Loaded up the recovery gear. If anybody is in the area, you are invited to join us on the 24th. We're planning to run Medano Pass.

Being well cared for is why you're looking at a rebuild at 200K, rather than 100K. I've used Blueprint Engines for a lot of swaps. There are plenty of others, but I am most familiar with Blueprint. I used one of their LS3's as the basis for my Corvette build. A V8 swap is always the best...

With 200K on the clock, you're going to want to strip it down to a bare block. Machine the block, and resurface the heads. You'll want valves and valve springs. Machining the block will require new pistons. There's a good chance you will need a new cam, and a fair chance you'll need a crank...

Doesn't look like you can. Bummer.

I had a Bestop on my YJ and wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

If you're actually be underwater, you will need longer vents. What I did was run the hose into the engine bay. Grab a filter like you put in your valve covers. Plug the hose into that and mount it high on the firewall. If that goes underwater, you're likely to have worse worries than your gears.

I've got Motobilt on the 392 and Poison Spyder on the JL. I think this is one of those times when the brand isn't particularly important.

Order whatever flares you like. Then grab some LEDs from Amazon. I got these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09BVK1LMD?tag=wranglerorg-20

Plus one on swapping the speakers.

5.7L and 6.1L Hemi casting numbers are on the front of the block, drivers side. 6.4L Hemi has BG or BGE cast into the side or rear of the block. The transmission will have casting numbers as well, but finding out what engine you have will give you a starting point.

Ordered a new TIPM for Mrs. Dogs JKUR.

You will likely be OK with the 35's, but you'd be better off with 4.25"-4.5" backspacing. You're probably going to rub some with 37's. What differential gears do you have? The non-Rubicons typically have 3.23 or 3.73 gears. If you don't regear, the Jeep will be annoying with 35's and a total...

The obvious. Get a 2.5" or higher lift.

I just download them to my phone. Carplay takes care of the rest.

I've had good luck with Gaia, but I'm mostly using TrailsOffroad lately.

JKs do not have this feature. JLs do. You can access it through the settings menu on the infotainment system, or with JScan or the Tazer JL-Mini. They're not "always on" though. They turn on if the temp is less than 40F, and you can choose between coming on with all starts, remote starts, as...

I used my new Morrflate system. Excellent system.

The sensor can't read the temp if it's in an air bubble. And the Jeep will never, ever, burp itself.

If you don't elevate the nose, you will never get all the air pockets out.
