First things were I sold the hard top, and tore into it to figure out why it liked to die at every. single. stop.


Determined it was something to do with the idle circuit in the carb, so rather than screw with the Carter BBD, I bought a rebuilt Motorcraft 2150 off of eBay and slapped it on. Instant improvement.


Also did a little horse trading and swapped a pair of old FSJ rims for a set of 5 33x12.50 TSLs that all had varying stages of wear from bald to basically new. Hell of a lot better than Chinese ATs. Also cut off the stupid home made brush guard, and bolted on an LED light bar courtesy of the TAMOR group buy.






And pretty much just rolled with the Jeep like this for the next year, camping, fishing, etc. Good times were had. Only other major upgrade was the TFI swap, which I have no pictures of.


After a fairly decent bonus early this year I bought a bunch of new parts for the Jeep, including a new "painless" harness. And the teardown begun...
