So kinda early early Christmas eve morning update (MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!!) I got a spare key made for ironside, gonna try to sand out a spot on the roof and put some primer on it. I'm also going to remove the damn stickers, which thanks again guys for the tips on that, and possibly start ordering some steel for it.

Hes been doing mechanics since like 1975 and he started using 20w-50 in his trucks, especially his scouts and jeeps and never went back, I have absolutely no clue what it has had in it. I just hope it isn't 10w-40 cause according to him that oil is 👎, I just don't know how big a difference it is going to be cause all 4 of his Cherokees run 20w-50 and they run really really good, especially his 96 wheelie pulling 2 door. But I could see what happens going from 10w-30 and run it for a couple of thousand miles and then change it out for 20w-50

i think it's cause it's so thick that it gives a good layer of residual oil for start up and that initial warm up cycle. Or that's what I would imagine lol,

Of course run your preferred. I'm just a bit skeptical haha.
I found the thread that curry found that post from
https://www.cherokeeforum.com/f59/20...-run-ok-79119/
Posters there are giving saying it could be ok, but they don't run it haha. Good thread though.
