I was all set to pull the trigger on the relocation brackets today, but then I went to the bank Looks like I will have to live with the rough ride till I find a bit more money, or a way to get the parts delivered and picked up in Ogdensburg or Massena NY
I could always try make my own relocation brackets, but I don't have any way to bend 1/4" stock and don't trust my welding on something like that yet

Yeah, but now you moved out to the boonies and will have to make a long trip to get to him

It's too bad the dollar is so poor right now. The wife and I were looking at popping over to grab some things but it's not really worth it anymore. We've got to make a trip at some point, if you're looking for some kinda delivery service lemme know.
You might find some sympathy with Ottawa Valley Offroaders or Eastern Ontario Trail Blazers, I think some of those lads make regular trips over for Jeep parts.

My neighbor makes monthly trip over, but she just did her trip on Monday. It is the state of the dollar that puts me just behind the 8 ball on the replication bracket purchase. That $100 becomes $130, then there is the $41 US shipping and the cost of duties if I did the purchase right now. I figured it out to be just over $200 when all is said and done. While not too expensive my income is getting cut in half as of today so that $200 could be put to better use. Like buying materials to get my knife making back up and running again.

Stroker. No question. Not sure I'd want a supercharger. Seems like overkill for the inline 6. This motor was built to be a torque monster, and that it is. Love it. Sounds killer.

Put the jam nuts on my adjustable UCAs to immobilize. I tried to immobilize them with heavy grease and it worked for a while but they started chattering pretty quick. Test was successful but yielded negative results.
Also extended the lowers by quarter of an inch to reduce vibes and improve caster/steering. Some of the vibes are gone but they have been replaced by new vibes of a different frequency, so I gotta work on it some more.
Rides nicer

I honestly want a supercharger to say I have one(inner child). Which kit did you go with? If you don't mind what was the rough cost of the build and what are you netting for HP/Tq
