Hello everyone! About 6 months ago I bought a 2000 Cherokee Sport for $100 with the intention of fixing and selling it to make a couple bucks. When I bought it, I knew that coolant was disappearing and after a little research I discovered it was likely to have the 0331 head crack. Well, after a little wrenching, I confirmed the crack and grabbed a TUPY head from an 04 Wrangler at the local salvage yard. Well, now that's fixed and I drove it around for a bit, and for some reason I still haven't listed it for sale... I've come to really like this thing.
At this point I don't know what if any mods I'll do to it. So far, I have installed a decent $500 stereo, new General Grabber AT2 tires and tinted the rear windows. I just developed a radiator leak, so I'll be fixing that and probably replacing all the cooling system parts with the exception of the water pump that I already replaced. In the summer I will probably rebuild the engine as the coolant in the oil pretty much wiped out the bearings. I sit at almost 10 PSI oil pressure at idle so I know it's not ideal.
Anyway, I just wanted to share my story...
