I bought a 4.0 from S&J engines and had a shop swap it in for $3,300 total. My jeep had 175,000 on the clock when I decided to do that (Head gasket failed on me too).
Should I fix my head gasket or sell my Jeep?

Yep, I read that right.
I'm not sure what is making you say you trust them.... blink twice if they're reading this thread.

because he's going to have to get a bushing in his ass after their done ! he never did say if it's a 4 or 6cyl ?

I'LL only put the head in, I PROMISE !
$3700 head replacement quote and you trust them?
You need to run it by another shop for an estimate.

I replaced my head with a clearwater due to a crack. cost me a total of 700ish to do it myself and the necessary "tools" I "needed" for the job...unless you have no clue on what you are doing, don't have the time, or don't have the space, then I would take it somewhere and pay whatever you deem necessary to get it fixed. But yes, 3700 is a lot of money to replace a head gasket
that's crazy! I got a rebuilt from Jasper and had a shop swap it in. It was 6k, the engine was 3,500 labor was 1,500 and miscellaneous expenses was 1k including hoses, oil, coolant, new battery and accessories etc. and taxes

8k can probably get you a 5.3+trans swap.
Unfortunately, this is an expensive lesson learned. If it’s not too late, keep your Jeep away from that shop
Had the head gasket go on my tj and xj at about the same time. Weekend replacement gasket on the xj and then got the tj ported and polished. I was told I wouldn't see much gain unless I stroked it to. So off to the machine shop for cleaning and assembly for under 2k. Did it all with my jeep tool bag as we had just moved in and out of an apartment with a single garage.

where do you find these things? I am having you locate my next TJ
You are being way overcharged. I would like to see a breakdown of the labor/material costs.
Damn just drove through there on Thursday and again on Saturday.
