    Not a Jeep, but holy crap!

    I guess it can be for entertainment here. Hey...Is there a thread started for stuff like this in SEC? This one is actually decently built for around here, as in not a hack. There are PLENTY of hacks around here though. My old roommates XJ for instance. He bought it with 6in lift coils, 6in...

    I found this while searching for a d44 on craigslist and couldn't help but share. http://raleigh.craigslist.org/cto/2491743319.html I'm impressed. Especially for around my area.

    Long trip oil issue. Where is it coming from?

    cleaned my back hatch, and so far so good. Installed the tranny cooler from the E-350, simple install. The fittings on the cooler are the same size as the hard lines coming from the AW4. Used 1/4" ID power steering line for the extra strength/puncture resistance. I'll take some pictures of...

    Long trip oil issue. Where is it coming from?

    alright, made it out of the JY for less than $30 on saturday. Picked up a stacked plate cooler from a E-350 Ford van for $12 . On the gas mileage note, I metered all sensors when I got off friday, and either my meter is going nuts or all my sensors(well the first two) I checked were bad, or the...

    Long trip oil issue. Where is it coming from?

    I'll be hunting for one this weekend. With this being primarily a trail truck and seeing pavement to and from the various spots, I dont want to drop to much in an aftermarket cooler. Thinking Id hit the JY first, any vehicles in particular I need to be on the prowl for? I was thinking the F250's...

    Long trip oil issue. Where is it coming from?

    anybody seen this before? Bob the Oil guy fix. Found that surfing around on google last night. No towing, camping for me consists of a tent and air mattress(all my money is in the Jeep, haha). It looked like oil, smelled like oil. I believe the tranny overheating is right though. 1 hour of...

    Long trip oil issue. Where is it coming from?

    I haven't had much time to look at my leaks, by the time I get home its dark, and my jeep is currently outdoors. For the J-hose, I replaced that one when I did my top-end. I did notice that I had some oil "bubbling" around the oil filler cap, and do believe that some is coming out here. New cap...

    Long trip oil issue. Where is it coming from?

    the tranny fluid would make sense why it doesnt do it on short trips. Fluid is fresh, just replaced my tranny about 3,000 miles ago. Solution bigger tranny cooler?

    Long trip oil issue. Where is it coming from?

    Its renix. 89 with 235k. :D I had also read that there was a way to shorten the vent tubes. Unfortunately after I did my top end. The valve cover at the it is 10 bucks. The newer style have the screw in type filler caps don't they? This will solve the problem of oil coming out the filler hole...

    Long trip oil issue. Where is it coming from?

    Now this is very possible and might be adding to the oil smoke screen. I definitely can tell oil is coming from somewhere though. Its definitely a burning Rotella smell coming out. For the CCV system, a little bit gets tossed on the filter, I have no clue how to fix it, I've replaced the...

    Long trip oil issue. Where is it coming from?

    The jeep is my play toy, so I dont drive it all that much. When I do, its to the local trails where it doesnt get up past 50mph. It didnt happen the first time I went to the beach, but did happen the last time I went to the trails in the mountains. Figured it was just a valve cover leak, which...
