Thanks guys, here is a video of it starting up and running down at the beach.

Here is a little drive to test out the suspension.
 
Love the video, such a clean build. Are you going to stripe it or leave it "naked?" Mine is also Jamaican and I ended up striping it, however yours looks awesome the way it is. Just fill in the radio with a dummy original. Great job
 
Very nice and Good Job! Interesting that in the initial planning stages of my deciding on colors I considered the tan like yours but then stayed with copper. Also got a chuckle from the uncut dash pic with no radio or speakers. My dash is in the same state right now. A radio will fill the spot but it's just not a priority right now as I'm enjoying the sound of the engine and wind.

The exhaust is a 2.5" stainless setup with a Magnaflow muffler. I had a local exhaust shop bend it up and weld in an O2 sensor bung up by the collector.

Planning a 4.6L Stroker as well.
'93 GC 4.0L, 143k miles on synthetic oil. Need to compare my parts with your list.
Do you know what you ended up with for C/R, and what octane fuel are you running?
Also, what did you use for the exhaust header?

BTW, very impressive build. :bow: Please keep us posted.

I have a parts list somewhere if you are interested or haven't started your build yet. My CR is 9.6:1, and i'm running 93 octance, but I have filled with 89 mid grade with no ill effects. I have been waiting to put some miles on it to ween it off of the high test. I am just using a stock replacement exhaust manifold with the updated flex pipes. I might go to a performance header later but it works for me for now. Let me know if you have any other questions and thanks for the comments!

Thanks Scramble! I was thinking that I'm just going to leave it naked for a while. I really like the clean look, and the Jeep never had the stripes to my knowledge. The next thing I have to decide is whether or not to paint the top brown or black!
