One thing has been bothering me lately. It seems to have starting issues.
Once in a while it would crank but no spark. In other events, it wouldn't crank at all, no lights on dash, nothing.
One guy happened to stand near me when I was attempting to start it the other day and he came up to me and (it was cranking and no spark) and he said to me, "it sound like something is hitting the flywheel or something inside".
I'm gonna have to take off the inspection plate off and inspect the four flexplate bolts.
Could this indicate the Crankshaft Position Sensor is being on its way out? Or it has something to do with the starter?
All battery cables are cleaned and tightened.

One small update. Replaced the passenger mirror housing with a junkyard one.. The PO put in aftermarket glass on it, and it ain't even right. The mirror showed everything way up too close.
Passenger hinge check latch started making real loud noise and was harder to close, felt it was gonna break.
I bought this
Sprayed it on all check latches on three jeeps and the door is much easier to open and close, yay.
