Then I plowed not one but three deer on my way back to Maryland one night. Busted my header panel and a few other things, goofed up some of my drivers I've Unibody, but jeep made it the rest of the way home.
So I fixed it and replaced it with a 96+ zj grille and header panel.

This is basically caught up. I have a lot of plans for this thing, but they'll be secret right now.
My first priority is replacing the cracked header with a new apn one
Then an 8.8 swap

Trying to get the rms and oil pan gasket done. Rms is being a pain, I ripped two and my dad bent the third.
Going to grandma's tonight for some good food and spend time with my grandfather who is going through chemotherapy. Jeep can rot at this point.

Finally got the rear main in.
Soaked it in soap for awhile and better designed my straw shoehorn. Then it went right on in. Everything is put back together and it's sound with no leaks so far.
Have a durango box to put in eventually. Hopefully I'll be able to buy an apn header soon.

Bleed all the nasty brake fluid out of the zj, and added two new front calipers. It stops on a dime now.
Also wired in a trailer brake controller.
Hoping to get some new shocks, and I'll feel somewhat comfortable with it making this tow.
