1994 YJ Axle

Thanks Will. I'm going through it (and under it!) looking for things like that today. So far my list includes tires, brakes, emergency brake cables, oil change, and several other items. WIth gas prices what they are I cring at the though of draining the full tank though...

I would not drain the fuel as others suggest. Modern vehicle have a better sealed tank and gas does not degrade as quickly. When fuel sets open, the aromics in the fuel evaporate and change the vapor pressure of the fuel but is a sealed system this happens a lot slower. You could freshen it up a bit by topping it off with fresh fuel. I have a old J20 that has not been on the road now for close to three years that I plan to restore someday. It is sitting in the barn and it has not had fresh fuel put in it for a long time yet it starts without problem when i fire it up every several months with the old gas in it. I have a old tractor to that is used in summer and then sits in barn till the following spring and it starts on runs fine with gas close to a year old in it the following spring. I recently started up a mower that had not been used for close to 3 years and it had about 1/2 tank of old gas and it is not sealed so it was "flat" and it did not want to run so I topped of tank without draining it and it started up and ran fine.
