Changed the rear gate latch. I was intermittent but mostly not working. Got it at AutoPartsMopar for $207 including shipping. It was really easy to replace, three bolts, connector, and a little arm going to window release. Works like a champ and the new part was made in Canada, not China.

Replaced the passenger window regulator so I can drive it to work finally [emoji23] too cold in the mornings for it to be down.

Also found more leaks tonight [emoji24]

Gotta fix em just one by one....

Wow, I've done both my rear ones and one side twice but never a front one.

OMG! VVS. That was some funny shit right there! At first I thought WTF are you posting, he must of clicked the wrong link, I actually X'd out right away and then for some reason I was drawn back and clicked it again! That emoticon where the smiley burst out laughing and spews coffee at the computer, well that actually almost happened.

EDIT: watched it again.

So, gigantic update time!

1 month ago:
Began reassembly of engine
  • Got crankshaft polished,
  • gauged bearing tolerances
  • assembled pistons
  • dropped in crankshaft and pistons
  • attached heads
  • assembled timing chain (what a pain in the butt!)

3 weeks ago:
  • attached timing chain cover
  • exhaust manifolds
  • motor mounts
  • new transmission front seal

Last Sunday:
  • dropped the engine in the Jeep!
  • accidentally cut open the front drive shaft boot (whoops)

Today:
  • bolted engine to bell housing
  • bolted flex plate to torque converter
  • bolted on structural cover
  • added knock sensors
  • installed new spark plugs

Pics from dropping the engine!

Think I may have just made a deal to sell both the 02 Renegade and the 04 . Hate to see them go but clearing out more parts and KJs for next project.

We got no Hope, no Cash, no Jobs.
If we lose Bacon and Mudd, we're done for.
