Default I must say thanks to the Dakota

...for ever existing with a 4.7 and a 5-speed! It gave me the possibility to hunt down some of the parts needed to complete the 5-speed swap in my Grand Cherokee haha. Yes, it was completely ridiculous and a TON of work, but it's all done!

I've only had it drivin for a few days now, since the swap (and head rebuild) but it's damn fun!

Jeeps are the easiest thing to align. there is a bar under the front end that is just for adjusting the steering wheel. once the toe is set, simply twist the bar till the wheel is straight... perfect every time. O and nice job running the stop sign.

Is it me or is your speedometer not moving? Looks like you may not have gotten all the computer bugs worked out yet!

Still cool though.

Haha thanks guys!

Josh, the steering wheel is off because it's just out of adjustment right now :P

Bpark, I think the shifter suits the rest of the vehicle lol!
Here it was before my latest round of modifications


Crate, it just needs to happen lol.

95, I'm actually still rocking the grand cherokee computer for the very short time being, but the speedometer was run off the ABS tone rings on the factory axles, but i've replaced them and don't have the ABS anymore hence...no more speedo (for now!)

^ DANG! Looks like someone needs limit straps!

Got any info on that SAS? I'm working on one right now on my Dakota... custom 3 link front with a track bar.
