Thanks. Yeah, getting more driving in, but still making changes. Swapped out the racing buckets for new CJ5 black buckets. Way more padding, so it's really comfortable driving now. Lowbacks, so easy to access behind the seats now. Harnesses are now hooked to the rollbar, so they work better too.

Also got rid of my rubber hose fuel line at the engine. Took it all off and flared up some aluminum lines, and plumbed in a "RICHIES" fuel block that looks pretty cool. Changed out my power valves to eliminate the gas smell at idle. New cam has too little vacuum, so I needed lower vacuum PV's. Went to 5.0 PV and cleaned the idle right up.

Friend took this little video at the local monthly get together a couple weeks ago. Just a short run up the street, nothing crazy:
