Thanks, I will check them out. Free shipping is the reason I stay local as most online charge shipping. Also like keeping business local as well.
I sometimes pay a couple dollars extra on some items but still save a ton with no shipping charges.

It's actually a dealership but they don't charge shipping, even international is free.
I've found that they are still cheaper than my local dealership.
They might even expedite the shipping for you for free if you really need it fast.
Josh the parts guy is great. email/call him for help.
I live in AZ so my stuff comes in next day.
I think I got twotowings and profdlp ordering from them too.

Engine is running... :emoticondancer:
The wiring was pretty straight forward, but really had to pick my brain when it came to the vacuum lines since it had been over a year since
I had torn it apart. After buttoning everything up and filling all fluids I turned the key in the on position twice to prime the fuel system, cranked her over and fired without hesitation.
No dash lights or check engine lights on!! :icon_smile:
Runs quiet, idles and revs very smooth as it should so that's a big plus.
I let it run for an hour in the shop while I added HOAT coolant as needed, and confirmed the cooling system operating properly. I put the transmission into drive and reverse to make sure all was good in that department as well.
All I have left is have someone help me bolt the hood back on.
Big thanks to JeepKJ for the abundance of resources they provided to me along the way and also a Big thanks to TwoBobsKJ for the great engine swap write up that educated me on the swap and for answering all my questions. (woot)

No codes? That might be a first - it seems like there's always something.

Great work!
Had a tonsillectomy last Monday, so haven't done much with the Liberty other than sourcing parts for my lift. Hopefully I'll have it legal by the end of the week and get the exhaust bolted back up. I will be turning the Liberty into my daily and selling my current vehicle as soon as she's on the road... Can't wait!!
Here's wishing you a speedy recovery, lots of ice cream, and a legal Jeep soon. :favorites13:
Funny, I bought a tub of ice cream but haven't touched it. Been on an ice pop diet. Luckily, hasn't been as rough of a recovery as I thought. Cheers!!

Surgeries never come at a good time, do they?
Let us know when you're legal and on the road :waytogo:

With a new baby girl arriving on the 1st, they sure don't come at a good time!! I could have waited til after, but figured I should do it before as I will need to be 100 when shes born. Yesterday was 2 weeks post op and now feeling well. The Jeep is going for inspection today and hopefully will be running the roads after work. My 2 year old son is just as anxious as I am to drive the "Beep" as he calls it... So cute!! :icon_smile:
Been driving the Jeep for a few days now. :happy107: New engine purrs!! Getting 4 mpg or better with the engine vs. the old. Second day check engine light came on for a evap leak so I gotta get underneath and check all the hoses. Don't believe it's the gas cap but may replace it as well. Got a lead on a front drive shaft so going pick that up today as well as a rear privacy glass with struts for dirt cheap. The little balls where the struts mount to the glass are broke off on mine.

so I was thinking long term goals w/ my libby.
It's currently eating oil, not burning it.
I have zero engine mech. knowledge.
what is the best and affordable solution?
rebuild or replacement?
Thanks!

keep the oil sump full and drive it!
u shouldn't think about high price options until it uses 1 quart in 500 miles. the dealer won't even warranty a engine until its down to 1 quart in 800 miles.
Thank-you
How much is the engine consuming and what is your mileage again? My original engine with 200k consumed about 1 quart in the 1000 miles that I drove it before she blew but never smoked a bit on start up or while driving. I would say if its still performing well and not puking out any smoke, I would continue driving it as is. I would get as many miles as you can before swapping out. Should that time come though I would go for a newer low mileage salvage engine. When taking in account that things are worn and can be close to being out of spec you could start dumping alot of coin into a rebuild if need boring and crank grinding etc. etc. and other unexpected parts needing replacement.
