Nice XJ dude. Make sure you stay active and come to the next meeting.

And there are definitely some resources here for cherokees, in particular 2 doors.

Hydro-exploded first motor:

Hmmm... Looks familiar

And nice exhaust pipe snorkel man I've got all the parts ready to make me one whenever I get all the more important issues figured out. Same ARB top too and mine was inspired by a drowned 4.0 as well. Luckily mine didn't hydrolock/explode though, at least not until about 2 years later for no apparent reason...

Nice inexpensive build though. You really need to chat with my roommate (John Stables) about cheap/free XJ building
