Hopefully you got it early enough that you didn't warp the head. Not sure how durable these heads are but I'm sure your machine shop will tell you that if he finds that to be an issue.

 

It never got hot and just started a few days ago or so and was only driven a couple of miles with the head gasket leak. Coolant is going into the cylinder and not the oil so I'm hopeful that it will go smoothly. Not sure why the head gasket went.

 

Suppose age can do that. Sounds like you will be fine and good idea to have machine shop check it out as a sanity check. Would hate to see someoen dive into the job only to replace head gasket put it back together and later find out the head is warped not allowing gasket to seal properly. Good luck keep the progress going!

 

I figure if I'm already taking the head off do as much as I can to prevent doing it again...

 

Got some pictures from my spring break trip to windrock the picture where I'm kinda sideways is where the huge mess on my rear quarter came from. When it grabbed and popped up it hit that rock behind it in the picture and turned sideways.

 

Out there by yourself? By that I mean any other drivers out there because someone obviously took your photo lol

 

My roommate and his girlfriend in her JK

 

So what your saying is girls drive JK's lol I see, and here I thought we were friends. Kidding. That's good because for a moment I was hoping you were not for your safety and well being.

Glad you had a good time at least it looks that way despite that rock rash but that is what its about.

 

For now my Cherokee runs. I think tomorrow I may try to go to the junkyard and get a bell housing for my Comanche and find a huge factory trans cooler to flush out and put in the Cherokee. Any suggestions on coolers?

 

Some pictures from this weekend

 

Also apologize if some look like they were taken with a potato

 

I was looking back through the pictures on my phone and I really wish I would've left it on 31s and clean. It used to look so nice and now it's just another beat up Cherokee.

 

Eh don't be lame go big lol. I have a couple friends that tell me the same with mine. Can easily buy a better daily if wanted.

 

Yep, full exo cage, 4 link the rear, 1 tons, 37s or bigger..... you still got a long ways to go haha. Keep the MJ close to stock and there you go. Best of both worlds.

 

Keep them MJ.... hmmmm... I don't know what to do. I don't have a vehicle in my family that is strong enough to pull my Cherokee and I'd really like a trailer too. What would make the most sense is fix up a couple of the vehicles I've gotten recently and sell those and the Comanche and get a full size truck and a car hauler.
