Thanks until my engine just blew up!!! I have been pretty mad... I am having a friend help put an engine in with only 60,000 miles on it. I am also gonna put headers, cold air intake, straight pipe and 31 inch tires on it while it is apart... And sway bar quick disconnects in the front
That's no good! Well you'll get to learn the jeep better and become better aquatinted. Think of it that way. You'll be happier in the end man. I just got a Cherokee with 175k on her we'll see how long she goes before me and her get "better aquatinted" ha. Good luck to you! Let us know how it turns out.

Lot's of great information and pics from the last few years, thanks to all! I am in the lift/wheel process now but with covid everything is delayed. I redid all trans lines, cooling system, replaced cracked head and I finally got the paint done thanks to not working and being stuck at home due to covid. For those asking about liners to use earlier I painted the green with the Raptor 4 bottle kit and included nozzle for the rougher texture and 4 bottles of green tint through ebay from a place in California, $19/ea. Air setting was 65 psi and 12=24 inches away spraying. If you want a smoother finish you can get the $75 Raptor spray gun with adjustable nozzle. I have it, didn't use it. I hate the prep work so I have some details to clean up but Raptor liner is incredible, affordable and very forgiving!! The bumpers will be replaced later so I went ahead and raptor painted them too so they look good for now, turned out great. I just need to get my lift and wheels. Rubicon 3.5" w/bilstein monos, Cabfab crossover, 32x10.5 mud, 15x8 w/ 3.75 backspacing and doing whatever I can to keep stock fender flares as I won't be crawling, mostly on road with occasional off road. (thank you @unidentifiedbomb for the excellent write up and pics of saving the flares) I did replace the falling headliner of a 'shadow' Milenium Falcon, but I didn't have a pic on the computer. Raptor kit with green tint for body, Raptor spray can for the black. I used Upol's grey epoxy primer. The bumpers were sun bleached so I raptor painted them too, temporarily, as they will be replaced later but it turned out pretty good. I just did the small black strip to connect front and back black trim, I never liked the big thick side line to match bumper thickness.
