My wife and I finally made it to our place in Florida after a long wait hoping to get the COVID vaccine. That meant my '08 Jk was left sitting in the garage for 9 months. I changed the oil, cleaned both the inside and out, topped off the gas tank, hooked to a battery maintainer, and covered...

You are welcome, just passing on a bit of info I came across while searching for something else.

I would also check the coolant level.

Nice looking JKU, sounds like you are going to carry on the tradition of Jeep (Just Empty Every Pocket) as you move forward with your mods.😁

Looks like Bentley boy is trading up to a Jeep, good choice.:giggle:

Looking at the carfax it does show it had 6 previous owners. That in itself is not a bad thing, however, you may want to look at the length of ownership to see if it was handed off quickly for the last few owners. The other thing to keep in mind is that being a Sahara pushes the price up...

Two is always better then one ;)

It looks like I will be changing plugs and wires :giggle:

Yes, all too true. You are not going to win any races but like most things you adjust. 😉

You may want to reach into the frame with you fingers to get a better idea of the rust and if there is any crud in there. If its surface rust, it can be cleaned off and the frame repainted. If your referring to the underside of the Jeep's body, that can be repaired within reason meaning it...

I picked up a 2008 last year with 136500, so far I am very happy with it. If you can have it looked over by a mechanic that would be helpful. Other then that if it looks clean, drives and runs well, and of course the price is right it may be worth buying. There are no guarantees with any used...

"This product allows a number of Jeep owners to program their vehicle for backup / rear view camera. Installation is simple and takes only a few minutes. Simply install your backup camera to your factory radio screen then plug this Genie programmer into your vehicle's OBDII port (under your...

Wow, I didn't know there was a Jeep love child :giggle:

Nice Jeep! Remember Jeep is short for "Just Empty Every Pocket";)

I have the weathertech laser fit front mats.

So I decided none of the above. We rarely see temps in the upper 90`s and I don't tow anything but a 6' utility trailer and that's short distances and seldom. This eliminates the need for 75w145. However, the temps do get very cold in the winter so I'm going to use Mobil 1 75w-90 full...

I do live in the North East where is does get and currently is cold so I'm thinking I will go with the 75w140 Synthetic oil in both the front and rear differentials.

I am getting ready to Change my front and rear differential oil and looking at what is recommended. I have a Dana 30 in the front and a Dana 44 rear. The chart shows I can use 80w90 in both or 80w90 front, 75w145 rear. I was going to do the latter, however is there any harm using 75w145 in...

Does your JK have an auto trans? If so, you may want to check the fluid level. Some people were having a problem with their jeeps shutting down when put in reverse. It had to do with low trans fluid affecting the torque converter. It is a bit different then what you are experiencing but...

Welcome back, and hopefully you will be able to "climb in it" for many years to come.
