Got the engine cleaned yesterday, looks better. Also ordered chrome lugnuts and locks from the WS6 Store. It was missing 3 covers when i got it in January; and i returned the cheesy plastic ones i got from SLP. AND....(big grin) ordered springs - Eibach Pro-Kit, not real radical but better than the current Jeep look.
Ooohh and it just started raining - so i can take it under the carport now and towel.. caress it a while : ]

Put more bolts in my exhaust hanger, took off more heat shielding, remove some excess crap. Waiting on more exhaust clamps to put the rest of my exhaust on.

-Yanked out the rearend. Swapped the brake backing plates to go back to LT1 style calipers I saved from the ‘94 (to clear the 15 inch drag rims I have).
-Sent it off with my bud Joey to re-build it with a 3.42 gear set, Moser axles and a mega rebuild kit.
-Dropped the fuel tank and installed a Racetronix fuel pump and wiring harness. Yes, you need to drop the rear exhaust-but it can stay hanging. TIP: Empty that tank first!
-Replaced the loose-as-a-goose rod end joints on the lower control arms and front of the torque arm with new UMI Roto-joints. TIP: Do NOT use rod end joints on a daily driver!
-Received from a friendly guy in a big brown truck a package from the good folks at PCMforless, my spare PCM with the new rear ratio plugged in.
Tomorrow, I’ll button everything up including all new rear brake lines and hoses, pads and rotors.
I’m doing all this freekin work on the ground on my back ALONE in a driveway pitched downwards-so EVERYTHING wants to roll away. A very good reminder that I’m closer to 50 than 40.... NO, I don’t know WHEN that happened!
