Can't believe you're bailing on the Heep after all that went into it. Hope it works out for you. I hate to do it, but the drivetrain alone in the CJ is worth more than my YJ... Not to mention, the YJ will goto a good home if the deal goes through...I'll post the details and what happened tomorrow night.

Well, as you guessed it...Sniper is still DOA....However, if the chips fall into place, I'll have a kick ass rig by this time tomorrow. Basic specs are as follows.. 1955 Jeep Cj5 Chevy V6 Motor, Griffin Aluminum Radiator, Adjustable Brake Booster 40" Military Tires on 17" Aluminum Rims Ford 9" Rear / D44 Front 5.13 Gears Spooled Front & Rear Locking Hubs On The Front SOA +3" Springs QUarter Eliptical Springs Front & Rear Dual Battery Warn 8274 Hydraulic Assist Steering On Board Air etc.etc.etc.... If things go the way I am hoping, Sniper will be sold very soon. I'll get it running first, so if anyone is interested in my YJ, it may become available. Awesome jeep James.Chevy power.Looks like a mean machine.Is it street legal?If not you going to trailer it to the trail heads.It seems sad to get rid of your yj with all the work you put into it and history you have with it.,but i understand trading up. Yep street legal and daily drivable if I had to, but it tops out at 65 - 70 due to the 5.13's and the muncie 4 speed with the granny gear

Well, as I'm sure everyone is aware...Sniper no longer belongs to me. It was sold to Christine & Ty who graciously bought it from me so I had the money to purchase Ironhead. I'll be helping them revive the YJ and you'll still be seeing it on runs, but I was simply too tired of fooling with it, and they have a bit more patience and money than I do.... Now, I'm going to go start a new thread in Members Rigs to introduce Ironhead...
