... half that list reads like a dream upgrade list for me. I can't wait to see it done !!

Clearly Exxon pays too much money lol.

Looking forward to your build thread


I'll be watching your for sale threads too.

Holy crap....nice list...

ditto that !

You are going to be a busy man, can't wait for pics... maybe I should ask now, are you selling any old parts?

You ain't messin' around!!!

If you want to skip the supercharger, come on by my shop and we'll drop a hemi in it.

Man I wish..... I will have to sit down and figure out the #s on the swap. what is the ballpark on it?

The LS1 is sexy too....

Figure 8-10k, depending upon the engine.

8-10K isnt as bad as I expected. Hmmmmm..... I need the D60s first but its nice to know that a swap isnt out of the question.

The old wheels/tires are gonzo already. The suspension is going on a buddies mall crawler. The rest I will be using for trail spares.

Do you work at Exxon in Baytown?

Did someone win the lottery? Good for you Ron, can't wait to take a peek at it when completed.

Sorta....

The "broke my back in the army and now am getting paid lottery"...

Awesome dood...gonna be insane 4sure!! So you said u were gettin rid of those fenders huh....?! U got my number!!
Jus figure I'd throw that out there!

so when's the install party?

Not sure, everything is here except for the River Raider stuff...

I am going to start tearing it down later this week with hopes to get the bedliner sprayed on the week of the 18th.

As far as the install goes - I met a guy at work who is big time into Zukis he has a lift and is going to let me use it while he supervises and helps with some tech. I am going to practice some welding and try and do some of it myself.... if I can trust myself enough to do it. We will see how it goes, if I fawk it up I will just grind it down and let him weld it up. I am really looking forward to it.

Cool as shit that we live just a few miles away from each other, fawker has me wanting to buy a zuki to beat up on.. not gonna happen though, I love my JK too much and I will beat on it hard enough....

Here he is wheeling one he built out at Spring Creek

i can't weld either but if you need some help turning wrenches let me know

OK thanks.

Still waiting on a few parts.

I was able to get everything torn out this weekend, what a PITA.... really.

I installed the Tuffy enclosure and I love it, it is perfect for my SWAG bins and one of the little Honda generators. I went ahead and installed the Iggie covers on the front seats and Love the way they fit and look.

Will be dropping it off for bedliner tomorrow evening.

About a half of a semester at TAMU for one of my kids in the garage....

Hopefully they will get scholarships (they have 12 years to work on one)

Ron, What material are are the Iggie's made off?
They look leather.
