Rig for the Snow

[fiveNdime]

I figured it was time to get a decent 4x4 for winter and rainy days. its a 96 HO model with airaid intake, Warrior Products 5" Lift, WP steering brace, WP roof rack, WP diamond plate sides, WP rock barz with aluminum inserts, WP front and rear bumpers, WP removable door setup, centerline wheels and 33" BFG mud terrains. Fun but it has a bad head gasket. I got a good deal on it and figured I had time to wrench with all this snow falling. One pic for now.

I tore into it today and found that the rings have fused themselves on the number 2 piston.....tried to take a pic but it didn't turn out. It actually left part of the piston on the cylinder wall it got so hot. Heres what it looks like now. I am still trying to figure out if I want to stroke it or not.

hell yeah stroke it! 4.7l stroker is a badass motor! i am planning it on our 87 cherokee once the HG goes in the 4.0.

 

i know, lousy pic but heres our 87.

Bad news, the head was cracked. Good news, I found another motor with half the mileage and 2 years newer for 500 bucks.....thus costing me less then all the machine work would have. :D

[fiveNdime]

I got the new motor in......the most infuriating swap I have ever done. It runs like a dream now. Here it is as of today!
