What did you do to your TJ today?

Changed the oil:

@Jerry Bransford - going completely against my gut but going with Jerry's rec that modern Pennzoil isn't the sludgy crap it was 30 years ago (which is echoed by other research I was able to do), so in it went! The 6th quart was Quaker State as Wal*Mart didn't have the Pennzoil in quarts - nor the Quaker State in 4 or 5 quart bottles for that matter. Also upgraded to the 1 qt Wix 51515 because I could.
Shit, my luck is your engine's now gonna blow tomorrow! 🤣

Is it just me or is having to buy a single quart at twice the price bugging the mess out of you guys too?

It’s sort of like hotdogs come in packs of 10 and buns in packs of eight.

the extra dogs are for burning and/or theft by the pooch.

Dunno about the oil thing, but I agree it's annoying. You could get around it by ordering 6, 5 qt jugs 😅
 
Had a killer weekend, drove it everywhere I could, and a place or two I wasn’t supposed to.😁

Grandson, monster trucks, friends, food , really fine time to have a jeep.

Removed my bug deflector. It was actually just for covering up paint defects. I'm going to wrap the hood, fenders and windshield frame with some 3M flame red vinyl when the humidity gets below 95%.

I bought some skateboard deck cover, I might give it a try given I cant get the Vinyl fender thingies here!
I did a test patch and it doesn't peel my paint off when removing it,.
All that's missing on your TJ now is a chrome front Grille :)

Buttoned up all the parts I removed and replaced chasing this no start issue. Still, no start. Cranks and fuel smell. 👌

I just pick up all my oil in 5 quart jugs. Between leaks popping up and keeping it around for the next oil change it just makes sense to me.
