Did you know Dutch is a big faker? You look at the pictures on this site and get an image of a showroom-ready Jeep. Truth is, he’s hiding a soft underbelly under that shiny red paint - his tub is slowly falling apart, the bondo work that dad did 20 years ago just isn’t holding anymore. The sheetmetal around all the body mounts is cracking, and there is damage from the rollover in ‘97 that I never got around to fixing.
Then there’s the softtop with it’s multiple patches that leak. And the wiring that’s been hacked into numerous times over the years, and mostly painted red. And the windshield frame is still tweaked.
And now I think the throwout bearing is shot, and quite possibly the input bearing on the transmission.
