Sorry for yelling at ya'll with the title, but after ~16 long months of smashed fingers, rust in my eye, hard lessons, and swearing, my MJ is driveable!

Proof

So excited, my first jeep, second vehicle, and its an MJ! runs pretty good now, can't help but buzz around the block when i have to pull out of the driveway to turn around, any excuse is good enough!

Anyway, coolest thing to happen to me in a long while, excited as all get out to get it licensed and on the streets, just had to share!

Its nice...after fighting it with this and that for so long, I feel like it loves me as much as i love it . :MJ 1: .

finishing up the exhaust tonight, and since my dads a tire man, going through him to get some tires put on it, then licensing it...and the skys the limit!

Also. The MJ is my first manual. I taught myself in the span of roughly 3 minutes how to drive it after that video ended. I don't know if its because its just fun, or because its the jeep, but i feel like i've been missing out driving all the autos everywhere :driving:

Manuals are fun....until you get stuck in stop and go bumper to bumper traffic for three hours.

 

Congrats on getting it running! Even after the numerous vehicles I have brought back to life I still get that special feeling when I hear the motor fire up.

Happened to me once. I put it in low/low and crawled. Every once in a while someone would cut in front and mess up your timing, but definately cuts down on your clutching.

I fixed that issue though....

 

Moved to a town with no stop lights. :rotfl2:
