Thanks for the quick reply. My tail gate hinges look like the ones on top. Sounds like I should keep trying lubricants.

Thanks for post. My tail gate on my 2002 TJ seems to be stiffer than it should be. I've lubricated it with WD 40 and 3in! oil but it doesn't seem to make a difference. Are your bushings an option?

I've also heard awful things about 505 and agree we should take the 2.5L for what it is. I called 505 once and they left me on hold for 20 minutes till I hung up. I was curious about the Wikipedia post about the 2.5L, which said that it was detuned for the Wrangler in the mid-90s. It had 130...

Ok, hopefully I'm posting this in the right thread. Although I didn't own it, this was the jeep that got me hooked. It is my sister's 1988 AMC Wrangler 2.5L (all stock). She still owns it. Had to replace the tranny and main seal this year, but otherwise its been fine. It is amazing it has...

My first 2006 TJ sport yes from a dealer. My current 2002 SE bought used
