Oh that is good to know, there is absolutely some gunk on the front one. Latest is that I was still getting splatters everywhere, and in a fit of midnight insomnia I decided to get (another) new radiator cap, because that was the only thing I could think of in the coolant system that didn't get...

You have great taste, sir!

Everyone has been really nice so far, and that's why I wasn't afraid to join. We all love one thing, and we want everyone else to love it too. That's what makes a group of folks great, in my limited experience. TJ owners are a different breed ;)

That was my thoughts, too. A pinprick, under high pressure, at the front of the engine, could spray it like this and send it that far back. Obviously not pictured, but the fuse box, battery, all that has splatters too. But with everything new and seemingly working well and passing the pressure...

Pressure tested the coolant system to hell and back with nothing to come from. Gonna wipe it all down good and see what happens over the next couple weeks driving daily while keeping an eye on all the fluids. In the meantime I'm gonna look into that combustion gas test and the rest; I want to be...

Honestly, the plan right now is keep it running long enough to graduate and get a real job to start stepping things up. And then, fix things as they break with better things. Upgrade the audio, cause I love music (when I'm not at highway speeds). Fenders are on the list, as are bumpers and...

I think so too! I got some guff that I should have gone with newer, higher trim even if it had more miles, but I have no regrets about this one. The only thing I never figured out is where this one got the aftermarket Texas Off-Road Edition decal, but the internet gave me no clues back in those...

My dad's old car is a 2000 Toyota Sienna with 210k on the clock, I think I'll have to pry it from his cold dead hands at this point.

Haha I should know better than to mention subie in a jeep forum! Let it be known, I ain't getting rid of this bad boy for anything less than an identical jeep with lower miles, which would be pretty dang hard to come by at this point in time. My poor dad never understood why I got it in the...

Wilco

I've had my eye on a Crosstrek for my next vehicle, in part because Subaru still makes fun colored cars and some of their blues are really pretty.

I mean, I have one of those too, but he generally stays out of the jeep and sticks to the boxes parts come in instead.

At the time I was buying I had the option between a white 04 Sahara with 110k and the yellow 03 Sport with 74k and my teenage brain didn't even consider the white Sahara. Now I'm hooked, and I wish more car companies did fun colors like Jeep does...I don't think I can switch to a black or white...

I know a guy who works on diesels and I bet he has the gear to run some of those tests, I'll hit him up. I hate to take my jeep by cause he's always asking when I'm gonna throw a cummins in it, but he can probably help with this. Stupid question alert, but what is "cats" in this context? I've...

I've been lurking on the forum for a few months now, but decided to take the plunge and join up now that I've run into a problem I can't solve with the amazing guides. I run a 99% stock 2003 4.0 Manual in the greatest color Jeep ever made (I'm biased). I've had it since 2013 as my daily...
