trucks a 96 XJ 6 auto.  I'm really only a novice mechanic but I do the small things I can.  Reds been easily used but I don't think she was maintained as much as I'd like see it.  I'm wanting to replace the things I can just to make sure everything runs as smooth as poss.

So far I've replaced..
plugs
wires
distributor cap and rotor
fuel filter

have plans to replace..
exhaust manifold (hole)
oxygen sensor (is there possibly both a front and a rear?)
coolant thermostat
coolant temp sensor

Anything else along these lines I should go ahead and replace?  Thanks

if it's in the budget, do the hoses when you do the thermostat and sensor and refill with new coolant. don't forget the belts. other than that, you're on the right path.  


I work to support my Jeep

Oil and Filter.

Duh, I know, but you didn't have it listed.

Front and rear diffs.
Transfercase and Transmission oil.
Re-Charge the AC.

Thats about all I can think of...  


So it's not a Jeep... sue me... it's still faster!

not a bad idea to flush the brake lines and master cylinder.
