The Rocket is sold.

It was, and still is an HO. OBD-I is, in my opinion, the best fuel management for a stroker in a Jeep. It has the right sensors and adaptability to fuel the motor on it's on (Oh yeah, it has 24lb ford injectors), but doesn't cause problems like the OBD-II does. Further tuning can be done with an...

Block and trans are $3000 and come attached to an XJ. The Jeep isn't with me to deal with parting out, nor do I want to do that right now.

Yeah the XJ is listed for $3k plus incentive to have work done with Tyler. The F350 will be listed around $18k. That would get rid of all my debt and provide enough to buy a cheap project. I wish it could be a XJ/MJ but most likely I will wind up with a Toyota (4x4 manual is a must, and most...

Oh hey guys... long time no see. Quick update... still on the west coast. Class is currently kicking my rear end. I still don't know where I'm going after here. My F350 is currently racking up a substantial bill at the shop for 6.0L repairs and bulletproofing, which has me evaluating a lot of...

Guys, I am coming to a harsh reality that my days with the Red Rocket are over. I have no foreseeable timeline for finishing my ideal build, or even when I will get to use the Jeep again. On top of that the tow pig I bought to haul the Rocket is starting to cost me a small fortune, so I think...

It's a Ford thing. Had one of them bastards on a Tempo I used to work on. "fuel pump inertia switch" it's supposed to be set off when the car is bumped hard enough to prevent leakage/fire and such. Most are in the trunk. Stupid things are easy to set off. Setting the car down off the floor jack...

Try doing a Chevy 2500 Duramax with 200k on the original ball joints. The one stubborn joint took several hours and sounded like a gunshot when it finally let go. Along with copious amounts of heat and penetrating oil, I had graduated to a 10 ft cheater bar.

Until Doug and Tyler got looking at the MJ I had planned on making it a DD and weekend warrior. The rust became an issue and I wound up with the tow pig. Now that I DD that, I don't think I could ever go back. The luxuries have spoiled me. The XJ hasn't been tagged for several years now and I...

Hey those fancy DRW double enders break the bank! I want Melkor's super duper digital inflator. Man all these years and we Jeepers can't get it right, Ford knows best. Knock on wood I have yet to feel anything in mine, but I put new front tires and alignment on it right after purchase. My...

I found this pretty entertaining. Once Ford learned of my truck purchase, they feel the need to send me a letter explaining death wobble.

Yeah you too! Happy Birthday bud.

Thanks yall! I guess my Jeep related birthday "gift" is finally selling the MJ, which means the Rocket can get some love from Tyler.
