So been a while, completely forgot about this post... Now that I am in the military I've moved around now located in goosebay Labrador and the cj8 has evolved.... now running 36tsl and now in the process of swapping in a 5.3ls that I am running with a Carb setup...

I sort of had an idea you were in the military, being Petawawa.

A lot guys buy stuff, get moved to a new post, and suddenly sell their projects, especially snowmobiles!

Tells me you really like the Jeep, which is looking good!

So, overall, is it a reliable machine or a money pit?

So honestly the jeep self was kinda bum rushed built when I was in petawawa as a FU to one of my exs who thought she try to stop me and my buddys from going to a jeep rally in Victoria ville quebec by stealing/hidding vital parts of the jeep.. un fortunitly sinc the jeep it self hadnt been on the road for so long, on our way to victo when we got to Montreal the rear axle decided to call quits... but apart from that and the junkyard 4L with u know history that eventually died after 3 years of abuse it's been a pretty decent jeep.
