That's awesome. The body looks great - how's the frame? Is it the 4 or 6 cylinder? I'm going to make my guess : bad fuel pump.

My neighbor was doing a spark plug change on his wife's car, which I believe is a Hyundai. The threads actually broke off of the spark plug. We talked about it for a little bit and I ended up getting a large easy out and we were able to twist the threads out. I was wondering is there a better...

I have no idea if it's good or not, but all the guys on youtube seem to use bottles like this to add fuel: https://www.amazon.com/Allstar-Performance-ALL40090-Primer-Bottle/dp/B009Q74MWK If you're serious, you could try something like this...

That's great man. I'm glad that you are pointed in the right direction.

I've got the shroud / gasket on the radiator, and it's not cut or broken (I actually just replace that too). I've got a Motorad thermostat in there now - the only one that I could find with the hole in it is the Mopar one...

I think this may be it (or at least similar) https://www.amazon.com/Salty-Captain-Chassis-Grenade-Undercarriage/dp/B0DZ8QK3GS/

That's awesome. I hit mine with the pressure washer every now and then, but that looks like a much simpler (and maybe more effective) solution.

I had done the radiator years ago (it is an aftermarket one) - I'm not exactly sure what you mean by radiator gaskets. I did the water pump almost two years ago, and the fan clutch less than a year ago. I don't think I've ever done the thermostat, and it looked like it, rusty on both sides. It...

Looks great man! Does the hard top need a hoist to get off, or is it manageable with a couple of people?

I took the family to the 2025 Jeep Jamboree in upper Pennsylvania. It was a blast! I was able to get two Jeep badge of honor badges, one for Barney Rubble trail and one for Fern Ridge trail. The trip started off on the wrong foot. I had made it 2 hours out of Virginia when the temperature began...

Is it just cranking but not starting? Are you sure that it's ignition, and not something else like fuel? Maybe throw alittle gas or starting fluid down the carb? If you've done all this work, it may be worth the time to verify your firing order, and the condition of your battery terminals.

I returned both of those bottles to Amazon, and ended up getting some Permatex threadlocker. After reading a bit, it looks like Permatex bought Loctite, and they are basically the same thing. I've started using the Permatex orange. It claims to be high strength while removable by hand tools...

1.5 quarts is right on the money. I really love this fluid extractor, it made this job so easy. I've got aftermarket skid plates and I would have had to drain the fluid right onto the skid plate. I was able to unscrew the fill plug and suck all the fluid out right through that.

My owner's manual doesn't specify what fluid to use in my transfer case. I've done some google / youtubing and it looks like I should put about 2 quarts of ATF+4 in it. I haven't changed the fluid in my tcase in about 10 years, so I imagine it's time. Anyone able to verify this is correct...

Thanks for the followup. Is this a factory connector (as far as you can tell)?
