interested in part number for that special filter, the only one i have is 5281090... and the local parts counter guy would look for a piston return spring in the computer for an hour if i let him, so he's no help.

ordered a new engine... http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/67068-4.7L-HO-Grand-Cherokee-with-combustion-leak-what-to-do

here's what i've decided to do and how i arrived at that conclusion (i offer this long winded post for any that might face a similar predicament): first of all, keep in mind i originally cooked this engine to the point that it temporarily seized and wouldn't turn over at all and had smoke...

i also don't usually like the extreme HDR, but i have played with the effect some when stylizing photos:

yes, used are $2k-$2,500 - but most have nearly 100k on them, so i was looking at rebuilt monday i'm going to get someone with electronic sniffer to double verify my results and then call some places about heads and/or engines

could just be gasket, but my research indicates that usually with much overheating the aluminum heads warp - so just expecting to find the worst and planning ahead on what to do. also, found a lower priced reman engine - $3,300 - anyone ever used this company...

130K miles on it, combustion leak, and i want to keep the jeep for a long time... what should i do (heads only, new engine, etc)? looks like HO head kit is gonna be over a grand, a fully reman'd longblock is $4,500, or a used engine with 90k on it is $2,500-ish background - overheated a while...

yes, more pics from the area here: http://offroadpassport.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1328 you go up from the front side, turn left at the saddle, take the next left, then a right, then a left ;) and yeah, we have a kodiak canvas for the whole family, the tentcot is just when i go solo - it...

i bought some waterproof material from ebay and a upholsterer friend sewed me up a giant roll-top dry bag to put the whole thing in and so now it can stay on the roof rack even if it's raining on the trip (out of the way).

just an update on the kamp-rite oversize tentcot - spent the night in it on top of 4 peaks the other weekend in probably some of the worst rain i've ever camped in and no leaks. lots of condensation, but that's to be expected with anything that small and cool air outside and a mouth-breather...

yeah, i'm Kristoffer - but i should let Matt keep thinking i'm "Kev" since he wants to steal my jeep ;)

quick overnight camping at 4-Peaks...

hey thanks for the kind words about the build! and yes, the GF is very understanding! so much so that she just sold her 2wd trailblazer and bought a 05 4wd liberty renegade last month! her first question when she saw it on the lot was "can we get rid of the wimpy tires and put on all-terrains?"...

looking good man! stance is a little narrow, but that will keep the mud under the flares i guess! any plans to run spacers or are you already?

from last night on top of 4 Peaks, AZ:

rock lights...
