I really like the yellow.

 

yeah on a picture taken from far away with forks in your eyes it does look OK actually....

I am planning on doing the fender and 1/4 panel in bed coating too... I sprayed paint some (the black on the corner) and it is doing good... actually i even took a wire brush to it to see how resistant it is... barely scratched it

 

I like it Steph. I cant wait to see it all finished. What kind of bed liner did you go with?

 

So some one tell me all the fluids types I need to buy? Transmission? Oil and filter? Transfer case? Axles?

 

5W-30 oil in winter
Manual trans. 75W-90 GL-5 Gear lube
Aw4 trans DexIII
Transfer case DexIII
Dana 30 and 35 diffs 80W-90 GL-5 gear lube
Oil filter, check with the parts store

These are from my Haynes manual and are the recomendations for normal use, the weights vary if your going to be towing or for heavy use. Look for a Haynes or Chilton manual on Ebay, a manual is a must have.

it is the rustoleum bed coating in spray.... I am really impressed how well it is holding considering I put just a thin coat.....

 

Thanks for the info I found a haynes manual for it now lol. Now I just need to find a transfer case for the ax15 when I buy it next weekend. Are they expensive and how do I know what to buy 21t or 23t? On carports.com there are two different ones.

 

23 spline output to tcase I have the 231j, I would go to a do it yourself yard for the tcase they are to easy to pull to pay more money for someone else to pull it for ya.

 

haynes or Chiltons are great but they give infos that are different sometimes, I have both.
I found more info's online actually on diverse websites including the write-ups / stickies on this forum.

 

So true!! When are ya gonna come wheeling again steph?

 

when money is not as tight, when time is available and overall when I am done fixing the little things that keep bugging me with the jeep
But that was an experience and I enjoyed it so obviously it is going to happen some day

 

Hey everyone, I was told to check the thread out if i wanted to be a member of the ATR offroad club. Right now I live in Pleasant Grove, but ive lived all over the state, and even Alaska. Im 19, my Cherokee was my first vehicle at 16, now its a bit of a toy, but still my daily driver. Anyway, I guess thats it...hope to get to know some of you guys a little better.
