Also going to look into replacing the heads, right now they engine seems to be running in perfect shape. Just the couple oil leaks and it should be good.
Do yourself a favor and do a good undercarriage inspection before just tearing around in it.

Have you checked all the fluids and their conditions? Lubed all the grease fittings?

Not yet, I worked until 9 last night, and came into work at 8:30. Before I bought the jeep and mechanic up in service put her on a lift and we did a complete inspection on everything. Everything mechanically is sound. But before I do any long distance trips I will definitely check all fluids. Thanks for all the advice Cruiser!

Sure. Hate to see a failure because the previous owner neglected something.
