Nate and Thomas, im glad you guys spoke up. I was wanting to ask your guys opinon on the jeep when we get more serious about it. We just liked it cause it is 4x4 and has plenty of room to keep our stuff dry. And the price seemed reasonable too. Ok back to Travis's making it right thread haha. One weekend for all that! Make sure to takes pics for us.

Yup, turbo before injectors. The soul purpose of this truck's existence in my possession is simply for me to drive to work and pull trailers, meanwhile my OBS gets to take a break while I build it into something that I've wanted it to be for such a long time.

So, even though I may end up throwing the whole shelf of parts at this truck, that's not the goal. I simply want it to be tolerable for me to pull my race truck with. If I can achieve that with a 38r or S362 FMW and the stock ADs, awesome. I'll wait to do injectors until it needs them or I need to change glowplugs. Lol

Brad, I wish any of my trucks looked nearly as good as your OBS trucks or your Lightning. Lol

My sister-in-law had a CRD. I loved that thing. Its the only jeep I would ever own. It was getting 28 mpg if thats a big concern for you.

That is one Chrysler product I would actually consider owning. The sad thing is that they're really rare around here. I only know one guy that has one. All the rest are the total JUNK "Powertech" V-6's.

You need to make it a reliable tow rig so you can tow your race truck to RRE next year with it.

I may or may not be ordering some stuff for the OBS Friday when I get paid. Maybe some stuff from Dynatrac, Energy, Yukon, and Detroit.

Sounds like you need the muffler off my new truck! LOL. This thing is really quiet. I don't know if I'm just too used to my old noise cannon in the bed or if this thing really is just barely a touch louder than stock

Nate, I mighta just gotten a raise on Monday. LOL

I know you work for a utility company Travis, but what exactly do you do?
