It's finally done, well at least 80% (it is a jeep after all). I think pretty much every part of this Jeep has been attended to. Still need to wrap up a few things but happy to have the meat and potatoes done.

Default New Parts List

Being my 3rd XJ and 5 jeep, and with the XJ market in an uptick, I planned on a forever jeep so I pretty much replaced everything. It just hit 114k and honestly didn't need everything it got but I am very much the kind of guy who has the "well I am already here so I might as well" mentality.

Water pump
Thermostat and housing
Radiator
All hoses
JBA headers
(Had the heads checked while they were off. Went ahead and rebuilt them because why not)
Magnaflow exhaust
Valve cover gasket
Valve cover gromets and elbows
Head gasket
Rear main seal
Oil pan gasket
Spark plugs, wires etc
Distributor, dist cap and rotor (DUI Livewire)
Oil filter adapter o rings
Trans gasket and filter
Rubicon express 4.5 inch lift, quick disconnect f away bars, shocks, control arms etc
RE Adjustable Trac bar
Currie correct Lync steering
Ball joints
Every ujoint in axles and drive line
Slip yoke eliminator
Double cardan rear drive shaft
Bushings throughout
Youkon 4.88 gears (The only outsourced labor on the jeep. Had it done at East Coast Gear in Raleigh NC. Included all new seals etc)
35" BFG KM2 tires
Front bumper
Warn 9.5 ti winch
Rear bumper w/swing out tire carrier
Headlight upgrade
Brown dog motor mounts
Notch custom fenders

Still to do:
Frame stiffeners
Onboard ARB compressor
ARB snorkel
Lockers
Sliders
Rack
Lightbar
Custom switch panel
Aux fuse and relay box

Very happy to have a 4.0 without a single drop of any type of leak.
