Yea. Hopefully the jy has another one I can get tomorrow so I can drive to work Monday. On the bright side, tomorrow's project, putting in a new to me brake booster will give me something to do next weekend.

Was gonna do 3" and 37s on the MJ before stepping up to 4.5" and 44s.

Alas, it is no more. Now I have a YJ to play with.

On topic, the new motor went in the YJ today. Just need to put the front end back together on Monday.

I think its funny how the door sticker says that stock tire size was 215s, but it came from the dealership with 235s. Plus when I bought the jeep from its third owner it had white wall tires on it. WHO PUTS WHITE WALLS ON A JEEP?
