I have started bringing mine back to life. Pulled the carb for the rebuild. I have also removed the smog pump, as it is not needed any more. Now time to drain the tank.

Yeah Yeah, who really cares? Maybe I will have mine running again by the time you get back.

Carb rebuild kit is in and the carb came out tonight. I will start tearing into it tomorrow. Might as well pull and reseal the valve covers while I am there, they both had small leaks.

And you win the cookie
I could wheel with only 2 wheel drive, I had a replacement shaft for the busted lugs, but when the track bar bracket broke and took part of the coil bucket that was it. We are renting a jk Rubicon for some baby trails tomorrow.

That's a bummer man

I'd start by putting a real drive train in it. !!!1

And be a mopar junky like you? :dunno:

I would rather put a 3.4 out of a camaro. And that is a bolt in.

I only have one mopar emblem on my whole xj and when I find a tail Light without one, I will put that one on.

My XJ. The AMC kind.
