Good point on the carb. Especially for a new driver. Any idea what year Jeep switched over?

The wife put the kibosh on this one anyway. She says it's too soon, she's probably right.

Well we have an old 97 Blazer that he's driving around the farm right now. So I think that's what she's thinking. But good to know on the 95 and newer. I'm thinking a YJ is probably about the right amount of power for him, that or a TJ SE.

I am struggling to find someone to weld these damned Control Arm brackets on!!! I wish I had the tools/experience to just do it already. I know my front axle is out of alignment because the left side bracket is bent more than the right. The off-road shop I contacted that's close to my house said he'd do it but had something else to finish first, that was Monday of last week. LOL.

I don't think that the 4.0 is anything to worry about him getting in trouble with. LOL.

Wait, if you here her I would help too. I guess it would depend on who her was.
