Yeah, a general vacuum leak check is a good idea. The intake manifold is a little notorious for issues.

If it ran nice before (do you trust him saying that?), then I'd start by checking the CTS, IAT, MAP, O2 for being ballpark right. I'd then check fuel pressure. If they all check out I'd pull the fuel rail and see if the injectors are dribbling. Is my troubleshooting the best? No. But it's what I'd do.

Back up to what was swapped over. And did it run right before the swap?

That's cool. Real good compromise for having it fit, a good upgrade for power, and still fuel efficient.

Funny to catch this thread right now. This is the last bottle of the grain free beer I made, and I'm killing it tonight so nobody else has to. Why grain free? It sounded good. Well, it isn't, as should not be a shocker to anyone who knows anything about beer. (I wish Costco could sell beer here, I would like to try it.)

I don't hate it. Honestly the slightly rounded lines of the JK/JL (versus the TJ/YJ/CJ/etc) are a fairly good match to the "boxy but not 100% boxy" that was the 97+ XJ. I'd drive it and enjoy doing so. I also DD a JKU as it is, so eh, maybe I'm already suffering from the effects of being hit in the head too much when I was younger.

95% done on the metal inside. The plumber needs to come finish some things so they can put the last 3 pieces on. Hopefully we get the doors on the end of this week or early next week, then the electrician will come by and get a bunch of stuff done. The electrician has been great, the plumber not so much, and the gas fitter has been MIA for quite a while now.

I will need to trim a few things a bit more, and remove a few smaller trees and one larger one that will die, but I wanted it set in the trees and not visible from the house/road/neighbours. I think it looks a lot nicer this way versus being in a gravel pit. Only downside to this is potential wildfire issues, but I will do a little more work on mitigation for that.

Thanks!

It looks nicer in person than it does in photos. I really like the red metal siding. Cost on it was... Yeah. Interior is coming along. They have started the metal on the upper part/ceiling, but I didn't snag a picture of it. The contractor elected to go with finish plywood, which is somewhat unfortunate as it is too nice. I trust his judgement but he errs on the side of nicer than not, which is great, other than I will cry when I scrape up the beautiful plywood.

This has been super slow, but here's the update. Roof done, siding done, wiring is roughed in, most of it is insulated, lots of other stuff still needs to be done.

What is the tow rating for that thing? Or is there one?

Duallys just look so awesome.

Or are they 3D printed CF? CF reinforced prints are pretty well standard stuff now. I agree if the file was available it would be nice to have made public. Watching SuperFastMatt stuff on the Youtoobs it is very apparent that a 3D scanner and a printer with decent capacity will absolutely change your world for making near factory (or maybe even better) quality parts easily.

I see they subscribe to the "undercoat covers all sins" theory of workmanship.
