^^ I had to file a paypal dispute on a ZJ guy from this forum today for a part I bought last month and never got.

Today I fired my truck up and drove it around my yard with a big grin on my face, I love this thing. I found out I need a gas tank though, so my fun was cut short by the low fuel light.

Tomorrow when I wake up I will be seeing about those torque converter bolts. Hoping that cures my knocking sound.

pulled the inspection plate to look at the torque converter bolts. Unfortunately they were all really tight and I will have to trace my knock down somewhere else.
