Don't be an ***. Tell us what you want to know! Saying fluids, belts, etc, is yes obvious, but what fluids you talking about?

What motor?? Inline 6? 4 banger? Come one man, instead of pasting what you put the first time, stop bein obnoxious, and type it out.

Ok well here's an idea, replace ALL fluids, replace spark plugs/wires/caps, replace belt and radiator hoses.

If it's been sitting 5 1/2 years, maybe a oil change would be good too? That's what I'd do if my XJ sat for a while

After 5 1/2 years. ALL fluids need to be changed, including fuel and brake fluid. Porbably need to replace anything made of rubber, hoses and belts. Plugs if corroded. Plug wires, clean intake and injectors. Tire air rotation, headlight fluid, muffler bearings are a MUST, also.

I get the point guys wasnt tryin to be an *** sorry

So what im mean is basically i'm gonna change everthing like oil, power steering, wires, plugs, and the belt, but should i change it all out cause how long its been out of comission, will the fuilds go stale from sitting . It has 50,000 miles on it. My questions are
1. should i change the trans fuild and gaskets, cause it sat so long.
2. should i change the transfer case and the differentail fuilds.

sorry if its all drawn out but i want to be as detailed as possible so not to have any confusion. I just wanted to know what u gents would do to ur own rigs b4 puttin them back on the trails after sitting so long.

So thanks guys!!
