    Paperwork/legal issues with engine swap?

    Oh, I forgot to add The Rest Of The Story (tm). Once the swap is completed, you are required to take it directly to Air Quality for them to inspect and smog test. When they verify that everything is properly functional and that it passes the test, they apply some sort of supplemental decal...

    Paperwork/legal issues with engine swap?

    I can weigh in here with some insight, as I have removed the 1.6L hamster from my Miata and am in the process of replacing it with a 5.0L V8 from a Ford Mustang. :D This is good advice. Whenever I call them (801.851.7600) I always speak to Mike. He is a very friendly guy who is open to the...

    Dude, Greg felt horrible about that. Thank you for taking it in stride and not letting it ruin your night.

    No problem. I was planning to take more, but the cell phone isn't fond of night time photography. Oh, well. Thanks for moving my post into this thread. BTW: I had a fantastic time. The sheer size of the group was amazing, and everything went very smoothly. I look forward to our next...

    Oh, sure, at the same moment I started a picture thread! Can a moderator kill my thread and move the links into the other one? Or shall I just repost the pictures into the other thread myself?

    TRIP REPORT - Noob Run 3-12-11

    Rattlesnake newbie night run 3-11-11 (pics inside) My digital camera died for some reason, so I was at the mercy of my phone for pictures. All I could do was walk around and try to get photos of all the rigs while we were waiting at Chevron. I know there were some there I didn't get. Still...

    Great! And by the way, my offer of buying you gasoline still stands. I'll see you at the Chevron.

    This is a good point. I'm no professional mechanic; I'm just a dude with some tools.

    I have air power and an impact gun in my garage, and I live one mile east of the Chevron. If you'll have the time and ability to show up before 7pm, I'll be happy to lend a hand on the Sami. Are there any other special/unique tools you'll need?

    Aw, man, don't bail on us now! I was looking forward to meeting you at this event. Please do not use 'lack of gas money' as the reason for missing this event. And when I say this, I don't mean that I doubt you might be short on surplus cash--that is always a possibility. Instead, I am...

    Does he live in SS also? I ask because I think I just saw his Jeep on Pioneer Crossing earlier this week. (I remember the lack of front bumper and the right side tow hook hanging down a bit.)

    Steve- As you know, I invited my friend Marc to join us in his stock '98 TJ. He was so enthusiastic, he joined this forum (even though he hasn't posted yet). Anyway, he just called me to reconfirm his attendance. While we were talking, he said, "I have some friends with Jeeps. Can I...

    I am just like you, apparently. I've never run RS in the dark, in the snow, or with more than 4 rigs at one time. Nevertheless, I am looking forward to this event purely for the social aspect of it. (Goodness knows I've pulled enough new people into it!)

    New to off roading just wanted to say whats up

    Cool. I wasn't 100% positive since I haven't actually seen your Sami yet. Glad to have you here.

    I said I was willing to help, so I guess it's time for me to put up or shut up. ;) I'm in.

    Is that you, Drew? If so: (1) welcome to the forum, (2) I look forward to seeing you on our trail run this Friday night and (3) make sure Greg comes on the trail run, too!

    I'm trying to make up for lost time, I suppose. I joined this forum over six years ago and I've hardly done anything about it until now. I'm thinking of making some "RME4x4.COM" decals and putting them on my hood kinda where the factory puts the "Rubicon" decals. Seriously.

    Just saying hi. Been lurking for a while

    Nobody here will laugh, especially if you bring it out to the newbie night run on Friday the 11th. (I just wanted to say this before Steve did. :p)

    I presume it is. I'll have my ancient-but-trusty Uniden Pro 510XL fired up and ready.
