I'd get rid of my newer truck in a heart beat for something like that. Now days everything is electronic/computer controlled. However, the tbi you plan on putting on yours will be a great upgrade and give better hp and fuel efficiency. You are doing some great work there. Thanks for sharing...

My cousin is the type that could fall in a barrel of azz and come out with a vagina. He puts an add on craigs list for something or another and has sale or trade and some dude calls and says I got a jeep truck I'll trade ya. My cousin won't sale it. Love them things.

Liked a lot about it but with the 360 V8 and full time 4X4 it got about 6-8 mpg. Best I ever did was 11 mpg on a road trip. Most people don't really want the truth. They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

Bought it to pull his boat with, then they got a double axle RV a few years later. Pulled it fine, unc said he couldn't afford the fuel, so it went in favor of a Ford station wagon. He liked the station wagon until the first big snow storm of the year. Last J10 I've seen in these parts belongs to a friend's son that just graduated from college a year or two ago. Think he still has it, not sure. Stock, other than a mild lift and a new paint job. Red, like it oughta be. If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.
