The GEMS is only 2 steps removed from a carburetor.
For ~$1500 you could dump your fuel injection and go that route.
It would be even easier/cost less on one with a distributor.

My rant is that chick's dig Rovers, I cant go anywhere without women oohing and awing all over my truck, I mean it really really sucks.
All I want is to go to Gander Mountain and look at guns and all they want to do is shove their mammoth melons in my window and take a peak inside.
How the hell can I make a payment on my AR-15 thats on layaway with jugs in my face?

Another rant of mine is the lack of a cocoa dispenser...
Agreed, and maybe a mini fireplace to make smores? I'm sure we can hook a vent to the exhaust...someway. haha

Haha, I don't call them jeeps though. Hummer Juniors sounds better.

Love my rover. But she is a fickle B**ch! Always wants more.

If you can believe it, NOW she wants:

-Suspension lift
-Bluetooth enabled stereo
-removeable subwoofer box
-windshield (With Gaskets!!)
-Head gaskets and valley pan gasket
-Headlights
-Front corner lights (clear!)
-Front Offroad Bumper (With Winch!! WITH WINCH!!)
-Rust removed from alpine window area
-Cross drilled and slotted Rotors with pads all the way around

I mean COME ON! I am but 1 man!!

FYI - Dap has the clear corners. If you want clear side markers, just get the stock clear one's from a P-38. The are waaaay less than the one's people sell for the discoverys and they look the same.

Also, I would suggest dimpled over cross drilled. They don't get packed with mud or sand..
