Random thing to point out if you didn't notice already. Your roof rack is off a newer style XJ, I think it is from a 97+. You might wanna see how good it is sealed by spraying some water at it.

 

No leaks at all and I didn't know what it came off of but knew it wasn't stock and we had hella rain lastnight and I drove 30mins in it and no leaks

 

Ok well haven't got tires mounted yet I've been busy with work and working on a side project with a friend of mine ill post pics of that later but anyways ill have the tires put on tomorrow it will be nice not to be a low rider in the rear anymore lmao but I got some carb cleaner and an air filter and my god the difference that it made no more sputtering under acceleration have to work on extracting my exhaust bolt it snapped when I had to take it apart to drop the oil pan but its a slow progress but its getting there...well found a rebuilt 2.8 zero miles 3 year unlimited mile warranty for 600 $ I plan on picking this up also a trans to have rebuilt going to rebuild the dana 35 also I know ill have some haters for keeping the 2.8 but I'm keeping it original as possible but I'm doing full bolt ons/exhaust and it should be plenty good for what I'm trying to accomplish ill post a few pics in a min thanks for reading also fixing the girlfriends car because she was being stupid and decided texting and driving was ok have to rip the front end of along with the core support and throw it back together

 

 

Ok got the tires put on nothing special just some 215x70x15 I picked up for free looks a ton better and I am no longer a low rider in the back lol

 

well no update for the jeep other then a zombie magnet i got today and snapped a few pick for yall of the jeep and a little of what i was working on today






Then a trip to get some new parts for the *****clipse New Rad support pass side fender and headlight and front bumper still need to grab a hood but ill deal with that tomorrow..

Now time to tare it down...wasnt all that bad had a few snaggs but that was mostly due to the damage from the wreck but im trying to have this done before thanksgiving for her..

My tool of choice for taking the rad support off

still have to finish taking the core support off kinda a pain in the ***...any pointers on taking these things off

 

Not to much of an update been driving her more then anything but I gave the windows a good cleaning and cleaned the hatch area and managed to get my temp radio in so nice to have music I also have quick disconnects for the speakers think ahead for them dorless days

 

Took her out on some trails with some friends did very well pulled out a few buddys but never got stuck kinda surprised me that she did so well and all that broke was a gas tank strap that i replaced the same day but onto the pics

lol this guy had to pose for every picture that was taken






then i decided that she was to ugly to look at so i thought it would be a good time to start my painting project didnt really tape anything off at all but looks way better then before IMO going to rhino line the bottom half



Thanks for looking

 

Update:got my hands on some parts for the jeep got a front grill another running light to replace the broken one,I got a tail light to replace the one that was broke,a antenna, new cluster that has a rpm gauge and actual gauges for everything not stupid lights and i can also see how fast i am going now also replace the temp control unit all the tabs where broken on mine and got the cluster trim and the cig lighter Chilton manual and stock lug wrench all for 40$ so thought i did pretty well anyways here are the pic enjoy

Man I've experienced the 2.8 in my S10, get a 3.4L out of a 1993-1995 Camaro, throw on your intake/carb and it'll all bolt right in
