We bought this jeep about 10 years ago, it was my daughters first car, then it went to my son who is in the Marines, he got transferred to California, left it behind and his brother who is in the Navy (Norfolk) has purchaed the jeep.

It was pretty rough and i wanted my son to have a reliable ride, so I did a major top end overhaul.

Before I started, i checked the compression, it was like new and you can see the lifter assembly looked like new, there was zero build up, so i assume the block components are in equally great shape. 

The jeep runs like new.

I thought that i would share the photos and my costs. I am selling it to my son for $3500. The labor for the overhaul is free and was a labor of love.

My son is not allwed to sell it, we have too much into this jeep to have it leave the family.
