    Oil Filter Removal Tips?

    I changed my oil last night. Thank goodness I had perused the "this thread or I would have been very suprised by the weird drain spout. The filter was a bit of a pain to get to. I tried a filter socket style wrench first, but the angle was far enough off that I couldn't get a strong...

    Even though the oil appeared to have been recently changed at the dealer, I got itchy last night and changed it out. Thank goodness I had perused the "how to change your oil" thread or I would have been very suprised by the weird drain spout. The filter was a bit of a pain to get to. I...

    Royal Purple Synthetic Oil

    BUMP this question please. I've googled the hell out of Moly and can't find anything that says moly should be avoided in any application whatsoever. Help!

    Second tank of gas = 17.6 MPG. I completely babied the gas pedal. Considering the first tank of gas was 17.7 with plenty of foot stomping, I think I'll stay with foot stomping.

    rear bumper fading

    I couldn't find it in the auto parts stores, but did find it at the local Ace Hardware.

    Thanks! I love the black when it's clean. I can't describe how many comments I get on this car - more than any I've had since I sold a 69 Cadillac DeVille Convertable I used to own. It does show EVERY speck of dirt though.

    rear bumper fading

    I used it on door handles, the fittings on the roof rack, and the light bar. They should have restored to black - i think.

    rear bumper fading

    I tried this product over the weekend and was very disapointed with the results. It went on pretty black, but by the time it dried, it had turned to a dark grey.

    I tried to get rid of the faded black appearance of my door handles & light bar over the weekend. Based on recommendations in the detailing threads, I purchased Bondo's Black Restore product and applied it per the instructions. This picture shows the difference as the product was being...

    Royal Purple Synthetic Oil

    What are the issues with Moly and a tighter tolerance engine? I read through the information from the website on the link in one of the other posts in this tread and there didn't seem to be any warnings against moly. Maybe I missed something?

    Hello from a first time Jeep owner

    I'm going to bring it to an aftermarket shop and let them poke around. I don't know what I'd be looking for or where to look for it. The receiver doesn't have any markings on it.

    rear bumper fading

    I went to three auto stores looking for the Bondo Restore Black without success. I did an on-line search and found it at Ace Hardware's on-line store, so I tried the little Ace hardware store a mile from my house and BINGO. It was about $12.00 and came with an application sponge. I'll be...

    I'm totaly going to poach this minor mod. I found the Quickfist mounts, but I googled the maglight with the Jeep logo and didn't find anything. Did you find that at a dealer, in a catalog or fab the logo yourself? I could do it with a plain maglight, the the jeep logo is really nice.

    Minor Mod number two (O.K. very minor): Hitch receiver cover - When I bought the Rene, it came sans cover, this looks better. I'm still trying to figure out if a step insert makes any sense. The weird design in the chrome cover is just an odd reflection of me taking the photo. Here...

    Minnesota, anyone?

    Bump on the topic of where to off road in the Twin Cities (or near enough). Is there a section of the forum on this? Skiers all keep a "stash" of secret powder spots where they know they can find clean snow days after the gappers have trashed the latest powder dump on the main runs...

    I read the invesigative thread on filters. Puke on the Mopar filter! I'll have to change my oil and filter a little early! Does anyone believe the new Castrol adds claiming significantly less wear than Mobile-1?

    Minnesota, anyone?

    I'm completely new to off roading. How do you learn where to take your jeep to get it dirty?

    Devi's Renegade Roadshow

    I dismantled the plastic roof rack "surround" and said "adios!". I think it looks cleaner this way. There was a little grunge underneath it, but that all cleaned up nicely. I also took some time trying to figure out what the service status is. Spark plugs look O.k. & correctly gapped...

    Thanks for the detail on the Trac Loc. It looks like the plastic 'extras' on the roof rack can come off, leaving rather normal looking rails. I wonder if it makes sense to remove the plasic?

    That's the plug for the engine block heater. Even though I live in Minnesota, I won't have a need for it (heated floors in my garage), so I think I'm going to try and tuck it back into the engine compartment.
