I plan to change the oil in both differentials and the T-case.

Round trip to the box gives race car status. Not true... I've raised the bar.
Took the race car to Cars & Coffee last month. Thank god the fuel cell is front mounted and 1 lawn chair still fits in the trunk!!!

I just tossed a new lawn chair in the trunk of my green race car last week. Think there's room for about 40 more including the 235-70 15 spare

I can haul a metric buttload of lawnchairs in the ol' Jeep!

I can get an average sized lawn chair in mine... well, as long as it's a chinese one designed for someone under 5'.

It's always friggin' sumthin'. I went to change out a leaky exhaust donut, and of course one of the bolt holes in the exhaust manifold was stripped and I can't find my damn 3/8" Heli-coil kit. Grrrr...

Time for gAyR headers. Does he make them for Jeep yet? You can be the first to get em, Rebbie. Only 1700 bux + tax and shipping.

Sheeit, cap. I have two or three sets of headers around here that I'm already not using. I even have a set of Hedman Husler 1-7/8" primary headers that are pretty much new.

You dont need that shit. Just fix the exhaust correctly with a powerstroke turbo.

I think there's a guy over on IFSJA with a 4BT Cummins in one. I don't see a re-power in my immediate future.

Yeah the 4bt is a popular swap. I dont think a 4 cyl diesel is a sound idea personally. It will have vibrations.

Might be able to fit a sicks cylinder diesel, but it would have to be a pretty meek one so as not to tear up the drivetrain. If I were gonna re-power, I'd go with a LS out of a Chevy pickup so that I could gain an overdrive transmission. Either way, I'm not up for a project of that magnitude.

I honestly dont care to take on a big engineering challenge either. Old vehicles are what they are. If i want LS i should buy a newer vehicle.
