First vehicle / daily driver wheeler

Appreciate the response, and sorry for the delayed one. I talked to a local guy who recently finished his lj build on prorock 60's with 5.38s on a 40" trep. He said it's definitely slow off the line but cruises nice and stays in a good rpm range. With the 5.13s, he said it may not be great, just as you mentioned. I will definitely have to meet up with him one day and see the performance firsthand. By then he'll have some mpg info as well, not a DD but takes it to work once a week and is a decent ways away.

With that being said, once I take a look I will have a better understanding of how much of a dog it'll be and go from there. If I had to regear and do a selectable then I'd be able to have my first choice axles as well... lots to think about!
 
The ongoing battle of no heat has come to an end (y). When I first bought my jeep I had no clue what I was doing. I had a shop install a heater core (spectra brand) and have not had heat for a little over 2 years now. Tested everything, flushed the coolant, and did any little thing you could think of. I thought it had to be a faulty heater core. To make a long story short, the heater core that was installed blew up on me and I knew I had to do something. Got a performance radiator brand core, just installed it 2 days ago and boy do I finally have heat!

Unfortunately with the dash removal I smacked my windshield and received a nice crack, the trade-off, a cracked windshield for some heat on those -40 mornings is 100% worth it LOL. For about 5 hrs of work, and my first heater core job, I am very pleased!
