We are going to change the oil today and put Mobil-1-10W-30 w/ Fram Ultra Synthetic Oil Filter and will let you know how it turns out
I was talking with another jeep owner today and he suggested putting in "Lucas oil treatment" what are your thoughts on that?
Been using Valvoline MaxLife 10W-30 oil and Motorcraft FL-1A filters for years. 241,000 miles now.

Easy day, installed a half-dozen NGK V-Power Spark Plugs, DUI Cap & Rotor, Taylor ThunderVolt 8.2mm Spark Plug Wires and MSD Blaster Coil. What a difference.

First time I've changed them in the 2 years since I bought her. I set mine at .035, the old ones were gapped more than the gauge could measure.

Installed some Currie johnny joints in my UCAs and LCAs. Only snapped a picture of the UCA joint since I was so excited to get them installed!

Finished yanking out the seats and floor mat. Got some surface rust to clean-up now.



Made some progress on the frame, no pics of that yet.

That is sort of how mine looked last fall when I pulled the carpets, then I started cleaning up the surface rust and found a bunch of small holes

I have been eyeing over your long arm upgrade kit, but by the time I get my relocation brackets in and spacers in the front to level things out again I will be just shy of 4" of lift. Do you think it would still work on a 3.75" lift?

No, it will push your axle forward.
