Throwout bearing install dilemma

Pretty sure jeep_boss is no longer active on the forum. In fact, I know he's not. I think the answer to all your questions is "yes", however. ;)
Welcome to the forum, by the way!
 
Maybe jeep boss is on vacation or took a temporary hiatus from the forum. ?
He was also contemplating selling the TJ for something better for towing, might have jumped on the sale as he seemed to straighten out all his clutch/vibes issues.....or his latest exchange with another member might have pushed him away?
