Oh like it would go well now :laugh2:
Went to put in coolant, leak at the thermostat. Pulled it back apart and the new gasket got trashed already. Looks like the stat slipped a bit.
Got a new gasket so I'll try it again. Oil got changed too.
Hoping the 2.5" flex pipe I bought works for a temporary exhaust patch, to slip over the spot I cut. Gotta get everything redone between the downpipe and muffler. Its touching the floor in a few spots thanks to some bashing off road.
Sounds like they are good people. I've always seen jeeps out front of their shop. How'd you like them?

They were great! Definitely recommend them and will use them again. Probably going to see how much they'll want to get the AC working in the Jeep again.
That's good!
Been debating if I want to do the blend door for the defrost to feet or see how much it would be to have it done. I know it's like a 6-8hr job....

It’s alive!
Got it started tonight after doing the thermostat a third time. Kept slipping down, never had that issue before.
Still open header but I needed to fire it up. Idled smooth. Debating just towing it to the exhaust shop instead of trying to figure out a temporary connection

Definitely leaning that way, especially with the flange to front driveshaft clearance issue. I'm assuming they can solve it and I'd rather not trash the driveshaft on the way there

Got the exhaust hooked up. Dropped the crossmember to replace it with the SFR one, figured that might give me some exhaust slack.
Left the garage, burped cooling and drove it around the block. Has an exhaust leak but it works!

Got the exhaust fixed. Man cats got expensive.
Driving back I had a new rotational noise. Either the t case chain is stretched or the centering ball on a driveshaft went bad

Pulled the front shaft. Still had the noise.
Pulled up on the e brake handle slightly and it’s gone. Must be related to the new trans mount

E brake cable was rubbing the driveshaft. Problem solved

Changed out fuel injector connectors and cleaned the fuel injectors. Runs like a champ now
and even improved mpg.

My mom had one that looked just like that in the 90's. 2wd though. Definitely takes me back.
There's a really nice looking red 96 4.0 4x4 for sale in Houston for 3k, but its at a sketchy dealer. I kind of want to go take a look at it.
