Badass man. I wish I had the means and skill to something like that myself. Good luck.

So I got a little bit of tear down down this afternoon. Started with ripping the t-case off of the back.
then pulled the y-pipe off of the exhaust so I could set the whole thing on the floor. From there I was able to separate the trans mission without dropping it on the floor.
After a run to the store for some bolts, I got the engine mounted on the stand and pulled all of the factory accessories.
Then I had to pick up all my toys so the jeeps would fit back in the garage.
And if it rains tomorrow I'll probably pull the heads and the oil pan for some cleaning and inspection.

Haven't taken a whole lot of pictures because I'm not sure how many people here are interested in rebuilding an LS but I got the head machines and it's prettyuch ready to go in. Only thing left is to contact motech and finish securing the funds.

Head were cut .005 and all valves lapped with new seals and then cleaned. I am planning on all Jeep accessories, with the billet brackets from motech it seems a lot easier to plumb in and it will make future mods easier to find and install. (Mostly a PSC kit)

Due to life getting in the way, I ended up selling the Jeep today. With a baby on the way and trying to finish my degree I just couldn't justify the extra vehicle any more.

Thanks all. As I told my friend yesterday, I'll finish my degree and buy another one. This is temporary.

congrats on the kid, sorry to hear you lost the Jeep. Good memories you had with it, especially memorable trip going up to Wheeler Lake. Those scrapes are testament to some good terrain. Hope to see you again.
