scratches would need to be sanded out before painting as paint alone won't make them disappear

How old is the battery? it should show close to 13 volts but the only way to know for sure is with a load tester. Most auto parts stores will test your battery for free if you have a way to get the battery to the store. Do you have a battery charger?

Mine was the bushings on each end of the 4 wheel drive cable [transfer case to shift lever] on my 2010 jk.

A lot depends on how much you want to spend. Quadratec has some nice ones tailored to specific models. When I bought my 2010 jk I bought some cheap covers at AutoZone that fit well.When they wore out I bought some nicer looking ones that don't fit all that great. When they wear out I'll either...

Yes, that's it. Just takes a little force to press it on with your fingers.

The self adjuster works when you back a vehicle up. I don't think the parking brake will do anything to the adjustment.

I just pressed it in with my fingers. The one under the jeep was more difficult - mainly because of the awkward position and working more by feel than sight.

If this is the one at the ends of the cable you probably don't have it completely seated. I had to replace them on my 2010 jk, it can be difficult to fully seat them but once on they don't come off until they break again.

You need to remove the door panel to look/feel the connections. That should reveal the issue.

As you know that will temporarily bring back the shine. If/when you get ready to paint you'll need to scrub it off before sanding.

I've painted a few vehicles for my sons and grandson with equipment enamel [and hardener]. It will fade some if left out in the weather although my grandson's Honda still looks great 1 yr later. His car is parked under carport when not being driven.

The oil gauge should always be the first suspect. I was ready to change the oil pump on a cherokee I used to have when I noticed it had the same low oil pressure when the engine was shut off.

Because of Covid the IRS extended the deadline one month to 5/15/21 I filed ours a few weeks ago, no refund because we are retired but at least we didn't owe.

Wiring issues like that can be a bear to find. Yrs ago my truck had a short in the wiring harness that took me a month to find, every time I put the tester on it the probe completed the circuit. Glad you got yours figured out!

Dang, you got me :D

IMO the only reason to increase the oil viscosity from the factory specs is when the engine is old and tired. Even then I'd only bump it up one notch.

Over the last couple of months I've gotten code PO456 and a gascap warning on the dash a couple of times so I replaced the gas cap a week ago. About a 1/2 mile from the house gascap came across the dash. I pulled over and double checked to make sure the cap was tight. The gascap message...

At least you have a story to tell when you invite someone over for a barbecue.

On other vehicles I owned it showed up either by uneven brake pad wear or pulling to one side while breaking. A jk is less likely to pull to one side because the brakes aren't tied side to side but rather one front and the opposing rear. Before pad wear was great enough to notice I noticed the...

The first thing I'd do would be to jack up the front and inspect/tug on all the steering and suspension parts.
