    Moar parts :) Hopefully the headers will be here tomorrow so I can get those put on and make sure everything is gonna clear. And if the orbital would come off back order sometime soon that would be nice as well. :rofl:

    Its a tight fit, but I think it'll work out.

    I still need to pick up the rest of the stuff for the pinion brake to get it mounted. I wish there was a way to stuff it behind the axle as well but doubt thats gonna happen :lol:

    You know you got one going the wrong way ;)

    Looks like a remote control car, and someone made a model garage to put it in.

    Its for when I get scared and want to back up real fast :)


    Yup I do have a small garage that im insecure about :( And I think you'd be suprised at the amount of $ I have in this one, its much less than I did in gold and will be about a million time more capable both on and off road than it was. And yes this is perfectly street legal here in GA :D at least on the back roads that I normally drive around on

    Are those headers from speedway? I was thinking about a set of their stainless block hugger headers for my CJ6.
