Yea. I posted in the intros last week with pics of it. I like it. It's my first jeep and as soon as I drove it up my driveway I tested 4L and climbed a little in my yard lol. I think it was an awesome deal.

I plan on changing the oil this week and adding Lucas additive to try and help it stay together for a while longer

I bought one from Advance recently, and it didn't have the fittings. They also don't sell the fittings, and neither do the local hardware stores. I'm taking it back today cause I bought a better one (and cheaper) from a local mom and pop shop.
Thanks! I looked at your rollover pics......man you are blessed to be alive!

Yea it's not currently a DD. i don't want it to be. Just reliable for hauling trash, camping, wheeling and snow in the winter.

Interior needs redone, motor knock and it's got a terrible steering feeling. Lots of play.

Thanks man, Fortunately for me, the underside of mine isn't as dirty as yours so it should go on pretty good for me. Hopefully your idea works and holds for a long time! I'll probably hit this next weekend since I only have half of a tank right meow.

It's a banjo style bolt. That's the oil passage.
