Slow and steady wins the race..... or so slow folks say.

Luckily Jeeps are just one of my obsessions...er... subjects of interest. So I'm able to play a bit of a shell game between Jeeps and Camaros. I recommend having multiple obsessions to avoid anyone noticing you have too much of any one item.

Baby steps..... for distracted with house stuff and putting new springs in the Camaro with my son. Putting my brake proportioning valve in finally. Getting closer to fire up.

The beauty with the 4 banger in my experience is that they haven't got the power to break or wear out drive line parts. Thus your efforts here should last many, many moons. Nice work. Axle rebuilds are one of the most rewarding and satisfying projects.

The new headers I got were different from my old ones so the down pipes need modifying sadly. Video will be forthcoming.....

Shocks on, air con install and wiring done. Off to get exhaust done. First time she's been towed since I got rid of the FiTech.

Off to get exhaust

I have the full after market set for the rear as well in black. Nice quality, still in box. But it's not factory. I decided against adding it. Bought it maybe 3 years ago. But I can't recall what I paid for it.

And such space! Every time I've got a wood project or something sizeable I'm doing I'm either tripping around, over and around my Jeep and Camaro or I have to move them both outside. For much of my engine install the Camaro was outside with a cover on. You'll have so much space you could...

No. That still goes to the factory heater. The air con unit is separate. But it pushes up tightly against the heater ducting.

Learn a trade they told me. Go to school they told me. Obey the law they told me. Otherwise you'll have to chip rocks when you grow up they told me. Lies. All lies. Hopfuly back to the Jeep soon.....

I'm installing it now: cleaning up wiring and making the hoses, but haven't used it yet. Nice unit, requires a bit of modification but looks to be well made.

I love doing the Durango Silverton train. My kids think it's simply magical. Silverton is one of the best Colorado mountain towns. Thank you for sharing that video.

I LOVED that project!!! Good memory. I haven't thought of that 8 in years. Timmy: love the wide stance here. Very good looking.

If only I'd known: I simply identify as Spanky and in it goes. I'll be damned. Some wiring cleanup, mount my rear locker switch and vacuum gauge and I'll start making refrigerant lines.

That's very cool! My cousin in Leavenworth grew up doing that and his son loved barrel racing. Have you looked into Civil Air Patrol? It's a great way for grown ups and kids to fly.

That's an awesome write up @spankyrjs, thanks! I should have known you'd have such a thing.......

Yours sits a lot higher than mine. I think i need to move my wiring uphigher as it seems to hitting simmering keeping it from going higher. Thanks for the picture; very helpful. Off for a four day trip tomorrow but hopefully have the head unit in when I get back. Camaro all sorted now so full...

The thermostat stuck on my Camaro so I got distracted with that. I put a new serpentine belt on at the same time and flushed the brakes, power steering and clutch. But now I'm back at the scrambler. I'm having trouble getting the head unit for the air conditioning to fit under the dash. If I...

I knew there had to be at least one reason.😉
