I'm gonna have a lot of time free this summer. If I'd had the winch the snow wouldn't have stopped me. Plus I have a friend who's going to sell me 5 M/T 33" for 500 bucks. They only have a couple hundred miles on them so I'm about to get a deal.

If your TJ sounds like a diesel, then pray your muffler doesn't look like this.

Here's a fun video of me trying (unsuccessfully) to get past the snow over the weekend.

That's pretty much what I ran into trying to go out the last few times. Could've made it, but it's a big gamble wheeling alone. You been working on getting that winch on?

Hopefully Oregon stays the way it is. I got some needed top down time today.

I've been trying but I've been busy with work. I still have to figure out a mount for my bumper and grill guard

I'm heading up to Seattle this weekend to pick up a 5.3 vortec. Looks like I need to get front coils from an I6 or else I'm going to have sag when I drop this in

My right front caliper has fully gone out so I need to upgrade my brakes earlier than I wanted to. I was going to need to upgrade anyways to provide better stopping power for the bigger motor but I was hoping to wait until July.

Yeah it's going to really delay the swap now due to finances. I'm getting the motor this weekend as long as my federal return comes in and the rebuild kit in two weeks. Then a month later is a new transmission, and then a proper bellhousing. And finally a new radiator and rear axle. But hey on the bright side I can sell my Dana 30,stock motor and transmission, and make some of that money back. Still getting frustrated by these delays [emoji36]

I just found a guy who's going to trade me straight across his full colors for my half doors!

I calculated my mpg on the way back from Seattle and even with the motor in the back running my 4 banger and 3 speed auto I got 19.3 mpg.... Kind of worried because stock they never came like this ever... Could be the new exhaust manifold I guess

It's amazing what can improve the the O2 sensors are working for you! Lol. Same thing happened to me when I replaced my exhaust. We stopped counting the holes before we got to triple digits!

I still haven't replaced my muffler either so it was really surprising.

I'm definitely going to try and get it looking nice. I may even soda blast it and paint the block with some vht rattle can.
