It'll be at least double what you paid. Especially in that condition [emoji106]

Thanks. Doing some routine maintenance on it right now. Greasing bearings and a lube job. I belong to a jeep club and most of them, me included,have jk's. We're invited to a antique car show event in September in Crow,OR. They're designating a section for us for our jeeps to come show off too. Administrator of our group asked if he get a pic of mine in its glory for the event banner. I'm gonna trailer it up there for the event too. Gonna be great

Some old timers will actually add a little used engine oil in the gas... Crazy if you ask me lol

I've decided to use premium non ethanol with a lead substitute additive. I work for a fuel company so I can get it at cost.

Thanks. I thought so too. Now the son wants it when I'm finished with it. Lol

Yeah, those same weiners dump used motor oil in their frames to keep them from rusting. :crazyeyes: I also heard of people using ATF fluid too.
OP, you're on the right track using the lead substitute. I used to have to add that to my old Ford farm tractor and I never had any issues doing so.

The 21 year old kid of mine is like just use the alcohol gas, it's not gonna hurt it, at most it'll do is clean stuff up and you'll have to replace the fuel filter more often. This generation has no idea about good old regular gas before unleaded showed up

Appraiser valued it at 14,500 in its current state. Woo hoo. Only paid 3000. I'm doing great.

Hey littlered_jk, try putting some Marvel Mystery Oil in with the gas. I use this on my '73 Vette that does way more sitting than it should. It seems to keep it happy and it makes the exhaust smell like a race car. I know it's not a race jeep but the mystery oil will keep the fuel and valve train happy. Also be sure to add a zinc additive to the oil. Enjoy that gem that you have!!

Think I did too. Previous owner wasn't too concerned about the money. He was more worried about it going to a good home and being taken care of and appreciated

Thanks. Yeah, first time with the jeep with the windshield down. Odd at first, but got used to it real quick. Felt free going down the road
