Got a Wrangler? Maybe a friend with one? http://www.WranglerTalk.com/

Well needed to drop a hello to everyone here. So far it's been busy making this thing truely driveable. So far:
Complete interior removal and clean (must have been a frat house spare or something)
including carpet ($15 at coin car wash) and strip and wash of the seats.
New Headliner
Replaced stock steels/chrome hubcaps ( Ecco from factory ) with Ravines and 30x9.50s
Removed body line trim ( looked like crap anyway )
Rebuilt NSS
Serviced tranny with selly clean, new fluid and filter
Serviced 8.25 rear with new fluid and LubLocker gasket ( I hate RTV )
Fighting misfires so..tune up, new TPS, IAC, MAP cleaned throttle body.
New down stream O2, new cat, new muffler ( PO chopped off after cat it sounded bad )
Installed thermostat ( still now sure why PO didn't have one installed )
Steering gear snapped bolts, replaced spacer with OCR plate. Had front end checked.
New headlights, replaced clear coat peeling hood and fender with JY stuff with good factory paint.
New fuel pump assembly ( OMG this really wasn't much fun but fixed the need to poor man prime at every start ).
YEP... it's a Jeep.
I also own a modded 05' Liberty and recently traded away a '90 Wrangler. Have also owned a 89' XJ Limited. Currently looking at obtaining a 89' Comanche.

Sounds like a good start to get it running well. Got any other plans?
