Got back from camping at Watkins Glen (Towed the Jeep). I went to the race track and did the Drive the Glen with my wife and my 2 little dogs. 3 laps - so much fun even in the jeep and the dogs didn't throw up

So your going from the 4.0 inline 6 to the infamously weak 3.8 v6. I'll be interested to hear your thoughts on that. I only know the infamously weak 3.8 v6 but it's still fun with the manual.

A couple years ago I was moving my rv from a horse farm where I stored for a few months. I open the hood and a mouse is staring at me from a hole in the fender. He disappeared back in there. All I've been able to find chewed up was the insolation sleeve that is around my battery. I will have to...

I did get ducked a couple weeks back. Still on the fence about it. don't know if ducks are in my budget after spending $$$ on accessories for the Jeep

Welcome. Get ready to start waving back. Now you'll realize just how many jeeps are out there

Having read several reports of sticky brake calipers, when I changed out my front calipers, I also replace all 4 brake lines. This seems to be an issue often that the brake lines deteriorate on the inside and prevent the calipers from relaxing. Also do a complete flush so the old stuff is out...

E-brake is old school drum so there are the springs, clips and all that stuff plus adjusting. When I did Drums I always did just one side so I could use the other side as a guide. Key with calipers is that they can slide side to side on the Pin freely so they can center and not force the inside...

You mentioned you coasted. Do you actually mean the car is able to coast? This would indicate the pads weren't sticking. One thing to look for in sticking brakes is do the offending wheels get really hot. As in the brakes are being applied on those wheels creating excess heat. Also as mentioned...

At some point the time and effort, getting rid of the old fluid, it starts to make it more attractive to have a reliably shop do it. Especially if you don't have your own garage/driveway to do it in. I do my own oil, like many here but it certainly doesn't save any $$$ but I can choose what...

With the prices of used jeeps in the 116k mile range, fixing the trans (if the the rest of the jeep is in good order) maybe a good return on investment in selling it. Also the value would be pushed up with a new/rebuilt trans. That is of course if you have the funds to fix it

Is your Oil ok, not milky? Head gasket allowing air to be pumped into the cooling system? I think of cooler heater air as thermo stuck wide open. There could be air pockets still there. I bought for my previous car a Uview airlift system that minimalized trapping air while refilling the cooling...

Does anyone have a solution to side wind from rolled down side window? It comes straight in against my face and is so distracting. If anyone remembers Flock of Sea Gules, well that is what my hair looks like after a short drive. I was wondering if those side window deflectors work. Its a 2 door...

would those running boards/steps also act as rock sliders or is that not their purpose

may have been warped rotors

I came from a 10 quart capacity sports car and I was putting 4-6k miles a year on it and it sat through the winter. So use is what I used to determined changing. Heavy use burns off much of the contaminates, gas, moisture out of the oil. When a vehicle sits with contaminated oil, that is not...

I use Mobil 1 also as it's relatively cheap and changing often (5k miles) keeps it pretty clean. Yes there are better oils out there but after 5k miles it still looks pretty clean.

Over the memorial day weekend, I gave in and told my wife, if the inside temp reaches 60 on the thermostat, she could turn the heater on. It got close at 62.

I have to think it's all about whether Jeep thinks someone can successfully get the transfer case into neutral. If the jeep is disabled you might not be able too.

That is the long version of my j22. Even the Jeep is the long version of my 2 dr

I see them on Facebook market place and craigs list. Most likely from switches to steel bumpers. They may not look new. The other thing is painting it but then it will look darker than the fenders, etc.
