Does anyone else have an irrational fear of dropping a tool across the battery terminals and having the Jeep blow up as a result?
What did you do to your TJ today?

I have a 9/16 wrench with 2 welding divots on it from dropping it on the battery in my Fairlane
The one above it actually means more to me, but I'm also a Jeep noob so lack street cred...
And how much is Red McCombs paying you for all the free advertising they get here?
Red is dead. His grandson seems to be running the show, now. It is primarily a Ford dealership, although today he has 32 used Jeep vehicles on the lot, no TJs. He was quite the local personality and gave a way a lot of his loot to local schools, parks, etc. He owned the SA Spurs for a few years, as well as the Denver Nuggets and Minn Vikings. https://www.texastribune.org/2023/02/20/red-mccombs-texas-dies/
More than a few! I've been thinking about picking up a set for my '97.

Didn't do much just making things look pretty here and there
Like the characters on the intake
Don't worry about the scuffs I gotta sand it down for clear anyways
After clear i'll start laying down gold thermal tape under the manifold

Even the “CHUNYANG” part?
Yes....Even the "CHUYANG"........even that
I knew i was gonna get shit on for that but i also dont wanna hear the possibilty of "wHy DidNt yOu SaNdOuT alL tHeE lEtTerS iNcLuDiNg tHeE CHUYANG"
cant make no one happy damn it Hehe i like that, keeps me happy
I really wanted to ground it down but i dont wanna deal with making it look like nothing was there as far as making it look like cast and not make it look like someone went in with a grinder and paint.....after all i was only supposed to replace a part which it lead to all this mess, So doing all that is above my paygrade
as far as the intake stuff goes
No i just don't do that cause i am perfect and everything goes to plan and nothing ever fails
....Yeah no i fear that sometimes but i just proceed with caution ! I have shorted my jeep out a bit, Happened when i was doing donuts at Bridgeport no swaybar and i forgot my battery didnt have a tiedown and WHAM arc'd out on my fender, a can of Pb Blaster i had has since solved my problem by spacing the battery out
......from that my Jeep's dash lights dim/flicker for a sec here and there when i drive

Frieburger needs to make a 6cyl firing order shirt.
Amen
Yeah he only has the 4-7 swap shirts
i know he is a bit of a Tj guy himself so i ask myself that question but i guess there ain't enough demand for that

You know your history Grasshopper.
Yeah i may be 19 but i sorta grewup with hotrod magazine and that sort of stuff
Mainly cause i snatched the magazines and Cd's every now and then from my buddies dad
I returned them of course but yeah, Good timesNowdays you gotta pay to see the stuff on your phone now
in which i don't\Edit- i didn't grow up with hotrod magazine but rather i grew up seeing that stuff !
Currently installing the DEI Fuel Rail shield. Started this project at around 3 hours ago... about 3 minutes in, broke a CCV elbow... so it turned into a valve cover removal and gasket change. Plus new CCV elbows. Also broke the injector wiring cover, so that's cool. I'll be ordering the billet one, I guess. Finally getting started on the *original* project now. Yeehaw!
The injector wiring harness cover. Maybe just engine harness cover. Idk. It looks neat though! Mine is shattered and I don't see the point in putting another plastic one on.
NCM Billet EFI wiring cover
Ooooo thats pretty
sadly i dont think i can use none of that since im gonna be running ARP head studs
i'll find a way !
Why don't we make WTF forum shirt with the firing order?
And a bunch of other useful stuff...normal fuel pressure for one...
