I use rubber gloves for my “wood projects“ too. Ha.

Nice work. I dig the body design. What kind of wood is the neck?
Current project I am finishing up as the garage warms up.
Fretboard is bocote and maple is the body of it. Next step will be learning to play a guitar.
Completely agree with this. Especially a lifted one as you can just slide underneath. The issue is that many folks who are new to working on their own rigs and aren't familiar with wrenching on their vehicles are often intimidated by it, or think they'll mess up their rig if they do it themselves. My hope is that this video will allay those concerns and encourage others to get to know their rigs better. It is super simple!
Very easy to follow. This is great for a beginner to let them get used to saving money and knowing what to do.
That's the hope. That folks who are concerned about wrenching on their own vehicle either because they are new, or for some reason intimidated by the idea will see the simplicity of this maintenance, take the initiative and familiarize themselves with their rig a little more. It truly is an easy process and something every Jeeper should be familiar with.
I watched a lot of videos when I had my first one and was scared to do stuff. It the more you do the more comfortable you will get. This is an easy service that can save you $50+ a change (in my area).
I've done a lift, front bumper/winch, fender chop, and a few other mods but have not done an oil change myself yet. I'm getting to it soon (maybe tomorrow). So we don't need replaceable crush washers with these?
No crush washer is use with this drain plug. It has its own rubber gasket as part of the plug.
Yup.
I do, I don't want to create a vacuum which could impact draining. Is it needed? Not sure, but I have open the cap anyway. I open the hood, open the fill cap, sit it over the radiator and start the oil drain. In addition next time I am cracking the oil filter right after opening the drain. It does seem to hold oil in there. After 2 hours sitting draining, I cracked the filter open and heard oil rush into the pan.
Thanks. Sometimes I'd have to go to several auto parts stores to find the right size washers. This'll save me some time.No crush washer is use with this drain plug. It has its own rubber gasket as part of the plug.
Not mentioned yet is the importance of NOT over tightening the plastic oil filter cap to the housing as these can crack. But the good thing about doing this yourself is that you can control the amount of force used to tighten (which is just snug) and not an inexperienced Jiffy Lube Express worker that has no knowledge of this design. Just think of the effort to loosen and do the opposite when reinstalling. Easy-peasy.
I always encourage anyone to learn about their JT (from the bottom up) and get up close and personal with each aspect of the vehicle.
Edit: I always go with the Mopar M0-349 oil filter (part #68191349AC) and 5 qts. Pennzoil Ultra Platinum 0w20.
