Nice looking Jeep! Welcome.

The main issue I have here is that there are just too many handicapped spaces. The law probably says some percentage of parking spaces have to be marked handicapped, but the grocery store I go to has eight handi spaces and I never see more than two being used.

If you can get the small parts, great, or try eBay and junkyards. A junkyard probably won't part with just pieces of the frame unless the rest of it is banged up. Bestop's Supertop comes with a new frame but then it costs more than the Replace-a-top and the skin only works with the Supertop...

Because Steelers fans are smarter than non-Steelers fans, obviously.:shades: www.steelernation.com My s/n is ronburgundy on the board. Checked the Jeep's oil today, it is still on the full mark with Max Life in it. I didn't check the miles but my daughter is in college and does not put on a...

Probably, yeah. Different oils have different additive packages, especially Rotella since it is diesel-rated. Jeep engines tend to throw off a lot of iron anyway, so this bears out my theory that diesel motor oil is a good fit for Jeeps.

Here is the Used Oil Analysis I mentioned earlier (just got it back). You will see that the wear metals with Rotella were lower than with plain Pennzoil and that the lil ol' 2.5 just crushed the viscosity of the Pennzoil, probably from the high rpm...

Thanks, I might have to try that. Ours has, or had, some huge rust flakes inside the frame that I could see. I ended up drilling a few 1/4" holes along the bottom just to let the water out better.

S'all right, it just makes you look hard-core. :lol:

I someone wants to steal your Jeep or anything in it all they have to do is unzip the windows anyway. I put door edge guards on the bottom of the doors so they don't scratch when I set them down. To be legal you will still need to attach a rearview mirror somewhere. There are relocation kits...

Looks good! The Lizard Skin will only stick as well as the stuff it is attached to. Westley's Bleach White tire cleaner is great for anything rubber or vinyl, not just tires. Scrub the tires with that, rinse, and put Armor All on when they dry.

I'd advise changing ALL the fluids. Coolant unless it looks pretty fresh, oil of course, but also the axles, transfer case, brake, and power steering fluid. A full transmission flush on a 168k mile transmission is probably a bad idea unless you know for sure that it's been rebuilt. I would...

Had a lighter than usual turnout here but it was raining.

Congrats!!! Bestop is probably the best soft top but costs a little more. I got the top-of-the-line sailcloth top because it gets cold and snows here, in TX you would probably be okay with a regular canvas top. You will need to get their Supertop if you need the hardware too, it comes with...

Rotella is a diesel-spec oil, meaning among other things it has more zinc in it that flat tappet lifters in older engines like. The govt required zinc content to be lessened because it fouls catalytic converters when the engine burns oil. With roller lifters the lack of zinc is not a problem...

I bought our 97 two years ago with 142k on it, very clean in and out, 4-banger automatic, used car lot was asking $4500 and I paid $4200 as I recall.

I have a genuine 1970's leisure suit, powder blue, that I got on eBay a couple years ago. Depending on what the wife has in mind I will wear that or the two of us will sometimes put on black suits, sunglasses, carry a pair of silver painted water cannons I have, and go as Men In Black. Pub...

Sales per dealer. How many dealers they have? 5?

Our is a 97 4-banger auto and it's fine for cruising around in for my daughter. It is the least desirable model though, so they come cheap. :D MPG is horrible for a 4-banger though. Upside, they run forever.

In my case the NAPA catalog lists the wrong seal. My mechanic replaced it twice (I work near a NAPA store so I picked them up myself), then he told me he'd get one right from the Jeep dealer, which fit fine and doesn't leak.
