Been at the mounds for an hour. Decided to kick the wife and kids out and have a lil unrestrained fun. Hit a few mud holes and was doing good. Aimed for one not knowing how deep it was and gunned it. Sunk the nose under water. It popped the nose out and died. Got a pull out to drier ground pulled the plugs turned it over to get the water out and it started puking antifreeze out of number six.
BIG THANKS TO ANDY FOR THE TOW HOME YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER.
I have made my first walk of shame. Thank you everyone for all the help.
Will know in the next few days how bad it is. I am hoping it is just a head gasket.
No problem, glad I could help.
well if you need it I'll sell you a motor I have just needs lower end work lost oil press and scored crank. sounds like your gonna be needing a block :(
I sank my xj at the mounds, pretty much did the same thing hit a hole made the nose through and then done, except mine put a 3 inch hole in the block, and cracked the cam in three pieces,
Hope yours isn't as bad!!!
It turning over and is not making any funny noises. The family friend that is fixing it and his buddy seem to think it just blew the head gasket out around number six . Crossing my fingers.

I bought the jeep because I wanted to go places my bronco was not able to fit. So far I'm happy and part are easy to find and cheep. But my bogger build will be another bronco or 70s ford. But that is a few years down the road.

Now I know i should have checked the hole first but my better judgement (the wife) was standing at the hole and hill with the kids and I said to myself p00 it dont look that deep.WRONG AGIAN
it cant be the hole im thinking about . to the left of michigan and next to the trees coming from the rocks?
thats what i am thinking. mudmans hole is what i am thinking.

we trashed a tranny on a 97 ZJ when our better judgement took a back seat to oh he;; we can make it. what happened was that we got stuck in a water hole when we axeled on some deep ruts and sucked up water in the vent hole.
it's that deep little hole right there by where we all park. just to the left of hole in hill if you're coming from Michigan
Oh I will never get this lucky agian. Just a blown head gasket on the number six cylinder. Looks like I might be able to make it the mounds.
we busted that hole for you last sat. i wouldnt try it now if i was you lol.....
hi im his better judgement(THE WIFE!) maybe next time you'll lision......LOVE YOU :P ==nana lovee kisss
