prep i'd probably handle myself, or knock it out quick with you guys. I'd want the jambs done and the underside of the hood itself done, but not the engine bay or interior.

Well I wanna spray the entire thing with fresh paint not just the 2 doors and new fender, there's quite a few scratches on it.
Also, is there a line-x close to that slate blue color? If so I'd be even more intersted in that

What I am doing for Tim is spraying the bedliner I use on his exterior and then painting over with cheapish Urethane enamel for easy touch ups. I could do around the same thing for you but if you wanted the slate it would have to be Basecoat/ clearcoat *BC/CC* which is harder to touch up.

From what you told me on the phone yesterday.... It's electrical.
It's either the ground on the back of the head, or the Positive lead on the battery.
I need to check, but I know the ZJ's had an issue with a screw on the computer, just wondering out loud if the XJ's had the same problem.....your issue is the same one I had last year on my ZJ....no start but power to everything else...
And I am planning on stopping by Sunday afternoon before I head home from Frostys to throw on new valve cover....

I know you said you would be here Sunday with valve cover, but I was hoping that if one of the other guys could check it out before Sunday, than we would have a diagnosis prior to your arrival. Was kinda thinking ahead just in case I needed parts or something.

the 7120 and 0630 heads are exactly the same - the only exception being that coolant temperature sensor hole on the rear of the head. If you swap the head it's a non-issue - just use the thermostat port. If you don't swap the head, just get a threaded plug, or leave the old sensor in place and just don't use it.
Your intake and exhaust will bolt right up - no issue whatsoever.
the flexplate you can buy from any auto parts store. Just make sure it's for a 97. Personally something like a flexplate i'd buy factory stuff. The one you need is Jeep/Mopar part# 52118551.

After we spoke I had to go out and bring in rest of groceries and ck my spare. The interior lights were back on, but as soon as I turned key, lights died. When I turn key there is nothing, no click, no clack,no nothing. Have to check out spare today because I got sidetracked by this handsome 1 yr old and forgot what I was doing.
I know you said you would be here Sunday with valve cover, but I was hoping that if one of the other guys could check it out before Sunday, than we would have a diagnosis prior to your arrival. Was kinda thinking ahead just in case I needed parts or something.

Mascott,
Anyone in your developement have tools??? If so, have them take a socket that is a little bigger that positive terminal, and tap (not beat) down on it and let me know what happens....
Thinking back to the last day I was down there, and what you told me yesterday I think that may be the problem....
Thanks for jogging my memory Dukie lol
