I think I can do it for about a 1,000-1,500 which is a 100% guestimate(I have no clue if thats to much or not enough cause I havent priced anything out) I can get a trans for about 4-500. I know a guy that rebuilds trannys and ill have him look at it and make sure it looks ok and hope it doesnt need rebuilt. Like I said I dont know what all im going to need yet I have a pretty good idea but im sure there are somethings that im forgetting but there wont be any labor cost cause im sure as hell not letting a shop do it only cost for labor will prob if my buddy helps me with it.

Total guess, I like it. I will be looking to do a 5 speed swap if I can't find a good 5 speed.

Like I said its a guess but I think that should be right and I think it will be a good summer project I know that I will enjoy it. I drove my firends lifted wrangler 2 weeks ago its only a 4 cyl but its a 5 speed and it made me want to do the swap even more I cant wait lol

i just need to vent right now. but i got my foglight bracket fixed today. it needed a support to stop if from shaking around when i went over bumps. except its mounted from the frame to the light bracket and the screw that holds this support beam in is right above the aiming screw. and during the process of fixing it he jacked up the alignment. i thought this truck customization shop was legit. ****ing sh*tty quality work.

The most annoying thing I hate about my truck is I have replaced the top screw on my sun visor 2 times and the d*mn thing has fallen out again. I think I might just use super glue when I get another screw for it.

The one thing i hate about my truck is the fact that it has to be a magnet for the careless idiots that park next too me and just sling there fu#%in doors open leaving nice dents and scrapes , and for some reason i can park out in the middle of nowhere and yet someone still parks next too me and hits my truck.

The wiper thing bothers me too, now that you mention it. I think next time I'm gonna buy a smaller blade. Dings and dents don't bother me. I bougnt my truck to play in the woods and for driving in crappy weather. They are badges of honor. The thing about my truck that chaps my *** is the stock system. I have the Infinity system w/ aftermarket headunit. The person who owned it before me did somethin to either the amp or the speakers. They disconnected the amp and cut wires from the clip and spliced them together. I have an ext. cab and the rear speakers don't work, front speakers are partially blown. Just sounds like s**t. I have no clue on where to start to fix it though, but I will fix it someday. Also, need new power steering pump but don't know if I need 17mm or 18mm. Stupid Dodge, should be 1 size per engine size or 1 size fits all.
