Congratulations!

I just finished painting it myself back in December.

UPDATE 2: We cut open the oil filter and there is a lot of metal in it.

We got it to turn over today and when it started it ran horribly. There was a knock and a screeching noise but the screeching might have just been a belt.

UPDATE: I got COVID so I couldn’t do anything about the car until now. It did start but it ran horribly. There was a loud screeching along with knocking and you could tell the engine was just overall not running right.

I honestly didn’t think to look at the oil pressure while it was happening because I was focusing on trying to get to the side of the highway safely. I didn’t hear any knocking when it was happening or when trying to start it. I know one of my friends also said it could be a fuel pump so...

Interesting, I’ll have to try that.

No it wasn’t over heating. Whats weird is it was driving normally and it just started to lose power. When I try and start it you can tell it wants to start but it just can’t quite get there. I’ll have to ask about the oil filter cutter.

That’s cool. Thank you for letting me know.

I didn’t know about that. I might have to check that out later. Thank you for letting me know.

Okay, thank you. That’s similar in cost to engines I saw online but with ~100k now because I think prices have gone up.

To be honest I’m not too sure. I didn’t see it myself. I just want to be prepared in case it does need replacement. I’m taking it to an actual engine mechanic I personally know on Monday to look more in depth at it so I’ll try and get some pictures while I’m there.

Backstory: I have 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sport and the other day I was on the highway when the engine started to lose power. It wasn’t too fast of first but after less then a minute it was not enough to maintain highway speed and was continuing to decrease. So I pulled off onto the side of the road...

Good luck to you with that.

I’m looking to by a hardtop for a tj within few hundred miles of Tucson AZ. I have 2001 so I would prefer the top with vents. I don’t care about the color and I am okay with a top that is cheaper that has faded paint. I’m not too picky so if you’re interested in selling your hardtop please...

Thank you for your reply. I’ve looked at the one in Phoenix before it is a junkyard that actually has tjs sometimes. The only thing is they are a bit pricey according to their website. I haven’t seen the company that makes new ones. I’ll have to check that out, thank you.

Thank you I’ll check it out.

$600 dollars is a great price here. I’ve seen some completely wrecked ones posted for $800 here.

Yeah I’ve seen these, I really like the “discovery” model from BullDawg. Though they are a bit expensive.
