VERY nice work, quite badass!
Did you bend that all yourself? Wish I could get some tube to look like that.

Are you using a stock pump assembly with that tank or what are you using to deliver the correct pressure to the engine?

I still need to finish the interior with some roll on bedliner, add a radio, a CB, and some wiring of gauges. It needs a belly skid, driveshaft loops, and a new third member since I blew up the third this past weekend, it was a standard case, so hopefully a factory N case will last until I can upgrade to a Strange case. Paint is also on the list of things to do but again it comes down to money :) Its hard modding the Jeep and being a student :D

Thanks! :cool:

I worked at Carolina Rock Shop part time for 5 years, then this past summer was full time before I moved up here. I did gear and axle work, a fair amount of motor work, general fab work and lots of custom cage work at the rock shop. I build the Jeep and had it rolling in about a month and a half working nights and weekends. Did the cage work as well with help from my dad and friends at the shop. Then over breaks this year, finished up the wiring, and detail fab work. I still have a lot more to do before its "finished" :eek:

Its a RCI 19gal cell with the Jeep factory fuel filter and a E2000 fuel pump. The factory has a fuel regulator on the rail and it maintains pressure at the fuel rail and sends excess pressure/fuel back into the tank.

I believe that the specs listed a front RC Dana44... I was thinking that same thing about the muffler.

[MrShoeBoy]

The exhaust is a Banks header, custom 2.5" downpipe, 2.5" super high flow cat ;) and a SpinTech Sportsman Series muffler. It is so obnxious loud! I need to get some more exhaust tube on the back of the muffler to hopefully quiet it down, or at least get the noise away from the cab. Just havent had time or a whole abundence of money to do this. Its loud enough to set car alarms off with just a blip of throttle :D I keep trying to make it up to the meet and greet each month, but I have class or am working.
