considering i have basicly built a truck from scratch, if i can manage to pull this of it will be a real accomplishment.
I'm planning to take my '88 waggy, but it just so happens that I sold the 401 out of there today. That thing was burning way too much gas and I just don't have the motivation to properly tune it.
My my 'to do' list includes swapping the entire drivetrain over
1. Install new fuel tank coffin.
2. Install new fuel lines
3. Figure out why hard braking causes the tranny to dis-engage.
4. Figure out why I keep pouring money into this thing without even thinking about it.

Jeeps don't break down, they're just extremely demanding when they need parts replaced!
Depends on where fuel prices are 7 weeks from now.

My list is short on the waggy... it will be trailered this time (more reliable and much cheaper)
1. Brakes
2. Power steering
3. Cooling system flush
4. fix a rust panel
5. install tie downs

We are down to load trailer and drive far.
It's also nice to know that if we break a front shaft Em can change it while I take a nap.
