In my world I generally only get a call if something is wrong!The funniest part is how you answered the phone, “What’s wrong now?”

Ha! A friend of mine had a very similar conversation with his daughter:It usually goes like this for me:
Ring, ring:
Dad -What's wrong now?
Daughter - The car's not working!
Dad -What happened?
Daughter - It was making a funny noise and just died!
Dad - How long was it making the noise?
Daughter - Just for the last few months.
Dad -
Does he currently have a TJ?Sold it back the the original owner.
At one point he said he wanted something with four doors, but not sure where he ended up.Does he currently have a TJ?
I apologize for the yo-yo routine, but it looks like the LJ will be staying with me for now. My daughter was in a less than desirable place, so I did what Fathers do. We met today at our local DMV and I gave her my CR-V commuter car. Since I now need a daily driver, I registered the LJ and it has assumed duty as my commuter. My wife and I went out today and drove it around town for the first time since buying it. I filled it up at the gas station, also for the first time, and it took 15.9 gallons!

It did pain me a little to take it out on salted roads, but I got over it quickly, knowing how anal I am about cleaning it.I can't love this enough
I will say though, that may be the most salt that thing has been near in 2+ years lol
That makes sense, thanks. Indeed, my stands run out to almost exactly 17”. I did have a quick look and saw one of the big retailers here has some 12t stands available that go up to about 37” - sounds a bit scary to me, like a bloke trying to wear 6” stiletto heels!The the
The typical 3 ton stands only have a working range from 11 to 17", which is really to short for working on a TJ. Yes, you can use them, but the larger stands, like the one linked below, have additional valuable features.
These 6 ton stands have a working range of 16 -23", a larger more stable footprint, and an additional safety lock feature that ensures the jack won't collapse.

Oil changes become much easier with an engine skid plate without having to remove it.Sorry if thats dumb, but why someone would use this valve?

As @psrivats said, oil changes are supper easy. Remove the plastic locking tab, flip the lever, and the oil pours out. When it's done draining, flip the lever back and re-insert the locking tab.Sorry if thats dumb, but why someone would use this valve?

So it's about oil change being easier, and making your life easier when you have a skid plate on. Understood! Thanks a lotOil changes become much easier with an engine skid plate without having to remove it.
If it wasn't for the fact that I already had a new Fumoto valve, I would have gone with the Stahlbus. Even though the Stahlbus costs more, they are more compact than the short Fumoto I used. That alone makes it a good choice.I got the Stahlbus for mine. Curious if you considered it and what made you choose the Fumoto. When I looked at them, I liked the design of the Stahlbus better but I think both are equally good functionally. I actually started changing my own oil after I got this since it is so damn easy now and no mess whatsoever.
