Great day at MVC

**korisu56** · 01-21-2010, 20:01

CJGumby (shane) and myself took my CJ up to MVC at 0500 this morning (arrived at 0830). We prepped a lot of the jeep for the motor swap and paint job by dismantelling it

Watch the build thread. Pics and stuff to come tomorrow. Awesome day, can't wait to see it.

To be done:

-Desert Tan paint inside and out (including cage)
-Lining inside
-New to me 4.2 to replace the tired ass one

Thanks to Matt, Damien, and Rob for all the pointers today and opening their shop to us.

i thought you were going with a 4.0?
staying with the carb or going fi?

Was a great day for sure. I also want to give thanks to Matt "money makes us smile"-we heard the story, Rob, and Damien. Always a great time up there and cant wait to haul my rig up for a well overdue makeover.

Wise wisdom of the day - "Chris you can't work on shit without supervision"

The 4.0 head just ran too much damn money for right now. The 4.2 was below half the price and it will just have to stay as is. It'll be carb'd again. Once this motor tanks, we'll see what's around the bend. Right now its all about dependability and preparation for the trips.
