Well, I feel pretty foolish. Found out the real reason the Jeep died, and it's really stupid. Turns out my fuel was just too low! Enough gas to drive around fine but when I took a corner sharp and hit the gas it conked out. Had it happen to me again, so I filled it up to give it a try and everything works fine. Oh well doens't hurt to have replaced it anyways.
No, it works but apparently when it's in the red it's just about on fumes. It's weird though since it doesn't sputter or anything like it's running out of gas.
Swapped the Transfer case fluid at work. That stuff was nasty! Once I get enough motivation I'm gonna swap the front and rear gear oil too since I'm sure that's pretty nasty as well.
Swapped out the MAP sensor today. Took about 5 minutes and seems to be doing okay. Next on the list of general maintainence will be some fresh plugs and wires.
New sensor
Its been failing to even turn over lately unless I jiggle the shift lever or put it in nuetral, and I have no reverse lights even with a fresh bulb, so it looks like the NSS might be getting swapped out too.
A front winch bumper and winch should be in the works in a couple of weeks. Waiting until it's warmer out so I can properly paint it. Gonna get affordable offroads winch bumper with prerunner bars.
Also have some really annoying squeaking coming from the front driveshaft, so I guess it's time to replace the centering yoke too... Probably going to replace all three U-Joints while I'm tearing it apart.
Purchased the Elite prerunner winch bumper from affordable off-road, as well as an IRO steering box spacer so that stuff should be in in a few days here. I plan on coating the bumper in POR-15 and using their topcoat to finish it off to prevent it from rusting.
first thing is.... if what your painting is not rusty it will not stick. it is to paint over rust not nice metal also it has no uv protection so shortly after you paint it ,it will turn chalky and white
