WJChris

this is the info i just got from Joe. these ARE different than the part numbers i had off the 2004 WJ parts sheet...

 

Kris,

I went to Jeep an none of those part numbers came up.... Not sure how to order them!

Now I just found this:

http://www.factorychryslerparts.com/showAssembly.aspx?ukey_assembly=540207&ukey_make=1064&ukey_model=15529&modelYear=2000&ukey_category=20309

they are OEM part numbers?? But the site linked does not provide the REV code AA, AC, AB, Ect...

thanks Kris!!

I have only used the mag covers (2 sets). Honestly, I have never seen nor tried the plastic ones. Seems logical.

Im putting in a new motor on my 04 now. As soon as I have more time and space, Ill tear into the 2000 and check the heads for flatness. Ill also order those gaskets as well.

finally, someone is making a WJ front bumper where you cut out some factory steel so you can recess the winch - but then the bumper doesn't stick out like a big nose.

could stand to sweep up in the corners more for my taste, but doesn't look too bad. also not sure why they did a million little bends - would rather see it rolled to form a smooth curve or else really just do less bends and have more severe angles (i.e. make it look more like Greg's bumper).

That REALLY needs lower radiator protection.....

Also, I know the "bubba gump" look isn't the most desirable, but it affords a certain amount of protection that is worth the "look".

any info on those valve cover gaskets??

Powertrain Products.com had the best deal on 4.7's HO and other. I highly recommend them, as their support was amazing when I cracked the block and another engine was delivered 2 days later at no cost.

thanks Kris.

Bradywgn71 (Chris!): I have also purchased a reman engine. The covers that didn't leak on the old motor leaked on the new one. I replaced the covers (BOTH sets Magnesuim, OE on my 00 WJ, non HO) and 3 gaskets (even tried RTV). Im still getting leaking. I have not checked the heads for flatness yet

The problem is that oil collects at the #8 corner of the head and it just puddles there.

 

i'll PM Joe on facebook and ask him if he has a part # for whatever he was talking about...

thanks Kris... any update?

so i have new lower control arm bushings, new "problem solver" (thicker) Mopar valve cover gaskets, a centered steering wheel, a couple new TRE boots, and a freshly greased chassis thanks to On Point Offroad & Performance.

!

More info on those valve cover gaskets please, or email of On Point... thanks.

Nice work!

Like most of your mods, I will someday "replicate" I will get to this some day.

One thought about intake... Have you considered siphoning from a lake/river/creek? I thought if you got a good enough pump, 15 or 20 feet of intake could make a really nice long hot shower.

It just bugs me to need to carry 25 gals of water just to have two 5 min showers (or more, because I have 2 girls)

preeeeetyyy

Look closer just under the drivers side headlight, compare to the passenger side.

I saw that, unsure if he removed them and blanked it off.

Stealth.

How do you guys gauge the depth before entering the water?? I guess you just pucker up and head in???
