What problems does your Jeep have this week?

Yeah that’ll do it. Bolts should be 1/2-13, can use grade 8 washers instead of having to order the ball seat bolts.

Came home after a week of TDY to this lovely site. Only green fluid I have in the Jeep is my windshield washer fluid and confirmed it when I got home. I can't remember the last time I filled that reservoir, hell might have been moab, and it was in the -20 range while I was gone. I'm figuring the fluid froze up and cracked the reservoir. On the top side I can see the pool of fluid right behind the reservoir under what looks like the pump maybe?
Anyone have there windshield fluid system freeze up and crack anywhere? Where should I start digging to look for issues?
It does function just fine so I'm gonna throw some of the -30 rated good MT stuff in it to keep it from freezing for now.

Had a diff oil drip from the rear diff after running the washboard roads in Death Valley . 4 bolts on the bottom of the pumpkin were loose . Need to crawl under and do a torque check on everything

Haha I had the same problem. I was all set to take the cover off and redo the RTV when I found several loose cover bolts. Replaced a couple that had mangled heads and torqued everything back to spec. Hopefully that takes care of the leak.

Haha yah I’m almost due for diff oil change so I’ll replace all mangled bolts then

Different topic . Does anyone else running 37s with bushwacker flares have issues with rear trim in wheel well rubbing w/ 3” lift ? I’m about to grab a grinder and cut this piece off but wanted to check if others had this same issue

I've seen this happen when summer formula fluid is in there and forgotten about. Then in colder climates, it freezes and cracks a line or cracks the reservoir.

Cut to fit, paint to hide



That's a good time to upgrade the cover to something sturdy to help prevent further leaks

Here in Kalifornia, we can't even buy winter formula. I have to smuggle it home when I go to Colorado.

Back in action. Skid plate is secure again. While it was in the shop and warm I took a moment to add the windshield decal my wife got me for christmas. Pretty sure it added some HP! View attachment 340711

Not too difficult. The drilling was the only real challenge. New nuts went in nice and snug for an easy weld for my brother. I did do some beginner welding while we were at it.

Starter crapped out after going into deep mud hole Saturday. Removed, disassembled, cleaned, reassembled, reinstalled and to my surprise it works!
