Congratulations brotha! It's truly a fantastic feeling. All I have left is exhaust and to figure out what the grinding is in my rear end.

It's probably Taco Bell. Does it to me every time.

Thanks everybody. I'm hoping I can take Thanksgiving weekend to do a shakedown trip.

Want to meet somewhere in between on the ,24th? Like Hackett Gulch? Usually not too snowed in.

I'll have to talk to Motech and see what the time frame is on the exhaust before I nail down plans but I'm up for a gulches run if everything pans out.

I had to replace the old corroded terminals on the battery and found these on the interwebs. Plenty of room for expansion and good solid contact.

Those are pretty slick. Who makes them?

The place is called Jim's machineworx. It looks like he specializes in stereo equipment but they are solid and a clean design. A little pricey but made is US of A so I'm ok with it.

Finally got a notification today that what I hope is the rest of my parts from Motech, are on the way and should be in friday. This weekend I should finally be able to drive past the end of the driveway.

Just a quick update on this. I got the exhaust installed on Saturday and took it for a ride. It runs good but I have a few gremlins that I need to work out before it's ready to hit the trail. At this point I have no cooling fan, the speedo is off significantly (about 15%), I have a check engine light and a traction control light. The big downside to all of this is we are down in Florida visiting family over the holidays so it will be sitting until after New year's. The upside is it will for sure be ready for Jeep season this spring, and while it won't have lockers, it will have plenty of skinny pedal.

The wait sucks for sure but something to look forward to in 2019.
