    Best process to fix these scratches?

    Door sills? Clean the area according to the paint pen and give it shot. When you decide you don't like that, you can sand the whole area until smooth, primer it and spray it with fresh paint. Not sure if that paint is dual stage, if so, you will need a clear coat also. It will not match the...

    Desperately Need Tone Ring for 2005 2.4

    Seems to be a hard to find part. Either find one at a junkyard, or see if you can flatten the one you have enough to work properly.

    Where did all this fluid come from?

    That atf is contaminated with water. Maybe check the tc vent and see how it is routed and if it is missing the cap.

    Bought my first Jeep, but it needs alterations (or I need to find a different TJ)

    Hmm. Rear discs on a 2003. I can't tell, but is that a drop pitman arm? Regardless, a TJ on 35s will get about 15 mpg. What are you seeing?

    Long crank on cold start

    How did the coil test out? Free, just a few minutes with a meter. This will let us know if there is a weak spark on start up.

    OEM throttle body for the 4.0 discontinued

    Go to the junkyard and see what you can find. Probably going to be in similar shape as your original, but better than nothing. XJs or WJs should have something that will work and are usually more available than wranglers.

    Long crank on cold start

    Can you test your coil? From what I have read, a weak coil could cause the symptoms, but I really don't know. Testing values And did I hear a bunch of radio whine when you started it in the video?

    A/C not working and a question for Mark at Wrangler Fix about ECUs

    I am sure you know, but don't do it at the relay, do it at the switch itself.

    A/C not working and a question for Mark at Wrangler Fix about ECUs

    Jumper the low pressure switch to see if the compressor engages. If it does, most likely low refrigerant. If it doesn't, then start the ac troubleshooting in the workshop manual.

    Does your horn work?

    Long crank on cold start

    I would suspect some leaky injectors. It has to clear the excess fuel before it will start. Opening the butterfly allows more air, which will help clear the excess fuel.

    What are these oil leak(s) and what should I do about them?

    First step is the leaking water pump. Fix that first, then worry about the oil leaks. No, don't drive it until you fix the water pump, or you can ruin your engine.
