This jeep gonna run my bank empty!! I guess that's what happened when you buy a jeep? Lol
Picked up a new muffler, and some spray bedliner to redo the tan **** they put on. Gonna get the exhaust finished then do that idk of i can do that today or not though. I got a thrush turbo curious to see what it sounds like lol

And also found out the rough idle problem it was the O2 sensor I hadn't plugged back up that goes before the cat becuase that's the one that actually will adjust the fuel mixture so I plugged that up and runs great now

Didn't have welding wire so decided to do my front bumper and grille with some spray bedliner and it looks great I think

Got my exhaust finished and welded up. Sounds pretty good I think and sits up high and out of the way. It's a small thrush turbo muffler and it's about what I wanted so sweet here's pics. And also the new harness I had to make for the front O2 sensor because it was farther down on the new pipe then the old

Got it on the road. Paid a quarter of what I bought it for to get a tag. Lol going to holopaw this weekend so I plan to get some pics. Oh and it drives good on the highway

The head head gasket went out... Was in low spinning 2000 rpm and it just poped. I was like wtf! I mean it could have happened anywhere but it was at holopaw so I had a tow truck tow it back to my house. $250! Damn. Well now I have the chance to check out the cylinders and stuff.
Also found out I have a chyser 8.25 rear end. Already knew I had the high pinion fans 30 in front but didn't know what the rear was

Got it cleaned after holopaw and took rear bumper off, gonna be replacing it sometime, and there's my bros 96 that were going to be turning into 4x4 in the next year. Head gasket set is on its way so hopefully this weekend it will be running again.



Here's a pic of the holopaw trip of my friends on his JK with a YJ seat lol

Tierod painted and cleaned intake plan on doing a little more this weekend. Work and school got me busyyyy. And how the engine bay looks as of now I'm gonna clean it up while its torn down.

Crocdocs

Did the front and rear covers. Should last awhile but the rear was pretty rusty. So hopefully I'll get replacements sometime that are built strong like the solid ones or something
Ideas? Oh and there blue cuz I think I'm gonna paint the jeep blue at some point

Looking good man

Crocdocs

Thanks and I feel special your first post was on my thread lol.
Well the previous owner cut the fenders but on the rear did it exactly how your not supposed to. They are rusty at the bottom so I think I will cut rear quarters. Then cut and fold and weld the rest so it's correct and adds some strength back.



And also going to be bed lining some of the rear interior panels today including the package tray. Foam comes off super easy with wire brush

Crocdocs

Sent the head to the machine shop... Hopefully this weekend I can put it on. I want to drive it I only drove it for three days and I instantly fell in love lol. Got the package tray bedlined tho here's a pic of that

Don't mind the solos lol

Got my head back from machine shop. All was good expect was super warped. Guy said it had been overheated a bunch of times which makes sense cuz when I bought it owner said new radiator, thermostat and such. Chasing a hearing problem. But hopefully will be able to get it on this weekend. Also got some injectors to try
