I've ordered some 4-hole fuel injectors, stock ones only have one hole. I've also removed the roof rack and I'm in the middle of fabricated a new one that will feature removable cross bars. It might make a difference, it might not, but it's cooler looking! So that counts.. Also, stick welding thin-wall galvanized steel is a terrible beginner's project! Pics coming soon

Good find! I'll consider it, but I have a feeling that the TDI diesel would be the better engine. In either case I would want to replace the auto trans I have now as it sucks too much power. It looks like if I go with the Liberty engine I'll need the liberty motor, but I think if I go with the TDI motor I can find an XJ manual trans to swap in there (AX-15 I believe).

But TBH an angine/trans swap isn't in the plans at the moment.
