Heck man I'm tempted to send my truck up to you to finish up.   Great work.  

Or you could just buy mine if I decide to sell it. :wink:

 

Thanks for the compliment.

All biffed. Put the B pillar trim and bumper end caps on. Got the hood ready for paint tomorrow.

I am getting it registered tomorrow and am getting my Learners Permit tomorrow. I guess you could say I’m a little excited.

Hood and cowl got painted yesterday along with a couple of other misc things. I also got my learners permit yesterday. I am having a wiring issue which I already moved into tech because “tech Qs should really go in the Tech forum so more eyeballs will see them. :L:  not everyone peruses the projects every day”. Ain’t that right, Pete?

I drove my mothers 2004 Suburban and I realized drive by wire is junk, IMHO.

What's your next project?

I’m thinking I want an LJ. They have the same towing capacity as an MJ, but it is a little bit newer so it should be better as a daily for me in high school.

True, but nowhere near the cool factor.  Regardless, it looks like you're more than capable and have a good support group.  

 

You've got the world by the tail kid ... Go for it!

I feel okay if I sell the MJ because I know a few people interested and they would take good care of it.

Alright, I ran a can of Sea Foam Engine Tune through the engine, and it magically self healed. I am good with that. I still am going to put and crank in it to make sure it doesn't start knocking again. This thing has been such a roller coaster of emotions.

 

It's also kind of funny, parked in the shop, it runs great and doesn't miss, but take it out on the road and it starts missing.:bananagun:

I followed your awesome build thread but admittedly mostly drooling at the before and after pics..........so I don't recall if your fuel pump and/or fuel filter is new or old. If it seems to idle fine and even rev w/out much issue while parked but bogs under load, sounds like a fuel delivery problem, especially if the Seafoam fixed it. Pump, filter and injectors all may be ready for replacement.

All right. I’ll look into that. Thanks!

I have been out driving it some, it runs and drives great (except the rare occasion that it knocks). I still am going to put a crank in it, but I just wanted to give a little update.

 

I have decided I want to sell it or I would consider trades for a rust free LJ as long as it is not red or white (I prefer green).
