What's with the new motor, kid? Are you starting the stroker build or did you blow your motor up this last weekend?

Man, this build is so awesome, that it almost depresses me. I have SOOOOOO far to go. When my XJ grows up it wants to be like yours. Great stuff!

I do have a few mods that will hopefully be hapening this winter. I plan to be pulling the rear dana 60 out and replacing the spindles with larger bore spindles to accomodate 35 spline axle shafts. Along with this i must replace my detroit locker side gears and buy some chromoly shafts. This setup should hold up to 42" tires and 400hp with a good flogging

I want to slowly build up a few parts because in a few years i hope to start a super secret project
