you fellas are getting pretty scientific with the stuff you burn. For us, so long as it isnt rotten or a type of wood that gives off a bad smell/ posinous it gets burnt. Hickory, Oak, Boxwood, Maple, Poplar, Locust, Sasafrass, Ash to name a few. Oh and terrawombat, you call that a splitting maul? :shake: When i get back home from FL i will take a picture of what we call a splitting maul. :D

FWIW its been $2.88 here in good ole Tennessee for about a week, just jumped up to $3.02 the other day. I know, has nothing to do with the original post. :roll:

Severe colic? Our horses get that sometimes and if let go it can be fatal, and let me tell you that is one of THE worst ways for a horse to go. Terribly sorry for your loss. :(

If its not asking to much, i would love to see a build sheet of your motor. :peek: Eagle rods, Ross or KB pistons, Scat billet crank, am i close? 8) and FWIW i will probably spend $2500-2700 on the next go round and thats nothing fancy, at all.

As a personal investment i would highly advise you snag the rear bumpers (if in good shape) and any D44 that might be hidden. And the fuel sending units

I've priced a few, but never bought. . . some what, guilty as charged :oops:

I would say the TPS is out of adjustment.

Ouch. :ack: Even if the D30 is an HP and neither axle has ever been used and was just painted. I'm thinking $500, my humble opinion only.

:agree: , on both accouts ditch the D35 and have the new gear set professionally installed. That is, unless one of your buds IS a professional

I don't think you were robbed blind, but he damn sure didnt give it away either. ;) Come to think of it, thats the most i've ever heard someone paying for their comanche, FWIW i payed $1000 for mine. :cheers: I wonder, what do you get for the comanche that has everything? :hmm:

or a decent engine. :shake:

Same thing here, i was thinking maybe 4k but even thats pretty freakin steep.

and ya i probably should quit going on craigslist.

:drool: :drool: and again :drool: Rake looks a little off but who cares. :drool: I sure wish i had that kinda money, Oh and i ment to ask this earlier, how much did you end up paying for that work of art?

agreed. :D , 7120 head + bored TB + (99 - 04) intake = a WHOOOLE mess of fun

http://nashville.cra...3463477566.html Not sure its 7k worthy but my god its nice, :drool: what makes it worse is that i live only a stone's throw away.

Ya don't get me wrong, i have done hard manual labor since i could walk. Only slightly overstated. I love to work with my hands and if i knew i could make 100k a year being a mechanic, building custom rigs or performance engines I would never have given college a second thought. But since i don't see to many jet setting grease monkeys i figured my best bet would be a college degree. Just a little background, my first job in high school i spent a year working on a sawmill for 9/hr. Only employee except for the owner, all winter long, outside 5 F* snowing and sleeting and still pulling 80lb 2x10s of the mill. A few years later i worked for a summer at a Plant nursery for 7.50/hr, hands down the worst job i have ever had. 101* daily laying pallets of red ant infested sod, moving 100 gallon pots of half grown trees and gertting yelled at daily about how poor of a worker i was by the owner. I personally attribute my back problems to my time working at this place. Then just this past spring/summer I worked as grounds keeper at a apartment complex, 9/hr not a bad job at all. I actually liked it for the most part, execpt for the occasional freak out of my boss when the big bad regional manager stopped by. Had to quit so i could do "better" in school, but as you know it didnt really make a difference. All said i Truly enjoy working hard and knowing that i have earned my money, but as it would seem the more difficult the work the less the pay, how messed up is that? :nuts:

aaand the front?

Keep in mind responses won't always be so speedy, some of us just like to lurk on here this time of night. :D and welcome to the club, joshua. :wavey: Oh and your link doesnt work.

I appreciate all the advice, but unfortunately fate (mostly my own doing) has dealt me a cruel blow. Some of you may know that i am attending college at this current time. Last semester, I lost my scholarship , through which was my only means to afford paying tuition without taking out a private loan. This past fall i decided to make a last ditch effort to regain said scholarship by taking out a small subsudized (the one without interest) loan to pay for the necassary credits it would take for me to reach the next scholarship evaluating benchmark, basically to see if my GPA was high enough to re-awarded. As luck would have it, i was no where near the neccassary GPA come semesters end. So, now i faced the choice of either being a sod laying grunt for the rest of my life or forking over money via loans to pay for college. Going into dept is something i fear more than death. Now here comes the REAL kicker, after wasting 9 months of my life researching, studing, working, and saving so that i could finally build my own jeep stroker, i find out all the money i have saved won't be enough. Soo, dishartend and depressed i ask my money be returned and vow to return with the proper funds at a later, unknown, date. Now with $2000 in my pocket, i think to myself, at least i can buy my family some nice christmas presents, something that i have not done in years. But even this single moment of happiness is stripped from me when i find out about my scholarship, and realize the sacrafice i must now make. Either use this jeep money that i spent a year saving up to continue going to school or lose the chance to regain my scholarship permantely. Sorry, I know that was a little long winded and if you havent guessed yet, it will be many seasons before the MJ is once again moving under her own power. :cry: Couldnt resist could you? :laughin:

Thats nice to know, but how would you know how to repin the connector? That would be a pretty sweet writeup, :brows:

Well said. :thumbsup: and that last bit about the stroker? If only its was that easy. :(

I'm pretty sure you can't do that without swapping the under dash harness as well.

What ? :hmm: what do you mean straight hosed?

mmmmmm . . . I'm gonna have to interject, TPS, fuel lines, and the EGR system have to be adapted/removed, not easy if you've done it before, hard if you have never don't it, even with help. On the intake some vacuum lines also have to be lengthed and/or redirected. If I had the choice between the two, i would go for the all Renix engine with the cleaned, angled, and ported head, because A. shop does all the work and B. you would probably pick up the same gains as you would from doing all the work it takes to get the Renix controls to adapt to the HO equipment. As a side note, I don't fully understand what you said about flywheels? Why is tooth count so important? CPS?
