Nothing wrong with the one I have.  However I'm thinking the project for next fall/winter will be a chevy small block and auto swap.

Got some wrench time on it yesterday, along with helping out on some dodge work. 

Shocks are on (thanks for the help Brad), steering is on and toe is set, as well as the frotn suspension on and tightened up. 

New driveshaft should be made this week, and waiting on another diff cover and brake lines to show up.

Jeep made it to Bison ranch and did very well.  Figured out a few things:

1. Know matter how much you know, sometimes you miss something obvious and a friend bails you out.

2.  Dana 60's with 36" tires equal crappy ground clearance and a BIG stuck on a tree (thanks STEVE!)

3.  Getting to wheel/camp with your friends makes all the wrench days worth while!

Nope.  Going with 39's.  It's not on a wheel there.  The IROKS will be for sale shortly.

I'm still trying to decide exactly.  I may have come up with option C.

Option C: give Jeep to Keith and start over with something else.
I'd put something funny here, but you probably wouldn't get it anyway...
