Sweet! Now you can sell it and get a car that isn't almost as gay as a miata!

When your dicks big enough you can drive anything you want without fear 😎 but really thanks

Is it running and driving? What else do you have planned?

It is! I will probably raise it in the coilovers for a little extra clearance first but I am gonna drive it as soon as I can, bit busy week though.

Not a huge amount planned, I have the cams sitting in my garage but first it'll be a lot of reinstalling interior/exterior trim, bumpers, etc. Eventually I want to repaint it myself but I'm gonna try to enjoy it for the season before diving into anything else.
Or has it just begun?!

I suppose that could be it... It's pretty likely I get beaten down by a bunch of little things like Rick since I've never done an engine swap before lol

Handles really well I got it up to 90 and didn't feel like I was gonna die. It's hard to shift, and I lost my clutch when I tried to pull into my driveway. I probably need to try to bleed it again, it was already a hard time getting it where it is now and it isn't good enough. Something be dragging on one of the wheels too but I don't think its a caliper because it didn't get hotter than the others. Sounds terrible tho

Man I would lose that gas cap.

Congrats on the big milestone, that thing is sweet.
 
No, that’s not a good choice for me. Not because of the fashion statement, but because it’s just not something I want to drive. My vehicle choice has nothing to do with image. I’m very comfortable with my personal image. Not to say it’s a good image, but because I’m comfortable in my own skin having nothing to do with how my house or vehicles appear.
 
Good as new!!

I swapped it to the rear passenger just in case, too.

I added the gluetreads, colby emergency valve stems, and one of them snatch block ring thingers to my jeep kit.

I just added the emergency valve stems to my gear after seeing woodrow use them on Cliffhanger. I already carry glue treads

That is exactly why I bought them too. And we needed a snatch block to unflip a jeep on wheeler lake and I didn't have one
 
So I was out working in the driveway for 5-6h and wasn't paying much attention to the dog. He isn't really a wanderer and normally ends up laying in front of the front door, so I wasn't too worried about it.

Well I finished up and cleaned up and couldn't find him. Called him a couple times walking around the yard and he didn't show up. Ugh, must've wandered off, that's never happened before. So I pulled the cover off the Jeep and started it to go look for him. He must've heard that and popped up over in the neighbors yard trying to figure out where the Jeep was going 🙄

Good thing he can't resist going for rides, I guess
