  1. Congrats!
  2. I believe that's the downside of why that EFI unit failed miserably. They tried messing too much with the flow characteristics of that manifold instead of buying the 4.0L carb manifold designed for it. (Clifford's) That "neck" of the adapter sat too far into the intake, so I believe that created a restriction along with adding too much volume for the intake runners to handle. Proper intake design is crucial to how and where you make your engines power. Generally you use longer, smaller runners (the "tubes" of the intake) for low end power. And you use shorter, larger runners for higher RPM power (look at a NHRA or NASCAR intake). These guys were trying to go for High RPM power with a large air/fuel source and skinny runners. Granted, the EZ-EFI was capable of fine tuning but they got impatient instead of thinking things through IMO. That head is a 1k head but for that price, you can stroke the 4.0L or a 258 and get more power. I mean if they spent that on the head, the right manifold is only 390 bucks so just get one cause obviously money was not an issue.
  3. I still have that parts truck. Anything you looking for?
  4. You know, with all this 3D printer crap that everybody keeps making stuff with, I'm surprised no one has thought to scan and replicate the housings or lenses yet.I spoke with my neighbor that 3d printed the tilt trim bezels I was selling about making tail lights . The problem with a 3d printer is that the lens would not be clear , it would work for either making the black portion of the tail light or might be useful in making the molds . He told me injection molds would be best . If someone was serious I would LOAN a NOS pair to make the reverse molds , but doubt that's ever going to happen . That's what I mean. Making the housing with the printer and a mold for the lens. Just surprised no one has attempted this yet.

  7. Still looks good man. [emoji106]
  8. Is it wrong to say I just popped a major stuffy at the sight of this?[emoji38]
  9. Isn't that the old Hesco shop truck?
  10. Not really. We live in a swamp down here. You'd be surprised at the ridiculous amounts of lift on some of the trucks here. florida has some of the most ridiculously lifted rigs ive ever seen. I was born and raised in orlando. But moved across the country. Yup. West Palm Beach here. Right on the edge of the Everglades.
  11. I got a 2x4 with your name on it. I can even engrave Eliminator on it. Lmfao
  12. Remember the SX4 Eagle? It was the predecessor to my old street car, Eagle Talon TSi.
  13. Yes, in a heartbeat. Theres an AMC Eagle wagon by my farm I've thought about snagging and dropping a 340 into.
  14. The Patrol was an awesome vehicle along with the Suzuki Jimny (Samurai)
  15. I would run the hell outta that thing. I have a soft spot for oddball cars.

  17. Forget the horn, a finger and colorful gestures are much more effective here in S Fl.
  18. I use the CarQuest (LUK) brand internals on our fleet trucks and on my Mj. Only problems we ever have with failure is if in a lot of water/mud, the silty-fine sands cause wear/failure. Also be sure to bleed all that crappy installation lube (white lithium type of crap) out of it. But if you do use an internal like me, use quality parts instead of cheaping out. Even if you go external, DO NOT cheap out either. Quality components make a big difference.
  19. I'm just giving you a hard time. Lol. Whatever is wrong in the wiring, we have two other harnesses to salvage from. I can get the engine to fire and run outside of the Mj. (Don't ask, I'll just show you.)
  20. Hey! Go easy on my rear window! Lmao.
  21. Don't feel bad, JeepsOlot and myself are the only ones here as well. Well I'm trying to get our friend Ryan to actually use his 4x4.
  22. So your honest opinion, was it a total remake of the original, a totally different storyline or was it somewhere between one of the first three timelines?
  23. I've got another link for something like that. Called the Hummer style snorkel if you're interested.
