I need to hear this and see what power she's making !

I don't really want to set foot in that state again - unless something turns around.

Ha hood was already open to disco the battery to work on the winch contacts but I do like a photo with the blower poking out there. Solenoid is just water/meth injection. Never been on a dyno but she runs ~7.5 psi and there are plenty of dyno graphs out there for TJs running similar boost. Probably somewhere around 50% over stock.

You can rebuild him .. we have the technology …faster stronger better than ever before.
You didn't go gazing from the chum line, that's why you didn't see any. A quick calf cut with your knife, or a small bucket of chum, if you go prepared, while hanging out on that rope and you should be off to the races.
Ordered new NTK camshaft and crankshaft sensors in an attempt to be able to NOT walk home again.

I was hoping that someone would help me out with a diagnosis before doing that and selling it. Jeep #21?

Think I’ll throw my hat in the ring too.
Be in Covington in about a week, so I’ll be close. How much? Should I bring a trailer?

Whats in the tank in front of the spare ? Nice job on the mount whatever it is .
Its funny, well not really.. I just sold my JT in favor of my TJ and LJ due to reliability and long term ownership concerns. The new JT/JL's are having all kinds of problems of their own and the more advanced computer systems make them a royal pain to work on in some regards, not to mention post covid work environments have left a lot of shops 'starting over' in terms of long time institutional knowledge and high quality techs - at least in my area. Theres big paint corrosion issues happening and that was the nail in the coffin for me as it can easily exceed $10,000 to repair which is above stellants threshold - ie, some have been left high and dry despite it being a warranty situation. Super comfortable, easy to drive capable all the bells and whistles. But something about the TJ/LJ that is simple has pulled me back. Of course with the last of the TJ's and LJ's approaching 20 years old, parts availability is probably going to start becoming a problem. But I would suggest looking at jeepgladiatorforum.com and the JL forum before jumping ship. One of the biggest problems people are experiencing (myself included) is warranty repairs are total crap much of the time, not always, but there are a lot of folks having major problems with terrible quality work. Others are having to fight super hard against stellants to get things covered under warranty that are clearly a warranty item. In my case, I had a transfer case leak for a common transfer input shaft seal that is known to be damaged at the factory. Once they finally agreed to replacing the seal, after I had to do the wipe clean and check for several weeks to prove it was not the trans pan, they took it in. The 'top tech' put the transfer case back together wrong the first time so it had to come out again for a second time to be torn apart and put back together. Then they put a bunch of bolts in incorrectly for the x-member, and even forgot to reinstall the plastic skid that protected fuel lines from being hit by debris. All after some internal conflicts turned a 2 day job into over a week - and of course 'no rental car available' despite it having been under contract. So after seeing signs of galvanic corosion, and a valve cover oil leak on the passenger side which requires the entire battery box and PDC to be removed to repair, I was hesitant on reliability, long term ownership, and future warranty repairs. All I'm saying is just be sure you want to go that route first. Maybe look into your local dealers to see what they offer or if there are reports of problems with repairs/warranty. TJ/LJ is far easier to work on IMO in many cases, and a lot of the problems are well known by now. Sure theres no heated seats, but simplicity has its benefits.
It's weird I've also not experienced these O2, OPDA, PCM, etc. problems with either of my 06's that so many have dealt with.

Not today, but I have been chipping away at small items on my new-to-me ‘97. I replaced the tires with 31x10.5/15 Falken Wildpeaks, liking them so far. When doing that I noticed my front pads were crumbling, and then I bumped the left front brake line with the tire when pulling them off and that just fell apart, so brakes and quick brake line repair. Thankfully I had about 2 hrs free to get the tires and all that done, JUST able to finish it by the end of the day for the weekend.
Over the weekend I drilled out the rear window crossbar brackets and secured them with some nice stainless screws and ny-lock nuts.
This week I replaced a broken exhaust hanger, the cat back was just floppin’ around everywhere. I also cleaned out all the garbage from the frame and gave it a few cans of Fluid Film.
Still need to do the rear spring perches, some body mount repairs too, but I have to finish and sell my WRX. I also plan to use some of that money to install a JeepAir kit.
I also repaired the third brake light circuit.

50/50 water/methanol. Mount itself is from JCR I think, just a universal spare holder.
