02.20.04 Stage 1 is here and installed! When I couldn't get total
cooperation out of my local dealer I contacted Tommy at Haynes Jeep in Richmond,
Virginia. Yeah, I know, he's on the other side of the country, but he's a
really cool guy and convinced me that I could install this thing myself.
Huh, who knew? Turns out he was right, and I had it in and running in
about 45 minutes. Pictures? C'mon, it's just a black box with some
cooling fins on the back and four big plugs on the front. But I can break
the front tires loose from a 20mph roll now, which is pretty freakin' cool if
you ask me! Of course I have to run 91 octane in her now, and with the
price of gas in California these days....ouch! Not to mention I'll need to
replace front tires at an alarming rate if I don't keep my size 12's out of it!
Such is the price for fun.
