Hello everybody,
I will begin by presenting my Jeep GrandCherokee. It's a 1993, 4.0 Liter, with 252 000 km on it (156 500 miles) and it's still running very strong (no sh** after all the repairs and restoration$$$ I did on it).

UPDAE March 2003
4.10 gears and a rear true trac limited slip are being installed at the moment. After the break-in period, comments and evaluation of this modification will be made.

TO COME (Spring 2003):
1) Crane Cam 272/260 degree
2) New custom intake with 6" cylindrical K&N filter
3) Bore throttle body and throttle body spacer to 62mm
4) Head porting, enlarge valve to 1.97/1.56, mill to increase compression ration
5) Port match intake manifold
6) Relocation of the MAP sensor
7) Ignition upgrade (DONE)
8) Install rear Addco Sway-bar (DONE)
9) Finish sound proofing (4 doors)(DONE)

IN THE BACK OF MY MIND
Swap AX-15 manual tranny (When actual tranny dies)
New tires Bridgestone Dueler AT Revo (spring 2003)
Improve headlamps (ASAP)

SO FAR IN PROJECT BIG JEEP

The bushings did a major difference in the handling. There are couple of wannabe racers (Talon, cavalier, mustang, CIVIC, etc.) who are still amazed after I beat them in a thight turn.
