Also got a call from the shop. They are cutting the rear frame at the rear seat and doing a complete tube rear. Said it would be much stronger and easier to work with for them.

I'm in the same game. Waiting for my friend to bring me a part out of his Mercedes I can modify for him (dealer wants $2500). It'll take me a few hours, but in return he's putting a brand new set of 33" Duratracs on my TJ (he runs a big box tire place).

I'm guessing you didn't have to have your arm twisted for that.

Just got the news on the '95's head. One bad valve guide and the exhaust seats are shot. 0.01 warp. Unfortunately there's a crack between #3 and #4 going into the water jacket.

Left it in the driveway for 4 days while I was in Moab in another jeep. It's probably jealous now.

Ha ha, so long highly restrictive factory dented exhaust pipe!

Just put it in today and I've already noticed an extra 5 hp, 10 lbs. of torque, better gas mileage, smoother idle, 10 degrees less engine temp and my cholesterol has dropped 20 points.
