  • Busted skidplate bolts

    all my bolts were either busted or the nuts welded from the frame rotted and need replaced... i drilled all of the holes and went through the entire frame rail and used 7in class 5 bolts to hold the skid plate... it is very strong and i have never had any problums... but drilling upside down is hell... i used a jack on my drill and used that to apply pressure to drill... it worked fine as long as its stright.... ill post pix later if u want


    good luck

  • 2.5 engine being stupid

    well today i finally got it all back together and ran it... the new gauges read 60 psi at idle and around 70psi at 2500... i have cleaned the stock oil pressure gauge but it still shows over 80 psi... i put a new gromet in the dipstick and will look where its bolted to the block later today... its not allot but engouh to cover the left side of the motor, the wirers and the fire wall... i know its not a good thing... that why im worried

  • 2.5 engine being stupid

    i have a 2.5 that was bought from ebay for 200 and i had rebuilt....
    well first off my dads friend who rebuilt it did not change the rear seal... so my transmission is sitting on the floor and i have changed the rear seal, front transmission seal, transfur case seals, and rear axle seal.... well the left side of the engine the is allways covered in oil... i have supposdly over 80 psi of pressure but im told that the gauge censor gets misled when its clogged... i also have oil coming out of my dipstick...???? i donno but now i have reworked the motor and added new gauges by sunpro and will c what happens... i also cleaned and painted my skid plate... and noticed that the holes where u bolt it to the frame were all cracked and needed to be welded... does this happen often??? or do i have bad luck.... sometime i wonder... this jeep is the most expensive vechicle i have EVER owned.... and i would never get rid of it.... a curse!
