not sure who all is following, but my gears are setup, only cost 150$ which isnt bad, a 14bolt is really simple to install gears on.

I need a few bearings for the front spindle, break lines, and its and ex cab shaft. really, im just a good paycheck away from movable. wish me luck!

I've also been reading a lot about the wynjammer and marine intake etc, so if my engine and trans blow up, im going with a mild built v6. im still reading a lot about this though... but i am super anxious to just pull it out of the garage

I'll get some pics and a video up later but here is where I'm at:

1. open headers sound so sick.
2. my xj pitman armed is getting redrilled to accept a 1ton tre *tomorrow?
3.scored some nice racerunner by swayaway shocks at the jyard *22$, retails at 415 each, for the front.
4. brakes are done, F/R, sound stop nicely, if not ill need a MC from a 80s fullsize.
5.steering is done *besides the pitman arm obviously
6. and welding up the shock hangers, and getting the trail gear shock hoops for the front.
possibly out of the garage sunday...depending on how early i wake up tomorrow.
