Welp… today is that time of year again to put the top back on. Unfortunately, I need to drop the new fuel tank due to the fuel gauge not working. That’ll be another day. I was a bit worried how the heavy top would settle on the new suspension, but so far so good.

I’m assuming it was something from inside a fuel hose? When I took the filter housing apart, the icky black stuff was like a furry residue… I guess? Weird.

Damn CJ left me stranded!… blocks from home. It had the same feel in the throttle like it was out of fuel that it’d idle but die when given any gas. So?… … glad I added a pre filter! There’s a 10 micron filter after the pump and I put in a 100 micron filter before that I could keep an eye on. Guess I should’ve gotten the three pack of filter elements at the same time! Not saying I’d be pleased if it decided to clog up two more filters right away, but theres backup elements in the console now.

You know that fancy, new bed I just finished? You know that thing where you slightly rearrange your furniture and bad things happen? Yup… that happened.

Back on the road and into its usual parking spot! I was worried that space would get tight under the floor but there’s plenty of room.

Welcome back again!

I love how four door classics are finally getting embraced. Well done!

At least 4.56s. I don’t out freeway speeds into the equation unless it’s. Vehicle that primarily sees them. Getting to and from the destination in a modified vehicle is absolutely part of the journey.

Literally a day late. I wanted to get the CJ out of the shop yesterday but I just received the replacement tank. Honestly, ordering a fuel tank feels a bit out of character for me that I feel like I typically would’ve made a new one out of scraps or found materials. My material stash just isn’t what it used to be! Anyhow… I should be working on it but I went and broke my toe this morning.

Looking great so far!

^This also. I love my stroker as a 6 cylinder. I’d never build one ever again though.

^This. Even after building a mild stroker, I’d never do more than a quick rebuild on a 4.0 again. The power is nice, but after moving from MN to the higher altitude on CO it just feels more like a brand new 4.0.

There is a drywall screw, a self tapping, machine screw, and a steel siding screw with the rubber washer for extra sealing strength.
