It took 6 cans of Krylon OD Green to cover all the blue on the outside of my MJ evenly. I used another 3 cans or so to do the interior metals, door jambs, and engine bay.
I'm just going to scrap the factory carb and run this one on the edelbrock intake:

Seems like a better option than spending money to rebuild the factory one. A local guy here put one on his XJ and it runs awesome according to him.
Been looking at the edelbrock intakes, and it doesn't look like they have a 4bbl top that will accept EGRs? So, if I want emmiossions legal I have to stay 2bbl, right?
It depends. In VA they do a visual check for all factory installed emissions components, then run it on a dyno.
BTW, mine was failing miserably with a bad EGR. I'd be suprised if one could pass without one.
I did it in mine, but not the JC Whitney one. It looks nice and very tough, but it was a PITA - definately a 2 person job. This stuff is heavy and stiff. It takes a lot of yanking and wrestling to get it in place.
I finished welding it up yesterday and reinstalling the splash guards. I looked long and hard at trimming the flares and fenders. It looks easy to do, but the pics I've seen of people who trimmed theirs in the front makes it look kinda funny to me. The lines in the front don't seem to match the lines in the back. I dunno. maybe. lol
I will have to disagree with you. My truck looked like @$$ before. It has come a long way and looks good to me, but my neighbors might not agree. I'm still waiting for the HOA complaints to come in. It's amazing what a few cans of spray paint can do.
