The Thermostat got stuck closed and the water pump went then i guess that caused the head to crack.

New part list

Radiator hoses
Heater hoses
Thermostat
water pump
Cylinder head
head gasket
Intake/exhaust gasket
Vavoline High milage oil
Peak antifreeze
idler pulley
head bolts
valve cover gasket
and painted the valve cover and thermostat housing for some extra horses

Also inspected the bottom end and it looks amazing for its age so she should run like a top after this.

I've been super busy these days luckly i will be off from school after this week so I plan to work on the Jeep quite a bit heres my list of things to do.

Get JCR light bar on
KC daylights on lightbar
Fab up some back up lamp roof brackets and install the lights
Cut the front fenders a bit more
Finish bedlining the rear quarters
Maybe get a CB radio/antenna
Get some rubber floor mats
finally get the thing tuned at the dealership (only they can do this cause they must use there chrysler scan tool)

There amazing tires, they do pretty well in deep mud, great road manners, no sand yet, and on snow they excel. There a great tire def. worth looking into.

Thanks man they look good for what I wanted (road, sand, mud, and snow). They are the best price I found for a fairly agressive All Terrian. Thanks
