Just hold onto those extra bottles of ATF. In a few months, do another drain & fill on it to cycle out more of the old stuff.

 

Just remember, righty tighty, lefty loosey.

 

Ha ha. I checked that about 15 times to make sure.

 

Or keep them for on the trail fix with jb weld in case something really bad messes up.

 

Hmm weird your profile pic is a 2nd gen but you have a 1st gen

 

Gotta keep 'em guessing.

 

I like it haha

ALSO, my xmsn fill plug was a PAIN to get out, almost stripped it after 2 attempts.

What solved it for me was taking compressed air with that trigger nozzle and blowing A TON of dried mud/debris from around the plug (look away and close eyes, or youll regret it). once I got all the crap from the back side of the bolt, the 24mm closed side wrench fit on perfectly around, never slipping and only took a little effort to turn. the tq spec is like 24 or 29 ft/lbs so its not on there too tight. there is also a rubber gasket/o ring on there too so dont forget that. the tq for the overflow plug and drain plug are like 14 ft/lb. the overfill is a 5mm allen and the drain is a 14mm bolt.

and as I type this, i realize you longer have the 2nd gen....but its too much info to go back and erase..plus it may help me next time I go to do it again haha.

 

Ha ha. I wish that was it, but the plug is clean as can be.

 

I think I may melt over here. It was 119 today. Time to start buying truck parts to pass the time!

 

All roads lead to buying more truck parts

 

This what I do annually (ish), but I follow the thread to check the temp with the jump wire. It's simple once you do it once

 

So considering I've met some of you personally and wheeled with a few as well. Figured you could be good to ask. I'm looking to move that general area(i.e. tennesee, N. Georgia, W. North carolina). Any good areas to look at?(firefighter by profession) Don't necessarily want to be in the mountains, close though. But still want at least a couple acres and a decent little house. 1400 square ft or so. Was looking around helen GA or Cleveland TN, and Cleveland GA. Any other places I should look around?
Sorry for the long message, thanks for any replies

 

@Kerleyfries you want to go take a look at this for me? Also says it's for a 99, so not sure if compatible.

 

Well that's dumb. @Kerleyfries cancel that request for me. @rngr might be interested though. I'm still hoping for the Softopper group buy to go through.

 

$200? Was it black? Mine is tan/brown. I need black eventually, just to match better
