Everyone operates under "severe operating conditions". GM did a survey
years back and found over 90% of all cars were operated under severe
operating conditions.
Heat, dust, cold, etc. are all "severe operating conditions" and the
most common one is short trips, the general rule is if you start your
engine and turn it off in less than 30 minutes (and we all do that, my
drive to work only takes 15 minutes) that constitutes "severe operating
conditions".
Just ignore the "normal operating" section of the maintenance schedule,
it's very unlikely it applies to you.

LOL! Yup, I know a few good ones, I am a marintimer, but vehicles just
seem to work when I tinker with them. My son is putting an 87 Van on
the road that has been sitting a few years and it started today but ran
like dirt, then wouldn't start again. I looked at it, poked and pushed
a couple relay connections and the sucker started and purrs. My poor
kid just looks at me and says so what the !@@#$% did you do? I missed
it. I laughed and told him. I recommended he clean all those
connections. He will.
This one is taking a bit though... It's worth it, the body is nice and
all the doors and windows work And as a bonus it still has floorboards!
I live in the rust belt...

Where I live a hundred buck Cherokee is the right rear door, w/o glass

I think we need pix to document that it has working doors and windows.
I seem to recall the bumper on the CJ is being held on with a belt.
