Picked this up Thursday night/Friday morning. I got home around 3:00AM after a 2 hour drive home in it. The way to get it was the coldest I've ever been 2.5 hours riding in 25* weather.
It was dark so these are the only pics I have until later on when it light outside.

Well I've had my Jeep for 2.5 weeks and here is the list of problems I've found.
#1 Transfer case is toast-Fixed
#2 Front axle is toast
#3 Sunroof leaks-Fixed clogged drain line.
#4 Drivers side rear door has a bad short in the wiring. Won't lock and the window wont move.
#5 Hatch has a short in the door lock wiring. Silinode just twitched all the time.-unplugged
#6 Battery is toast due to #5 running for 3 days.
#7 carpet is toast- don't care its coming out and roll on bed liner is going in.
#8 Fuel filter needs to be replaced. Because I found out the gas gauge is a bit off and I ran out of gas and sucked up some trash and now it sputters when I get on it hard.
As of today #1, 3, 5 are fixed. I just got the new T case in and bolted up. I have a new/used axle sitting on my floor right now and I'm going to start installing it today. Also my adjustable lower control arms came in this morning. My goal is to be able to get this truck in some trails this weekend.
No T case. Damn its dirty under there every time you hit anything it rains dirt.

Old T case.

New/used T case its dirty but I tested it before I pulled it so I know it works.

New/used axle.

This one came out ok
http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o288/cordiaturboowner/jeep/0319101246a.jpg
Ok well its 10PM and I've been working since 11AM I think its time to call it a night.
All thats left to do is fuel filter, adjust T-case linkage(2wd is at 4hi - 4hi is at N - N is at 4lo - 4lo doesn't work) and remove the spring spacers from rear springs the last owner installed. I did take it for a quick ride around the neighborhood and drove up the rock across from my house and the 4wd does work and the tires do not scrub.

Took it out for its first real off road test after replacing the T case, front axle and all the steering components. I can finally drive it above 30MPH:goodjob: took her up to 70+/- and it was smooth and straight. I only got one pic on the trail and didn't notice my GoPro's batterys were dead. It didn't even last 1 min before it cut off.:???:

Been at it for an hour and 15min and got the oil drained, oil pan off and rear main cap off... doesn't look like I'll be hitting the trails tonight.LOL My wallet hurts I've sent $220 at autozone and still need a few things...
