Well in the feilds there's little patches but anywhere theirs shade its packed full. like the road to muddy-point still has about a foot and a half. Hopefully after work today i can get out to do some exploring!

More pictures! Even if it is boring as hell down here you cant complain about the veiw from the front step! And this poor old dakota belive it or not only has 80K on it. My grandfather used it just to go down and get groceries until he passed away, which was in 00' then my father used it to haul lobster and crab traps till 05 then the fuel pump quit and he just left it there. Engine is now ceased solid, frame is broken on the passenger side behind the cab, and the floors, bed, and fenders are all now swiss cheese, Such a shame. But I am thinking on taking the wheels to use as winter rims to mount my kellys onto. I'll use the kellys for winter and the kumohs for summer.

Well, my jeep started doing something odd when its cold, if i leave it idle to warm up it'll idle fine for about 10 seconds, then all of a sudden the idle will drop down to like 450-500 and sound really rumbly, as if the jeep had a gigantic cam in it, then revs back up and smooths out idles ok for about 5-10 seconds then to it again, but once i get in it and start driving for a little bit it goes away? I allready replaced the MAP sensor with a spare one but still same thing.

There is a second cam sensor in the distributor. Just throwing out ideas. Just though engine temperature sensor. da dogg

Just though engine temperature sensor. da dogg Well, the fuel filter is new, but after looking It seems my vacuum bottle is MIA :X and i cant find one at all down here. Engine temp sensor is new and so is the air intake temp sensor. Dont really wanna touch the distributor since its 2 hours to the closest napa, and they over charge like crazy. I went there one time to get a soldenoid for the starter on my chevy and they wanted $210!!

"Good news everyone!" I'm hopefully buying a really nice donor jeep soon to replace my wore out 4.0L and get some lower gears aswell. This one here I'm told was in a little fender bender and the T-case is shot.. I can pick it up off a friend for a little price and I'm told it has really low kms between 120K and 180K. plus it has a awsome roof rack. So I'm going to see if I can scrape up the money to drag it home this weekend

Looks like it would be a good donor. Hopefully the parts you need are in great shape.
