I am jealous. Love it though. I want a Wrangler too someday.

YJ threw a rod straight down into the oil pan on the way to that M&G Friday. Just got the call from the shop today with the diagnosis. There were no warning signs; just bad noises, lost power, and no oil pressure. I've had it less than two months. Had a fresh tune up, two week old Mobile1, and a new Purolator filter.
I'm looking for a donor and considering a 4.5L stroker depending on the price I pay for a motor.
Also, **** Enterprise Rental. I was a repeat customer of multiple visits, but they decided my money isn't good enough for them with an out-of-state license. "You aren't special just because you're in the army." My money will be going elsewhere in the future.
I just posted how much I liked your Wrangler then read this. Sorry to hear about that. Time for a bionic wrangler, built bigger and stronger Originally Posted by NewKindOfClown

! If my motor ever craps out I will definitely do the stroker upgrade.

Is this thing back on the road yet? Just slap a stock motor back in it and drive it.

It's been sitting since August. I lost the keys while I was back home in Ohio cause I'm an idiot. I went to the dealership to run the VIN so I could get the right security keys, and their records show it doesn't have the VATS security system. It does.Originally Posted by Basslicks

So I need to install a new cylinder and a bunch of resistors and play around til it starts. Then I need to replace everything in the front brake system AGAIN because the right caliper still locks unexpectedly.
Welcome to my life.

I work 12 hours on/12 off repeating. Today is the first chance I have to go look at a replacement motor, but I don't have a way to transport it, and the Jeep is still an hour away in Baltimore with no way for me to tow it.Originally Posted by Lowrange2
