Well I picked up the Jeep because I just moved to MD and need something for winter. So for now I won't be doing anything crazy, just need it to get me from point A to B.
Bad news is, I am worried the engine may be on it's way out. I'll give more details after I do a compression and some other tests in the next couple of days. But if worse comes to worse, at least I'll get to know the truck very personally during a complete overhaul. Just need to find time to do it before winter hits.

I got mine for the same reason, but she'll have you whipped soon
"Before winter hits" is a common phrase here, too. A few of us are tryin to get our lifts done before it snows again.

I have been doing a slooooowwwww rebuild on an 88 motor, the one I have in my 89 Cherokee may be leaking a quart of oil every 1000 miles, but it starts and runs great...
As far as winters here, you get some breaks here and there.
I'm actually considering renting a garage up my way this winter so I can keep the momentum going on my builds. My mom has a 2 car garage in Harford county, just a little too far for me to access right now...

At least you have access to a shop on base, wish I was that lucky. Hmmmm, just got an idea, does the military accept broken down 45 year olds

Also need jacks and jackstands. I have spring compressors, but have not needed them for the last few lifts I have done.
As far as other hardware for the lift, these guys can tell you more, I haven't even paid much attention to my XJ, as I got mine with 3 inches of lift already installed....

They sure do, my office is full of people just like yourself. I work on the civilian side (as does 90% of the base).

Get 2-3 cans of PB Blaster and start spraying every nut and bolt that has to be removed. Will make it easier when the time comes....

I have a few buddies in the car buisness and I am more than happy to ask around, but they are all up in hagerstown...which i believe is a little far from you? But i can ask if you don't think distance is a problem.
