On the way to church low coolant light came on. Stopped added a little coolant made it to church the coolant light came back on. Had to stop on the way home and add a little more. Well she parked for now. Not sure if I fix or sell as is. I'm going to think on it a little while. looks like 3500 to 4200 to fix right. If I could get another couple of years might be worth it. |

Did it ever overheat? If not then you're probably ok w/ just the gasket. If yes you're likely looking at a new head. Also make sure whoever does the work has done it before. My dealer screwed it (head replacement) up twice. |

Thinking might just sell and upgrade to a larger rig. Twin girls are getting bigger by the day. |

When my 2 get older trying to take all of us skiing or camping in the KJ would be tight. There are a couple for sale on jeepforum.com
