Wow!!! Thats gonna be one kick ass rig! You've got a heckofa good project manager too - his rig is unbelieveable - and a pretty nice dude too.
And just as I got through cleaning the drool puddle from your Hemi swap I clicked on your website and holy crap!!!! How cool is it to be a "go-fast" boat driver - and champion at that!!! Congrats dude!
Nice little blurb about the dash..... I am working on getting mine as sweeeet as possible!
Give Jeeperz a snack for me (rescue dogs are the best - kudos for stepping up)

Man I gotta say.. I have never heard the "dash" poem and i gotta say it is definately an eye opener... we all get so caught up in the everyday worries and stress. Its a nice change and i feel like it gives you another way to look at your everyday life. .From the pics it seems if you are living everyday to the fullest! Congrats!

And now, sorry for no updates lately on the Hemi project. I've been out of town "working" and now I'm back and I get to play... This weekend we should be able to make good progress. I've received all of my parts (minus a few items) and the wife said go get it done!!!
So that's what I gonna do... I'll put up more pics later.

Best way....
So far looks great! How did you get Gerry from SL to come help you? I am considering buying the engine and tranny myself and doing but definitely would need the guidance and help for that project. Any help would be great! Thanks and good look with the final stages!

6.1l
Ben,
I am seriously considering going with 6.1L and just order the engine/tranny. How much would a new tranny cost for that? I would be doing it on my own for the most part. I have had a few e-mail conversations with Gerry, he seems very knowledgable and responds quickly so maybe I'll do it that way instead of sending the whole Jeep out. How hard has it been so far?
I look forward to seeing more pics and any tips along the way you can give me the better. Keep in touch and talk soon.
