    Very nice Jeep. It's light years beyond mine that's for sure.

    Nice!

    Looks like you got the factory accessory swing out spare tire carrier.
    I have yet to see one in person.

    Now stop being bashfull and show us some wide angle shots of the engine bay with the air cleaner off.
    We're dying to see that intake setup!:D

    Just looking at the pics again and it looks like you have the rear axle locking hubs, YES?

    Wow that is a really clean Jeep! Engine is great, I guess I should paint my replacement inline before I install it, lol.

    The jeep is wrecked, got swiped by a 17 year old kid at an intersection. He was going 60mph in a dirty gray spray painted ford pickup and hit my front passenger side just in front of the wheel. Meeting with the insurance adjuster today and the auto body shop to see if she can be fixed.

    Well Im fine and no one got hurt so in that respect its a very very good day.

    I just got back from meeting with the insurance adjuster and auto body guy and things are looking very good no matter what happens!!!

    The jeep is valued at $5,000 (its totaled out at $4,000)

    Scenario #1.) The jeep is able to be fixed for under $4,000 and I drive her away and things are back to normal.

    Scenario #2.) The jeep is totaled out, they give me $4,000 and they let me keep the jeep. I then part the thing out for the several thousand in parts that are still in perfect working condition. I then make a few extra bucks and go out and buy a brand new restored jeep!

    I will know tomorrow or Tuesday what will happen.
