I’ll be doing this every 6 months or about 5k. Oil is cheap and labor is free.
I am :excited: to change oil myself on the Jeep and not have to use ramps or anything.

We're at 25K miles, going hard on this thing.

Oil changes and tire rotations on the Jeep were so easy with how high it sits and having the full sized spare to rotate in so you only ever have one wheel off the ground.

Pretty good, actually. That was a main consideration when it was developed. We wheeled power top Jeeps in dust and mud pretty extensively with no issues whatsoever.

Jeep continues to Jeep. I decided it needed to look more like a Subaru, so this was wifey’s birthday present. Came out way better than I’d hoped.

Looks really good! I never see that bloo around, such a nice color and the wheel color sets it off perfectly.

You also forgot lesbians. Coincidentally, :tits: best friend is a lesbo and she drives a JL sahara 4 door with the v6 (doubt that she cares about the engine alone)

Also I believe yj had a 2.5 4 banger as well, which was common for subaru as well.

Jeep Love is the only thing that the gays and the rednecks have in common. Customized Jeeps are the number one vehicle at both Pride parades and MAGA rallies.

I actually saw a JLU in this color last night, it may be the first I've ever seen? Seems more rare than some of the other Skittles JLs, looks so good :doe:
