well as a few know the engine is toasted. .a mechanic my dad knows good found an engine out of an 01..with only 18k on it. complete for a grand. hes only going to charge me 400$ for remove old and install new. i think its about as good as i can get it for the money. I have a set of M.O.R.E bombproof mounts going in it. .. tand this solves my cracked manifold issue that was driving me nuts .. o yea and today i took my rear bumper and hitch off... jeep went up about 2 inches at lest haha.. and i cut and folded my rear 1/4s thing looks more like a buggy .. and thats a good thing.
and another thing.. i lowerd the price of all the stuff im selling.. check the regular forsale board. the bumper, rails , and maybe coils are pending shipping quotes
well the engine is on hold and going in next week.

Sorry to hear about the engine, Keith.
You'll like the MORE mounts - I've been running them since shortly before NACFest, and think they're great.
Hope to hear you're up and running again soon.

dude you should have seen it coming out of the rear 1/4s when i cut them they were FULL of concrete mud. the bumper caps were full it was up inside.. no wonder my engine wasnt happy. i was using a standerd garden hose full blast and it wasnt cutting it AT ALL ! no more mud or water for this kid..as a few of you know im moving to crawlorado in november. so instead it will be rocks... im better at rocks though so we shall see
