Picked up my winch. Welders going to start building my front & rear bumpers....SWEET

 

Replaced the door bushing and dropped the jeep off at the welders (new Bumpers) today.

 

Tore into my 4.0l 2001 TJ that I bought for $500....
P.O. overheated motor and never changed the oil...
Damage discovered so far....
Head warped .007" between cyl #1 and #3
#2 piston missing upper ring land (stuck to top of cylinder
#2 Piston badly scuffed as well. rings melted into piston suprisingly the bores are OK...
Cam badly wiped, lifters noisy, engine major sludge
when it was running it was pumping a gallon an hour into the exhaust
me thinks I'm looking at a used motor, this has been so badly overheated I wouldn't try to put a
new piston, cam and rings and not expect the other pistons to come apart...

 

7" KC h4 up grades and windsheild mounts for lights...

 

Bumpers installed and winch mounted

 

Had the undercoating re-sprayed. I live on the ocean in Nova Scotia where the salt spray wrecks havoc, so have the undercoating redone every year. So far, no sign of rust.

 

I like your hood decal!! where did you pick it up?

 

Just had a local graphic shop make it for me.

 

Bent my front bumper....... Maybe a new one for Boxing day...lol.... Bigger Better.....

 

Replaced rotted fuel tank holder yesterday, am new to the forum, recently purchased my first jeep, a 1999 tj sport 4.0l 5 speed. Looking forward to getting muddy next spring! Want to install a winch, any one know what I have to do, and what I'll need, any advice is appreciated
