Unnecessary '96 Build Thread
Oh yeah, that t6 oil is amazing stuff.
Used it in my old TJ, and it cured my rough idle, helped my RMS leak less, and increased fuel mileage from 13mpg to 15-16mpg. I don't know why it's so much better, but the I6 4.0 LOVES that stuff. Get it at Walmart and it's a bit cheaper than an auto parts store.
Really nice jeep OP. I love the 2 doors.

There's the video, I'm really happy with the way it sounds.
I'll be doing it on my next XJ for sure.

Keeping this post for myself as a "to-do" list before I sell:
I'm hoping to get $2,500 out of this when it comes time to sell, but I'd settle at $2,000... meh.
- gear oil
- detail engine bay
- wash, clay bar, wax
- pull carpets and pressure wash
- motor mounts (brown dog rubber)
- trans mounts (??? I don't even know what brand is good... again, want to go with rubber. More concerned with not having vibrations.)
- up/downstream o2 sensors
- possibly replace cat? likely not.
- take it to a body shop and get a quote on fixing the driver fender

Hrm. Interesting, didn't know that. I'm actually re-thinking it and I'll probably go with OEM style mounts. I'd rather save the cash since I'll be selling when I can.
If you can't tell, the specifics of what I plan to do change quite often. Lol.
