Bought the Jeep from a local friend. Had some rust issues and some engine problems. Changed out the battery so at least it would start. Let the fun begin!

9/20/2010
Replaced the cap, rotor, plugs, wire, and crank sensor. Changed the oil as well. Still has a misfire.

9/21/2010
Replaced front and rear O2 sensors with NGK 23151 and NGK 23099. Still misfiring.

9/23/2010
Replaced distributor. Works finally! Time for inspection and registration!

Started lift kit install. Man, this is not easy. Most of the bolts and suspension components are rusted fairly bad. It took about 24 hours to complete the front suspension and another 10 for the rear. Installed the Bushwackers at the same time. Man, the lift and the Bushwackers really changed the demenor of this vehicle. Can't wait to get the wheels and tires mounted up. Word of the wise, get as many of the replacement bolts for the suspension from Jeep as you can. They will come in handy.

Alright, the Jeep is now legal to drive in Texas!

10/19/2010
Got the wheels and tires mounted up and on the Jeep! Man, what a mean looking Jeep!

10/25/2010
Oops, the exhaust rusted out and fell off on the highway! Guess it is time to look at new headers and exhaust! But man, it does sound mean!

Sweet, my OR FAB front bumper came in. ORF83203. Install was a snap. Took about 2 hours from start to finish. Now I need a mean looking winch for this bad boy.

Received my Hi-Lift jack! Bolted her on my OR Fab Bumper with no issues. Woot! Now the Jeep is a little more prepared.
