That’s a serious improvement. I get like 5mpg.

A backfire though the intake is an indication of timing issues. I’d pull the dist and start over.

I wouldn’t be able to walk 😂.

Pre 1996 = OBS to me. I had a sweet 1995 Eddie Bauer F150 and grew up around my dad’s various OBS trucks. The one that stuck in my mind was a two tone gray brick nose. I acquired one with a house I bought and it had been is inside the garage for 15-ish years undriven with 106k on the clock...

Good plan asking for feedback. Look closely at the bottom of the body / tub and inside the holes in the frame. Even stick your finger in and feel for rust scale. Rust is the #1 sucky part about buying a wrangler. That and overall mechanical condition, which you can use to negotiate. Rust, not...

Yep, that’s a no go for me. Better for same or less money. The COVID spike is over. Look hard, buy a good one.

I have two old Stanley clam shell sockets sets from pawn shops @ $20 each and a pile of Harbor freight stuff. Some random name brand pieces as well. My dad has a boss Snap On box full of shit he never uses. It’ll be mine some day when I’m too old to work on my own stuff.

Is this a cry for help? Are you in danger? 😂

Just keep the shim stacks together left and right so you have a good place to start with the new bearings. Should be close.

Yeah that was me this weekend cussing myself 😂. Thought I’d never get the filter off.

Watch some YouTube videos, watching someone else do it may help you with context. Buy an oil filter wrench or a set of filter pliers, makes it a lot easier to remove the old filter. Make sure the rubber gasket from the old filter doesn’t stick to the engine. Double gasket will cause a major oil...

I’d pull the carrier and knock out the slug, inspect the bearing and races and go from there. Be sure to keep the bearing caps and shims in the same orientation. I’ve broke a few 44 rear shafts and the bearings survived.

Wow, people don’t even read the truth in lending disclosure anymore do they? Hard to feel sorry for them.

Still doesn’t need a snorkel 😂.

Sure, with some spacer adapters. Good option for cheap tires and wheels.
