Anytime. I am anxious to see what your rig will look like complete. I look forward to meeting you soon. I think you met my good little buddy Russ.

You made the list because you've contributed to this forum and shared your knowledge whether direct or indirect over the last 3 years.......and I've met you personally so that's even more of a reason :thumb:

Thanks Woody. Looking forward to seeing you here in Texas.
 
Congrats on the build! I know the feeling. I'm going through the same thing just a different build (2dr stretch) but I saved 2.5 years, and it's a hard thing to do.We are doing a lot of the same products. I can't wait to see your finished jeep!:beer::rock:

Wes and Tim will be documenting the build with pictures of the progress.......I believe the build is scheduled to begin on this Monday the 11th and be completed by the 1st week of June barring any setbacks......

I did not.......I'm going to stick with the 3.6 until it takes a shit and then upgrade to an LS.......I'm not a heavy foot driver to begin with and I've talked with a few 60/60 combo stock motor 3.6 rig owners who have been satisfied with the power the 3.6 supplies.......We shall see if that's the case.......I'll start saving for an LS upgrade and maybe in 3 years I'll be able to upgrade to an LS....

Just don't drive a jeep with an LS or hemi and you'll be good. I've driven/rode in both and it's not good for the wallet.

LOL.........Understood........TJ had a 6.4 Hemi JKU in their shop when I was there......they started it up and pulled it out of the bay........impressive:thumb:.....that's really the only word I could use to describe it :rock:
