sweet. and if you have any questions, just ask

 

Right on I appreciate the help. You are running propane now arent you?

 

i wanted to, but the price was a lot (for me, anyway). then i had to do the timing chain guide, so there went any money for propane. i just checked the other day, and found that the price of the kit had gone down, so now it's actually somewhat reasonable, so i'm thinking about it again. maybe.

 

Oh yeah. I couldnt remember if you had swapped or not. I think it would be worth doin if you could afford it.

 

well, the fuel costs are about the same, just a bit cheaper on the propane side. it would take me a while to earn back the costs. the main thing, though, is extended range. i can get 360+ right now, but with the addition of 'pane, ~600, which is a week and half of driving for me. this is my dd, so i'm more interested in the fuel-saving aspects.

for what you want to do, it's perfect. no spilling of gas, no stalls on steep grades, no stale fuel. great for crawling.

 

Dang thats a pretty good improvement on distance. It would be great for a DD to have. Even better for crawling

 

My buddies new parts truck. I am gettin the spooled rear third and some other small parts. He is steppin up to the 35s on this and I get the 33s from his 84

 

Looking good Zach! Glad to hear your gettin the '87 runner!!! been lookin over the last 10pages of your build, things are commin along nicely. and BTW I am jealous, those are some of the best wheelin pics ever!!!

 

Thanks Ethan! I am stoked for the runner too. Still up in the air about what the plan is but it will be sick in the end.
Did you get yourself another rig?

 

I got a steal on a 1988 Jeep Cherokee. Not a yota, kinda bummed at that, but i couldnt pass up this chance.

 

Least ya got something to drive and get ya on the trail.

hey zach you still goin up wheeling next week? im pickin up my front shaft tomorrow. i just read through your build thread and wow i cant believe how much engine trouble you have had. i built my first 22re for 650.00 parts and machine work with new pistons, rings, bearings, wrist pin bushings, line boring, turning the crank, resizing the rods, decking the block, and a full gasket kit through gun automotive.

but let me know if you are still planning a trip and what day to see if i work or not.
