My intake is up front now... ;-)
Thanks. My wife took that picture. :-) See that Jeep in the
background? That's the CJ-8 that my friend has...the one who helped
me keep from rolling my Jeep. Tomorrow I'm going over to his house
and he's gonna help me put a body lift on my Jeep, then we're gonna go
offroading... Or at least that's the plan. I hope we have enough
time. I'm gonna bring my camera so I'll take plenty o' pictures. He
says there's a mudhole near his house that will swallow my Jeep. We
(my Jeep and I) are laughing at it right now. ;-) "Let's rock."
