this is a budget build. it was less expensive to get 2 tow straps than 2 aussies.

after hydrolocking the jeep. nothing major was damaged.
list of things that were replaced:
-pulgs
-wires
-cap
-rotor
-distrubitor shaft
-cam shaft position sensor
-oil pump
-oil pickup and screen
-oil change
-new front tow hook
-new tow strap

it runs now and sounds good! just needs the fuel sync to be checked to make sure we got the timing right. thanks to all who helped!

water pump went the other day. started to make a little noise the i noticed coolant slowly dripping while running.
grabbed a new pump at autozone ($35)
plan on fixing it today.

also, exploring the option of lifting further...not sure yet if i am going to. but my wife said i could if it ment it wouldnt fit in the garage any longer so that she could park in the garage haha
