Phase III: In Work

• 6.1 Hemi install (Swapping to 5-sp Auto) AXED
• Transmission Cooler
• Dual Yellow Top Optima Batteries
• Woods Trunk
• Rear SRT-8 Bucket Seats (Heated and Powered)

UPDATE:

We have found a motor. "CAIN" will have an Aluminum Block 426 matted to a Getrag 6 Speed.

Drove the Jeep to work today. It is supposed to rain all day starting at about 8:00am. I drove in with just the fabric half doors installed. It took me 1.5 minutes to put up the top, another 2 minutes to install the side windows, and a total of 11 minutes to get it fully enclosed with the side windows and rear window down. It would be faster if my passenger side window didn't have slightly bent rods where it goes into the door. I'm sure I'll get faster as I've owned it longer. Kind of makes me want to pull the carpet and just have to put the top up and flip the rear seat forward.

On the way to work I stopped by a new Sonic Restaurant and got the breakfast burrito. With a little salsa it was amazing. Much better than anything I've had from McD, BK ,etc. It actually had flavor.

You know when you buy an older model jeep that you are going to invest your life savings into them. You beat on them, they break, you fix and repeat. Well I bought my 97 WAY under market value last summer because lets face it, she was a fixer upper.

Tragically last week I was on a 2 lane highway, stopped while I waited for oncoming traffic to pass so I could turn left onto my street when CRUNCH!!! some idiot who wasnt paying any attention at all, slammed into my back end. The insurance company has informed me that due to the age of the vehicle it will likely be scrapped. Which is probably for the best, except that in the 10 days leading up the accident I put new break lines on the front, a new soft top and a new $180 tire because I had blown one out offroading. Ya thats right about $1000 into a vehicle that ended up being totalled.

The bright side to this, is whoever thinks jeeps aren't safe, is SOO wrong. That guy slammed into me doing at least 40mph (60km/h) in a dodge ram. The jeep is still drivable, but I cant put any fuel in becase that whole drivers side rear corner is a crumpled mess. I didn't suffer any whiplash or anything.

Anyone who knows of an exceptionally well priced 97TJ in the Vancouver/Seattle area... Get in touch with me, hopefully the insurance company will pay me out dividens.

Im totally stumped on how to turn off my security alarm in my 93 grand cherokee, I switched my driver door about 3 months ago and had the same problem once already, I locked and unlocked the back hatch thre times and it worked.. that time. now I have no idea what else to do..

I called my father today to wish him happy fathers day, and he asked me "how are you doing son"
I replied "Oh im fine dad" I think he could hear the pain in my voice because he said "how are you really doing son" And I told him that I had some issues going on in my life, and I explained what they were. He decided to read from scripture to me. At first I thought "Oh great" because honestly I have never been reached by scripture, but this is what he read psalm 91 which was in the previous Blog and psalm 27:Psalm 27 (New International Version)

Psalm 27
Of David.
1 The LORD is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When evil men advance against me
to devour my flesh, [a]
when my enemies and my foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall.

3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then will I be confident.

4 One thing I ask of the LORD,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.

5 For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle
and set me high upon a rock.

6 Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the LORD.

7 Hear my voice when I call, O LORD;
be merciful to me and answer me.

8 My heart says of you, "Seek his [b] face!"
Your face, LORD, I will seek.

9 Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
O God my Savior.

10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
the LORD will receive me.

11 Teach me your way, O LORD;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.

12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
breathing out violence.

13 I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.

14 Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.
As he was reading I asked him what the psalms were because I was having trouble following along.
He told me and i looked them up. So I read while he spoke. And I understood

I realized two things then. One that I can understand things when I hear them and see them at the same time and two that This is how I should live my life

Psalm 91 (New International Version)

Psalm 91
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. [a]

2 I will say [b] of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."

3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.

4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,

6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.

8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you make the Most High your dwelling—
even the LORD, who is my refuge-

10 then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;

12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."

My buddy Rick had a tough day out at Johnson Valley near the King of the Hammers area. Really
he had very little damage, small kink in the left front fender and the plastic flare popped
back into place an hour later. If you are looking for some tough four wheeling you have to try Johnson Valley. Just loads of trouble to get into!! Much fun and will test you quick!
