM-G960W using WAYALIFE mobile app

Here's the pictures I snapped through the process. Sent from my SM-G960W using WAYALIFE mobile app

The chapter on yeti closed last week. I pull the engine out of her and gave the rest to the scrap yard. Got to the point where It was just taking up space in my driveway and I couldn’t deal with it nor did I have the time to. Sent from my iPhone using WAYALIFE mobile app

Here she is all done. Loading up tonight and heading out tomorrow morning. Much needed break from all the bullshit in the last week. Blown up Grand Cherokee and wrangler that won't start. I'm currently driving a buddies 85 d150 and I'm probably going to buy it off of him. No electronics to fail...

No worries. I'll get the ad to you and hell I'll wrench on it with ya. I'm gonna miss that beast Sent from my PH-1 using WAYALIFE mobile app

Like I said, if it was the 4.0 I would just do it but I've pulled the intake three times now in the last couple months and I'm fed up. I have a spare temp control panel and Vic. I would be pulling the sound system out though since I may have spent more than it's worth when I first got it. I also...

Honestly the head gasket is definitely blown and I don't know if I did any other engine damage if I'm being transparent. I've got spare parts for it and I'd leave the budget boost on plus the roof rack and stickers. Sagging headliner and bad temp control panel are the biggest other issues other...
