hey guys im back round stuffs been hectic.  sold the dakota got another jeep.  a tj this time round 4 banger 5 spd.  well looks clean , dealer that sold me it told me since i found so many thing wrong with it they'd throw in a warranty that would fix everything i found.  well i found a whole lot. and shocking the warrenty didnt cover it.  i got it dirt cheap but still.  its a '97 so far i rebuilt the t-case, new clutch, rebuilt rear axle, front axle is bent. new radiator, multi function switch and about a month ago i started it drove to work and the engine had started knocking.  ended up the head gasket went bad, and coolant got into my oil and spun a bearing.  so of course 2 weeks later was driving home one night nd it locked up.  so i called all round cant find a motor for a reasonable price, emailed the guy who i sold my yj's motor to and im picking it back up thursday. lol.  word to wise a decent 4 banger motor is 1600bucks round these parts.  but yea im back ad still linger around just been running round a whole lot.  how you guys doing?

oh yea i got a spacer lift for it installed the rear like a week after getting it, and still haven't done the front.  kit was dirt cheap too spacers shocks new adjust track bars nd jks discos 150 everything new.
got jeep begining of summer it sits more than i drive it.

Using tools you have not used in a while is like shaking hands with old friends. :nod:

Hello, I don't know you but welcome back to the site.  It's nice to see more TJ owners like myself, eventhough I own both a TJ and a YJ.  Where did you get your lift so cheap at?  I want to order the same one.  Thanks for your reply and hope to hear back soon! Jeff :biggrin:

motor is swapped out and in runs like a champ.  finally have my jeep back on the road.  and as for my lift i got it off a guy on a forum by me so i doubt you'll find it that cheap .
