Get a Hanson front bumper or check out Kevin's Offroad if you are looking for a bumper. Also, me and my club will be going to Cliff's on the 30th if you would like to join us.

im trying to find some cheap 3.5" coil springs for the front so i can ditch the spacer. and then i can move the v8 coils in the back since the i6 coils back there are way to soft

Just do some Rusty's springs, I hear good things about them and they arent badly priced either. Make sure you check our website (ddoffroad.com), hope to see you at a meet and greet or something like that.

well attempted to fix the rear main seal and the block decided to crack on me. I put it all back together and its leaking like no other. So now im suck with no car and no money! great. Option one is to put a used engine in ( need help with that since i have no garage or tools for that) or option 2 is to put it up for sale and get what i can for it.

Ouch man that's a real buzz kill, sorry to hear it.
You're not gonna net much for a ZJ with a cracked block. I'd be half tempted to say drop another motor in, but given your work conditions, that seems like it'd be a task as well.
You sir, are stuck inbetween a rock and a hard place, keep us updated, best of luck buddy!
