A buddy of mine has a WJ that his daughter drove, and over heated, he thinks the engine might need a rebuild. So I offered to trade a pistol for it and he said OK, so I'm going to go pick it up tomorrow. My daughter's boyfriend needs a daily driver, so he is going to get the engine rebuilt, and use it while I am in Afghanistan, but when I come home it will me mine again. So now I will own a ZJ, WJ, and WK...

I think I might do an "expedition" type build with the WJ, and get a little crazier on the ZJ build...not sure yet...

Nice! Thanks for the link! Im actually thinking of just having it done at the dealership, brand new engine...its going to cost more, but the warranty on the engine and work makes me feel safer...


And Im already pricing lift kits...dammit! This collecting Jeeps is EXPENSIVE!
