Welcome to the 2 door club
Nice find let's see some pics!

It's not super rare but definitely not a common setup. Does it have a 4.0?

Not even broke in yet!

Hit every corroded fastener that you see with PB Blaster (a spritz, not a flood) whenever you do anything to it. Sooner or later every one of those fasteners will be coming out.

Real nice find. Great to see people buying these and plan to keep them stock. Maybe look into the "upcountry" option if you have to replace springs and shocks. Take your time and do it right the first time, and it will last forever.


Also, if you do decide to sell it as some point, I don't think there will be more than three or four dozen guys on here willing to buy it (lol).

Also fyi your air problem may be your control unit. Mine wasnt blowing through the vents so I rigged it with a ziptie until i got another one(which was today) at a junkyard. Unless your blower motor is bad and it isnt blowing at all.
