I don't own it, I sold it to my wife's brother. But I've been the one working on it.
Tyler lab (black xj with silver quarter panel) and his brother got the engine to fire.
Chinn and I pulled out the rear axle.
My brother in law and I put the new axle in.
Now we've been doing little things to get it road legal.
Which I hope is done Saturday

I haven't even put my Jeep together yet.
But yea I wouldn't mind moving back to be near my Jeep friends. If I could get a job in a fab shop down there maybe but moving is kinda out of the question right now.
You staying in that area Matt?

Freeze Plug?
Turned out to be a freeze/welsh plug on rear of block. The coolant would leak into bellhousing and drip if left sitting for 2 days. If I drove it everyday the coolant would evaporate or something and would not drip.

I'll have to look into that.
Though mine never leaks (well no evidence of it leaking)

Missing coolant
^ I don't know where else it could go. To rule out the rear freeze plug, let it sit overnight, remove the inspection plate on bellhousing and have a look for signs of coolant . The bottom of the housing allows fluids to pool up.
