Ok so here I go. Had an '88 a '94 and a '98 over the years. About to dive into my new '91 that I picked up in Nor Cal for $2k with a bad rod knock and no power but still moving. Clean body, nice 2" lift and great rubber.
Specs: '91 Trooper with 4 cyl 4ze1 and manual transmission. Plan is to start pulling the motor this weekend and get it up to Reno to Shawn Anthony for a complete rebuild. Lots of "Might as Wells" to happen. Will pull the tranny and have a local shop go through it. Definitely a new clutch and then put it all back together.
I have reasonable diy mechanical skills and great internet. Lol. I have pulled and a replaced an engine in an old CJ5 back in college 30-years ago. I'm less flexible but more patient now...
Following an old Chilton removal instruction and extra tips gathered from the forum and YouTube.
Fingers crossed! Will post updates and pics as I go for those interested. Tips and advice welcomed!
