For anybody still wandering.. The bumper is home made. Any thoughts on it? I kinda like it alright, and the price is right for 200 bucks, probably get it for 150. Figure if nothing else i can just cut the brush guard off and have a decent bumper that's at least stronger then stock. May get some tie in's and put some D rings on it so i'll actually have a recovery point in the front.

My 98' has has an engine oil leak for a while now, its coming from the passenger side of the engine. If I crawl under I can see that the bottom of the oil filter is where the oil drips off. If I let the jeep sit for a day or two and look under theres a small puddle. I have a new oil filter on with a good gasket, and I just replaced the 3 oil filter adapter o rings. Any ideas? Could it be where the sending unit screws into?

Or do the oil filter mod for free and never have to worry about it leaking again. I'm on my phone or I would post a link to the page showing the mod. If you are going to remove the adapter you should do the mod. No new parts are needed. Just remove the bolt that the filter screws onto and put that in your block. Use side clutters to remove the crush pin that is in the block that keeps the adapter from turning. I have to look up the filter size which will screw directly to the block now on the bolt that was removed from the filter and screwed into the block.
