Jeep Driver

Here is just one of your tyrants- https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/politics/michael-bloomberg-women/ Read the Garrison complaint. He's also footing much of the anti-gun bill. And the farce known at Climate Change.

It's an election year, nothing more. I wouldn't gloat, the tyrants are not dead.

I remember the thread from ages ago. I found a couple of mentions in searches but all links are dead. It's another one of those deals whereas a man wants to supply an item but the community will not support it. Those pics are the only reference I could find.

Quality.

I'm well aware of it. Frontiers, which I have, were notorious for this. $6K fail. If I were building a Jeep with an auto, if it mattered, the trans would never run through the radiator.

They got married again today, more pics after the honeymoon.

I specifically rejected the idea of a WJ crossover for various reasons. Mainly braking limitations. If you want a bolt on HD aftermarket solution with no BS.............Synergy.

You missed the point- entirely. I don't care what you do or how you do it.......not trying to convince you of anything, other than- A value needs to be placed on the effort, time, parts........one repair vs another........then judge or discern which solution is best. And which solution is actually a solution in the long term, most people are shortsighted. Save a dime today and spend a dollar tomorrow. I just looked it up. Summit, Felpro head gasket set, 4.0 $110 ARP head bolts, $87 Oil and filter.......no BS here- $40 Coolant- $15 Cleaning supplies and misc sundries- $40 $292. What is one weekend of time worth? Now, if that does not solve your problem.....? Chuck a weekend and $300 to the trash and start over again. In the real world, and I don't mind telling, I earn $200 per day, that is what my time is worth to me. So, two days and $300..........$700 project. Now, will I spend $700 and not spend at least the $250 for a valve job? No, I won't, so add that into the equation. I make general statements for the most part, I don't get personal, it may be your thread but it's not about you. There are many others who take what someone says as the Gold Standard of knowledge. Providing the balance.

Look at the discoloration between cylinders 2 and 3, a new head gasket would not have solved my problem. Also, what someone needs to do is -accurately- cost out a head gasket replacement. Include time. Head gasket. Head bolts. Coolant. Oil and filter. Cleaning supplies. VC gasket. Spark plugs and wires.........yes. Stat housing gasket and stat. I'll bet you are damn near $400. Not including any ancillaries such as studs, nuts, bolts, hose clamps......etc..........broken or need replaced.

This. Rebuild, not 'refresh'. Look to Mellings for oil pump, cam and lifters. Cloyes for timing set. Felpro for gaskets.

Heat for removing decals, not erasers. Whatever you use, you risk the possibility of damaging the original finish. Your clear coat appears to be gone, like every other 30 year old finish. I'd start with reducer, but that's what I have on hand. Lacquer thinner, acetone, xylene.........try something. You may end up repainting the hood. Anything in a rattle can is garbage, not an automotive finish.

Something else to be aware of.

Maybe the 'Pub' should go away?

You have what amounts to an AMC/Chrysler/Jeep version of a GM harness. The main components are the same. I'm sure they can help you. https://www.painlessperformance.com/

I don't like 'topical' discussions, those discussions are unnatural. Five guys standing in a room discussing a subject..........no one gets pissed because the discussion veers off. Control freaks want to control everything, I despise control freaks. What happened in the other thread was fine.

Popular vote..........this is how totalitarian regimes are formed..........every time.

Not off topic, in fact, on point. Then and now, those who seek control of our guns are the same, intrinsically linked together. https://www.nationalreview.com/2013/12/how-nazis-used-gun-control-stephen-p-halbrook/ They have plans for you.

Is this relevant? It appears that you approve of this?

No, it was not.

That's right, and I said absolutely nothing improper.

Yes, they break. Get one for $5 at the PnP from a late model XJ.

It does not fire at all? No spark? May be a bad coil.
