Jeep 4.0 in 69 Barracuda

Touche!

I see your point, and I've shared company with many a Jeep enthusiast over the past almost 25 years-I harbor no ill will toward any of them, and fully respect them for being hard headed or even contrary...it goes with the territory. I can't recall how many times I bled on friends' Jeeps trying to keep them in running condition (or modifying them) and ready for the next off road adventure; and no, not mall crawlers--buried over the axles in mud muck and unidentifiables flowing around your feet hoping you didn't just suck water, dragging others out of the same said muck, navigating places where angels fear to tread, spending hours cleaning and reservicing axles, t-cases, and zerk fittings to make sure you didn't ruin something (learned the hard way)

Don't feel bad about it--there are at least a dozen other resto threads more than 30 pages long that have 2-3 page stints where the content goes off topic...besides, if they don't like it, mice have scrollers for a reason.

OK-now that that's out--great news on the house, always a good feeling when you start signing papers and seeing stuff with your name on it!
