thanks guys.. it means a lot. really. i've always loved getting my hands dirty. i helped build my dads 74 cj 5 twice due to a garage fire. when i bought the truck i didn't plan on putting this much work into it. i figure tune up, fix the 4x4 and then lift. boy was i wrong. the PO had no idea what he was talking about. Lucky for me i have my dad who over the years has learned some things and is willing (reluctantly) to put aside his projects and help me get my ride on the road. i work 4 or 5 days a week with high school and 8.55 an hour to pay for this thing. i was really determined. theres a few more things that need to be taken care of. the bed is in need of replacing. both front corners underneath the liner are missing. i need to beat all the rust off the frame and under coat it. theres a list but hey. there always is.
and whether directly or indirectly you guys and this site have helped me out a lot. so thanks
also. don't tell the local police but i took my truck down the street and back for a test drive yesterday with out it registered. lol. with 32's and stock gears i was really surprised at how much get up and go she has. i accidently chirped the tires when i pulled away. i was probably only at like 1500 rpms and got off the clutch a little quick
