What should I do to my TJ @ 100k?
 

My 99 TJ is at about 93k, and I'm wondering what kind of maintenance I
should do at 100k. Yes, there's stuff listed in the manual, but I'd like
to hear from people who've been there...



thanks,
fnord

I've always maintained vehicles like this on a 15k major maintenance cycle,
with oil changes every 3k. As such, you would have just done at 90k a
complete fluids change (all oils, coolant, brake & clutch system flush). At
the 30k increments I'd also replace the plugs, cap, rotor, wires drive belt,
brake pads/shoes.

The powertrain in TJs, even with the accursed Dana 35 rear axle, can be made
to live many hundres of thousands of miles with good maintenance.

Take it out in the woods and bang the snot out of it?
