Oh yeah, it sure is. Luckily it was a short drive of only about 8 miles or so. Kept it below 30.



UPDATE:

Both vehicles in the yard. I actually but the vehicle with the good body/frame in the garage, and PB blasted the donor vehicle in every single spot i thought I might touch. Im going to let it soak overnight, hit it again in the morning, then hopefully start to remove the driveline.

I have decided to remove the 4x4 Engine, diff, transmission, xfer case, driveshaft and related components first-I may leave the engine/trans hanging in the vehicle so its not exposed to rain (should it happen to rain in the desert) until I remove the drivetrain from the automatic. Reason being is that I think it will be most difficult to do it, and with winter approaching (insert winter is coming meme here) and it being outside, I want to get as much work done as I can.

I plan to stop at home depot before tear down and grab some plywood and tarp to go under the vehicle while I work. If i decide to pull all the parts, theyll go on some plywood too with a tarp protecting them from the elements.

The engine/trans in the vehicle il be swapping into is in pretty good shape, but with 305k miles its got to be a little tired. Driving over the pass today was very difficult and I had several check engine lights for misfires in cylinders 1,2,3. I would like to try and get the problem diagnosed down to a part (I.E. coil pack) so that if I sell it, I can tell the new owner of the engine what to expect. Il also run a quick compression test before removing.

Here are some photos...you can see which one is the donor vehicle and which one is the keeper!
