I cleaned the nasty engine bay since the previous owner never did even once and I changed the oil. And it wouldn't be a jeep without a sticker so.........




Although at this point I feel like my RX-8 should have a decal on it that reads "Jeep Support Vehicle"

Today I discovered that one of the factory keys with my 96 is a valet key. Opens doors and ignition but does not work in glove box. Guess Jeep had high hopes..

Keep that stuff out of the AW4 transmission, transfer case is fine with it.

Got Started on my cut and fold rears the other day. Had to cut some rust out of this side so the bottom is a little funky but it came together nicely. Probably going to weld them up. If the rains holds off I might jump out there and get more done today.

When I eventually make a rear bumper I'll do it then, but for mow I'm going to just replace the rusted part of them
