The center console is even the same for the transfer case shifter, just took out a piece of trim. I have always wondered what the 4.0 would do turbo. The manafold is going to be a bitch. The intake and exhaust are held down with the same bolts. I love anything different. Keep up the good work.
factory jeep exhaust routes down under the oil pan to the passenger side, so I will follow that route and bring the turbo up to the passenger side of the engine and mount it there. This also works out kinda nicely cause it keeps that hot ass turbo away from the intake manifold.

Re: I bought a new project truck (PIC)
hope you dont plan on using a stock exhaust manifold because they are peices of ----, they always crack. Its like the ssautochrome of factory manis. We use to be a jeep dealership so I've done plenty of them.

probably going to be going with something more like megasquirt, and some sort of front mount in front of the radiator, or possibly an AWIC. |

Are you sure it's the track bar? I've hit some corners pretty hard in leaf sprung trucks, with no track bars, and it's not that bad. Hell most pre runners don't use track bars. ---- fender flares! Take a sawzall to that bitch and be done with it. I mean look at your buddies truck.

As for my brother in law's comanche, his is great for what he does with it, I have my own tastes as far as what I want to do, and my truck also isn't 4 wheel drive. |

Here are the fenders for the front. I am going to have to find a bodywork guru to match the bedsides.
