Project: "She-J"

Jeeps are an addiction. I guess if you have to be addicted to something, let it be your vehicle! I have owned this Jeep since 1994, and I have truly fallen in love with it.  I am also proud to be the only girl I know who drives a modified Jeep, and I don't mean just silly appearance mods, but true mechanical modifications.  I'm also proud to say that I worked on them all, they have not been done by a professional mechanic! My Jeep is generally used to and from work with the occasional romp around the woods in Northern Arizona.

So, with that said let me tell you my immediate goals for my Sahara.  In the next few months I hope to be installing a Mopar EFI kit, along with larger wheels and tires. I am tired of my gas guzzling carburetor clunking out on me just about once a year. The new EFI system should eliminate all the hassles of my obnoxious carb. I am really excited about the prospect of being able to pass people on the freeway, instead of being passed by everyone, including Yugos! The larger wheels and tires will allow just a little more clearance while I'm off road.
