Well, at least Saturn was owned/built by GM, so you're gtg in my book!
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
Maybe just do the motor?
I have to agree with what's his name ^^^
Bobby, grab the 123,000 mile unit. Go buy a comp cams (call them direct & ask them what they recommend for towing / gas mileage) & have top end redone. Then you'll have a torqueee little motor without that big price tag. I did this (cam & top end) on my 04 rubicon & noticed a big improvement in drive ability. If you want add the headers & exhaust. Just my 2 cents
I have to agree with what's his name ^^^Buy the used motor, pull the head. hand port it, well just clean up the roughness in the casting, good performance valve job with a larger seat surface. Paint up the inside and outside, weld a chunk of plate steel onto the oil pan bottom, do the cam.Heck, send the pan to me and I'll do it for ya!As Norm would say, toss in a High lift, short duration bump stick, and think about cam timing. Gasket it all up and bolt her in.
Good idea, there is a difference in years but can't recall when that happened....Edit: Bobby I researched it, as long as that motor came out of a 99 tj or xj you're gtg. If it came out of a 99 wj then it's a no go.....
Trans cooler line is easy fix typically it's just a short piece of rubber tube connecting steel lines to tranny & steel lines to tran cooler. $5 piece of rubber hose & couple hose clamps. Lay on your back under front end & you'll see them. Same issue on my tj hose had nick in it
Reno, your just a couple hours from me!
As our leader would say"give that man a gold star"! Enjoy your trip to Reno Bobby. Hope there is no shooting. And stay away from Lamar Odom's house.....Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
You get that motor picked up?
Ouch for a $30 part. I have a line on one out here for about free, just come get it. I don't have the room or time.
CPS are cranky old buggers. and for something so small.. word of warning, I saw something about you picking up another motor at some point. If you do, make sure you keep your existing flywheel on whatever 4.0 you stick back in there.. otherwise the CPS won't read the 'dot dash' as the flywheel spins and won't tell it to fire when needed. ask me how I figured that on out..
That's the part that I had to (sorta) laugh at. Had I thought harder about it, I could've just had XJ towed to my apt complex, and bought the part and done it myself. But I also didn't want to fight with XJ. Oh well, what's done is done.

I just got a cat from rock auto for less than everyone even with shipping!
You get that motor while u were there?
Maybe look for a wrecked one for the motor. To bad your so far, some guy wants me take one from him, I just don't have room.
I mean not in the yard, parts trucks on cl. I see suburban stuff all the time. Not to rub in but lots of xj's in yards.
2" budget boost and 31" ATs in whatever flavor you decide on and call it done. no steering or track bar corrections with anything under 3", but a worthwhile upgrade should the need arise is a Rusty's knuckle to knuckle steering conversion. straight forward install, tosses the old Y link steering out the window to keep the same geometry no matter how far the suspension travels.
3" you'll need an adjustable track bar, (usually comes with a HD mount as well) but everything else is just the same. I can get a pick of one we just did that is 3" and 31ish tires. looks sharp. has newer rubicon rims on it, so they're 17s. has to get wheel spacer/adapters for it. (not needed if you're keeping the same rims..) 3" looks great on those XJs with stock fenders.
Bobby's thread just got the hi jack......
