Nope. Gotta go back with a trailer now. An OM617 5cyl turbo diesel, a 258 I-6, two 4.0Ls, 2 AX-15's w/NP232's, a bunch of I-6 jeep headers, intakes, carbs and distributors as well. Cleaned the whole shop up & out. Friend is selling their house so went to help them out.

Good early morning (or late night) guys!
Things are still going well. Jeep's running like a top! Had a problem with the fuel gauge sender not working correctly.... was showing dead empty when I still had 1/2 a tank in it. Pulled the assembly out again, pulled off the sender, pulled it apart and cleaned it up real good with sand paper and then bent the contact on the arm to ensure constant contact at all times, put it all back together and Bob's your uncle it's workin' like a charm!
Now all I gotta do is install my fuel tank skid before Jeeptoberfest. I was kinda hoping to swap in that 8.25 or at least do my disc brake swap but I don't think it's going to happen.

Well I'm never going to Gunther mazda ever again. And I don't think I'm ever going to try to buy a new car ever again.
Long story short. We had that mazda3 for a little over a week. They gave us a car and we never got fully approved for it. So they told us they wanted it back. In the process I lost my jeep cause they claim it got taken some where. And they don't know where it is. So I get back a 1000 dollars for the Jeep. when i paid (3300 and put over a grsnd in new parts in it) I'm never buying a new car again, and I'm deff not going back there ever again. So now im truing to figure out what new car or truck or jeep to get. Im better off buying used junk for cheap. Always have been. Never had any good luck trying to buy any new car new. Least with cheap used cars I get my investment out of them. Because I know I can fix anything on them and stuff or upgrade them for cheap.

Yup. arrived on tuesday afternoon. Haven't bothered to put it in though 'cause the current "afro-engineering" is working perfectly. It's in the jeep though for such an occasion as Murphy paying a visit.
x2 on this...
lol... and this.

My onot issue with this one besides any mechanical drive like issues is the electrical issues. That could creep up later on. I'm 50/50 on that one compared to the other Cherokee. And I know where that truck is located in keylargo. And during of me. That whole area was under 5 feet of water. I would need to ride down and take a serious look at it. And see if the motor will even turn over by hand.
