Let it warm up first. They are a bitch when new.
With the temps we've been having that shouldn't be a problem.
To answer your question AWS A5.20 & AWS A5.18 are the name of the specifications published by AWS and typically used as the industry standard.
the ER70S-6 is the specific classification on that particular electrode
ER - Electrode or rod
70 - Tensile strength in KSI
S - Solid
6 - Coating (in this case its a type of silica)
I took it to a company Jeep get together at the office. It was a bit of a blowout. We expected at least 25 Jeeps but only 9 showed up. Still, great folks and good way to kill an hour away from my desk.
@97JadeTJ I got my LubeLocker gaskets for my Dana 30 and Dana 35 differentials today. They are the proper gaskets.
Now, I don't know if I'll be able to get them done today or tomorrow, but I am excited about being able to get these done.

I'm not driving it, Again. For the second day while I wait for the parts that were supposed to be delivered yesterday. Tracking info shows them bouncing from my post office to another one 50 miles away. So frustrating.
This is low effort but big difference. I swapped out the dome lights for LED ones.
its all i know to call it? the overhead light? The speaker bar lights is what I changed out.
Looks good. I might have to consider it. I just don't really drive my jeep at night.
I put some new rear lower arms on my ride today. So much quieter and tighter ride. I don’t know what kind of longevity Rubicon Express joints and bushings have but they seem well made, compared to what I took off they’re mint lol. I found them on sale on Amazon for $153 with the original price listed at $249 but I don’t know what the actual MSRP is.
same. this is what prompted the switch. trying to find things inside the thing after dark.
I inspected it and found another transmission oil leak. I know it isn't the pan leaking because right now, there is no oil in the pan. Also, the skid plate is off and there is a jack stand under the bell housing, so the transmission alignment is slightly off.
So, any tips on tracking down this leak?

This is why I love Jeeps… that’s awesome.
If it happened at our office it would be car park full of white Corolla’s
Replaced the 2 PCV grommets in the valve cover, what a PITA. Hopefully everything that was leaking when I got the Jeep is fixed. Right.
Turns out I'm a dumbass lol. Installed new double din radio, sweet! Bought the metra faceplate for 03-06 even though I have a 99 because I converted the lower panel, easy I thought. Turns out lots of stuff is different so I can't use the radio mount plates, need AC control spacers, all kinds of stuff that only comes in the 97-02 kits. On a side note, if anyone needs 03-06 stuff hit me up
