My girlfriend had a WJ and she loved it. She got in an accident and it had to go. Now she has been driving a XJ since. She said if I get her WJ, I can keep the XJ lol

Hell yeah man! Hell, there is a guy from MD that had a 440 with spray in an xj. He used to go to Cecil County dragway. And was on the show Pinks a few times.
That would be badass if you did that to the Daytona!

Not my current one, would get another shell. Want to stay small block though for the weight, as much as I would love a 440 in it, I think a 318 or 360 with 2 turbos would have me pretty fast, do some unibody stiffening and I'd almost guarantee it pulls the front wheels up.

Just painted with normal oil based paint, hand painted every panel and sprayed the bolts.

Picked it up from JeepForum

When i started up the jeep and kept it running by pressing on throttle cable I can tell it's running rough... Probably at least two spark plugs are fouled. I'm wondering if there's any quick patches to put on so I can drive the jeep home?

I checked the oil and there's no signs of water being mixed. Or is that too risky. I guess I'm trying to avoid a tow

Would my cherokee be able to tow other cherokee on a trailer without any problems?

Take a toolkit when you go up there and pull the plugs and see what they look like, if that's what you suspect. Wire brush and brake parts cleaner and you can clean em off.
