The story on the engine:
My original mill had some lifter clatter that I ignored for 15k miles.
I drove to see my dad in Traverse City twice a year from Toledo.
Thing ran like a champ but after replacing a leaky radiator I started
having cooling issues.

I decided to sell the Jeep to a buddy. He ended up scoring a nice ZJ instead.
When he did he called me up and asked if I wanted the 4.0 crate motor he
was saving for an XJ purchase. He works a at a dealership and he bought it
in 2010 when the dealer mistakenly ordered it for a blown up Grand Cherokee.
He let me look inside with the borescope and even helped with the install.
He's been a Jeep mechanic for 10 years. Ive swapped many Ford engines so
between us I feel great about this install. The engine timing and tune were
set with a Mopar Scan tool. I have put 6000 reliable miles on this thing with 0 problems.

Its been on the 620 mile round trip to Traverse Citry 3x since the swap.

On to the pics:

Looks like an awesome Jeep. I just noticed you mentioned Traverse City in your post. You from there?
