So here are at on day 2. Tomorrow we get the cherry picker and swap outI am awfully lucky I have the donor. Sure opulent afford to buy new, or used even right now. But she will growl again.

Thank you. Got everything undone in the donor but the exhaust down tube, transmission, and passenger motor mount.
Tomorrow I'm starting on the receiving patient.

So the blocks broken from some muddin and wheelin. Tried to drill deeper and tap the new hole using a slightly larger bolt and it didn't really work out the way I had foreseen.
Being I have a donor jeep in the garage I'm going to pull the engine and swap it over. I've been kind of sitting back...
The bolts sheared off to the engine mount mounting bracket to the block. After closer inspection it looks like one more of the quick fixes done by the former owner.
Unfortunately when the bolts broke it broke the block. I drill ed a little deeper and tapped it but the vibration backed the bolts...
Thank you both for the info. Today I am getting under there and trying to drill and easy out the rest of the bolts that sheared off. If I can't get them out then I am going to have to do a motor swap with my donor jeep. Fingers crossed.

So I found out that the last time I hit the trails I not only broke the motor mount but sheared the bolts off in the block. Today I am going to try to drill in and easy out the broken bolts and replace with new bolts. Anybody else ever have this issue? Would it be better to remove the bolts and...
So I got it figured out. And have the replacement part on the 92 donor in my garage. Glad I have two jeeps that are compatible. Hopefully can get all the problems resolved for this weekend's cherokee dash with buddies south of Madras. This time I will post pics of the fun for everyone.

After some extreme mudding on a new trail at night I have some new issues. Twice there has been a grinding sound from passenger front. Now I need to know if anybody can help me identify what's missing from the bottom of my 94 xj, 4.0 high output.

Went on new trails with a friend in 96 xj. Hit the whoops through deep puddles with nice deep ruts. Jumped a few times coming out of deep holes. Now occasionally there is a grinding noise coming from underneath. Sounded like a broken axle. After checking I found the back half of my exhaust from...
Thank you. When I was in welding school all I wanted to do was make bumpers, roof racks and roll cages. Unfortunately there isn't enough work around here for that.

Last night hit some mud trails up in the hills east of Madras. No damage, at least to the jeep. The wife loved it. Can't wait to get another jeep so she can have fun too.

I agree with you there. I'm pretty sure you can go to oreillys and they can hook a code reader up for you so you don't need to spend un needed $
