A little hard for me to tell from the pics but what I did with my 1990 XJ was keep the hard pipe and use regular heater hose for the short flexible parts.

While trying to rebuild the tranny yourself could be a neat learning experience, most [including me] would be leery of buying a transmission rebuilt by a novice. Have you checked on rebuilt tranny prices? They typically have a warranty. Sometimes used will come with a 30 day warranty.

Have you checked the gas cap?

How extensive is the rust? There are shops that do that type of work, you'll just need to check around your area.

It blows my mind that they'd put the jeep emblem on any 2wd vehicle. 4 wheel drive made jeep's name. If there are folks out there that like the body style why not put the dodge label on the 2wd models. Seems like most of the jeep pickups they used to make were 2wd. I don't do a lot of off...

My wife wanted a soft top when we bought our jeep. I didn't but the only 2 door hard top they had on the lot was a manual - ok by me but not her. Once she found out the hassle of putting the top on we've not taken it off. When it gets a few inches of wet snow on it I sweep it off the top...

I've sprayed PB Blaster on red hot bolts before but prepared to put the flame out if needed. Generally the flame isn't that big of a deal to put out. I'm not convinced that spraying the PB Blaster on red hot bolts/nuts helps a lot. IMO heat does more than anything.

About 50 yrs ago I rented a small set of torches from a rental place. I don't know if that can still be done or what the cost might be.

While map is better than propane I'm thinking you need a real torch. How red did your map torch get the stud?

I've always found this to work well but you need to keep it in short bursts if you are concerned about breaking the bolts.

Are these the bolts for the catalytic convertor? If so, how old is the car?

If the blower stops and/or slows it just about has to be the blower fan or it's wiring. Not getting flow out of one of the ducts is usually from obstruction or blend door issue.

I had a 90 jeep cherokee that did the same thing. If I remember right it was the blower fan [mine also did it in heat mode. That was 20 or so yrs ago and my memory is a little fuzzy.

that was my thought also

The only times I've ever replaced that washer was when it didn't seal correctly which is rare. I bought my 2010 JK new and it still has the factory drain plug washer.

Why not just buy a set of torx bits? https://www.autozone.com/screwdrivers/driver-bit-set/p/duralast-3-8in-drive-torx-bit-socket-set-5-piece/565116_0_0?searchText=torx%20bits

The flexible brake hose can appear decent on the exterior but can collapse on the inside. If they are original I'd go ahead and replace them.

IMO it would be best to dig up the title [or even registration] which will have the yr stated on it. Jeeps keep the same style for several yrs so it might be difficult to pinpoint the yr just by the body style.

I think I'd start with the fuel filter ..... if nothing else to cross it off the list.

That's amazing! I thought I was doing good at 17mpg with my 2 door 2010 JK that the window sticker said should be 15mpg.
