    holy speedometer batman.. Said what the hell took it out on main highway NC24 and opened it up. now my speedometer only goes to 60mph.. i pinned it?? Yaeah pinned the sucker, ran smooth no vibrations, no noises (to speak of) oil pressure great, temp 170, battery indicator in the green solid. Did I stay there, hell not, and that probably will be my only time at 60mph in a open jeep. really not that comfortable or else i am a big chicken, someof both maybe. one thing i liked is at lower speeds could actually let go of steering wheel and it tracked

    that new carb, wow great investment

    We're also getting smarter as we get older... take credit for that too.

    It's nice when you invest in something and you get an immediate and spectacular payoff from it. Congratulations.

    Tell us about Hank .... is he Jeep broken yet?

    Just think of how much you know about those brakes being able to slow you down quickly from 60. That will keep you honest!
