Pics.

You're in worse shape then, ours didn't leak on the floor but you could smell antifreeze. I really got the Jeep for my daughter, as it happens her boyfriend is going to auto mechanic school and the school will repair vehicles for only the cost of the parts, it being a learning experience and...

Did you use a seal from the Jeep dealer parts counter or a parts store seal?

I haven't done it yet but I've looked it up and do know that the steering column and dash have to come out, which means dealing with the airbags. For now I just dumped in a can of Bar's Leak and the coolant smell is not as bad.

Beaver County, PA, about 100 miles southwest.

$94. I will try to get a pic tomorrow.

The Jeep got a Bestop softtop headliner for Christmas. Got it installed last night, mostly by my daughter and her boyfriend with a little help from the one arm that I can move (I had rotator cuff surgery about a month ago). Not very cold today so I can't report on the insulation qualities yet...

4 banger with a slipping automatic, get about 13 mpg.

Some tires handle water better than others. As mentioned, bigger tires on a lighter vehicle will hydroplane easier. I had a set of Bridgestone Dueler REVO's on a previous truck, awesome in rain and snow, one look at the tread will tell you why.

I have a Gibson single cat-back on my Sport Trac and it makes a V6 sound about as good as it ever will.

On mine it was the tensioner pully. A new one from a dealer cost like, $13 IIRC.

Usually it means a plugged heater core, don't flush it with the water on full force though and do it in both directions, or the thermostat could be stuck open.

There are kits that will let you put wider YJ springs on a CJ. It is supposed make them ride better.

First name is Jon. Last name starts with O. My dad is Italian. Been my nickname for most of my life. My s/n on all but one of the boards I belong to.

I wouldn't. High-back seats are much safer.

As long as the split is after the cat and O2 sensors, it won't matter.

Rubicon Express and 4wd Hardware have nice budget kits that use spacers and longer shocks.

If you plan to off-road, TJ's have a lot better suspension flex than a CJ. Plus they ride and handle a lot better on-road. Otherwise, jps4jeep nailed it. I mean, there is a company that MAKES custom CJ frames that use TJ axles and suspension.

American Racing 767 black spokes are about as cheap an aftermarket wheel as you will find, 15x7 or 15x8 with 3.75" backspace will help fit larger tires without rubbing much or at all. I had a set on a van I used to own.

I got the Jeep for my daughter (in av pic when she was 4). She named it Wayne. I don't know why.
