I'm not in Florida, I'm in Michigan. I bought it off a guy from Florida. The guy I bought it from is stationed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina. I flew down and drove it back up.

are the hood vents funtional? Also those are some pretty crazy lookin speaker boxes in the front!

You should throw a header and full exhaust to top off that clean motor too Downey is who I reccomend for a header no LCE

The 5speed swap can be done easily

One last thing I would reccomend would be a locker in the back. Just cause

I was going to say, just leave the tires on there. no sense in switching back and forth.

Thanks again guys. Yeah I'm totally happy I found one in this shape with ZERO issues!

are the hood vents funtional? Also those are some pretty crazy lookin speaker boxes in the front!

I do tend to kick the speaker pods when I get in every once in a while. I'm starting to get use to it now though. I find that I really can't use my dead pedal though although I actually want to use it.

I'm planning on doing a Header/Cam/Throttle body/etc... I've been looking into a Downey or an LCE. LCE has some nice performance packages that I'd be interested in.

Yeah the tires are pretty beefy for everyday driving, lol. I was thinking of just getting some BFG A/T's and keeping these for serious off roading.

Seriously, everytime I stop and park I put my hand over the vents and you wouldn't believe the amount of heat that comes out of them. I definitely without a doubt know they are dissipating the under hood heat.

I also have an oversized SPAL fan for the radiator...man that things kicks! I'd be hard pressed to over heat this thing.

Nice!

My biggest word of advice it Stay away from LCE as much as possible IMO. Anyone flame me all you want its not gonna change my mind! Ide go into it more why but it would take up pages and I dont want to hijack!

Sounds like your gonna turn that motor into a pretty badass 22
