After that i figured i would spray it all one color just with the rattle can until my air compressor and tools got dropped off by the moving company. But before i get to far i gotta mention the jeep ran fine all the way up to the hotel we got in north carolina (my wife and i had to stay at a hotel for a week before we could move into and close on our house) the radiator and water pump had had enough so i found myself changing both in the parking lot around 11 pm
All of this happened around may of 2013 Shortly after getting moved in i found a steal of a deal a 97 xj 4dr 4x4 for 400$ and put a 350$ motor in it and ran her for awhile. Before turning it in on a 08 commander for my wife(at least she wanted a jeep) in return i bought a 94 with 6in rough country brand new 35 km2s on mickeys for 500$ Knowing the motor was bad i still drove it home being to stubborn to trailer it. After pulling the head this is what i found Now i have decided just to throw the lift and tires under my 99 and part out the rest Im putting the 231 tcase up to my ax 15 that i picked up from the JY The axles have 4:88 |
