    Thanks guys for your approval - I'm really excited about the Jeep. First line of order is to check this timing belt and tensioners. She's makes a slight squeak. If it's not that I'll check the water point. I need her in full mechanical operation with no nuisances before I start the mods, which probably wont start for a couple months. She drives just so amazing right now, really pleased..

    "GreenGiant" : Update

    In my previous post I noted she was squealing and that AC was not cold. Fixed BOTH problems in 15 mins. Dumped some Freon in her... ICE COLD now... and sprayed some Belt conditioner on her. No squeaks, ice cold ac... I can hear that engine rumble! Going to continue to drive her to squeeze out as many issues as I can before lifting and tires.

    The center-display stopped working - SOOO - I need to check the fuses, relays, and wiring - but I don't know much about ZJ's electronics so I've just been doing a lot of reading.

    Thanks Mates. The Squeal returned this afternoon so I went and got a new serpentine belt - and replaced it. Took about 15 mins. Very easy to do on the 5.2L more of a pain on the 4.0HO's. Then I drove her hard for about 45 mins.
