little update.. lets just say im not watching football tomorrow. I have a buddy coming over early and we are going to try and bang out most of the swap so I can get it done and move on to the next part of the list. plan is to have it back up and running for this summer so I can attend some of the fun naxja events that take place.

I thought you had a roll cage

Yeah I started on a cage but took it off for now sense it was all tacked welded it was easy to break off. I want to get the motor done and i have a few other things on the list that should come before the cage. soon as i start knocking more things off the list ill finish up the cage.

Looks good man. Can't wait to see it back on the trails!

What are the specs on that motor? Years and miles. Unless I missed that.

I got the motor from another member here thanks to David, came out of a 89 Comanche with 160x on it.. picked it up complete with trans,so now I have a back up trans and few extra parts now.. I cant wait to get it all connected and back together.
