This Jeep is an old friend, my mom bought her new, dad named her, and I stole her lol. This has been a fantastic machine. All factory motor, and tranny.

This whole refresh started after a slow leak that became annoying. Well actually, it all started as a caliper job, but I started looking around, why not? W

The installation went somewhat smooth, when you get the last 20 years of oil off,lol. I had two gaskets for the oil pump, opted for the felpro. Also, I've saw write-ups suggesting rtv for the RMS, no! I went with the anaombic sealant, worth it, and soaked the gasket itself with new oil as long as you can. No leaks total success!

A productive night, put on the steering linkage, steering damper, sway bar and links. I might have this thing done by winter.

Last night when I was beating out the shock nuts. I was looking at my frame rail, to notice a small crack on the unibody right above the rear wheel. To my horror when I pushed it my finger went thru. Well this angered me, every bit of the frame is in excellent shape. Was coated at the factory. I got my screwdriver and Hammer, and just started chipping. I could not fathom what has done this, and then I began looking, the hatch floorboard has rotted. Water has kicked up, soaked in, and somehow been draining into the rear frame rail channel. Ugh
