The head cracked on the 2000 (That came out of an 04 WJ) and you intend to put it on the 94?

I'm lost...

No no no no the ORIGINAL head cracked and was replaced with an 04. And so I can keep the mounting for the coil I'll swap the head. Keep intake and exhaust manifold

The hood actually tilts back further than you realize and has a spot for the prop rod there.

An E-12 wrench. An E-12 socket. That's about it.

Cut-off wheel.

I like taking hoods off and getting them out of the way. It takes 2 minutes to pop off and another 2 to pop back on (just scribe where the bolts were so she lines back up nice). Having the hood off throws a lot more light into where your working.

To each his own though. Good luck and have fun.

Lots of places. The bolt head is like a Torx bit is what it is. The socket goes over it. Shouldn't be hard to find at all.
