What a fantastic video! Thankfully there are people like you that are great at making videos. I’m so appreciative of you taking the time to help so many of us. Thank you so very much!
Nice video! I also own an 06 patriot blue TJ. something to be checking on or listening out for is the OPDA. The 05-06 models are notorious for them going bad. They have a dry bearing in them and wear out prematurely. From all the research I did when I replaced mine, it is best to replace with crown automotive replacement OPDA, but use your existing stock camshaft sensor, not the new one that comes with the OPDA. There are plenty of videos and forum threads on this topic. Nice Jeep!!!
Nice! I have an 06 Rubicon and I enjoy working on it because even with my limited mechanical knowledge I can still do a lot of maintenance on my own. I would recommend changing out those PCV grommets on the valve cover too. They lose their pliability over time with the heat.
Thanks for the throttle body cleaning tip, I’m sure it needs it. The Jeep being a daily driver, it is hard to schedule down time to get the oil pan gasket changed out but I need to move that up on the priority list. Thanks for watching.
Jeeps are great all round vehicles. Sounds like the Jeep your looking at has low miles and should have 4.0L/6 cylinder. (Great Engine)Check the frame for rot & rust holes, they are notorious for rusting out. Thanks for watching!
The tire brand is KUMHO Road Venture AT51 Size 32X11.5R15 LT113R. We also have a 1 1/2 inch wheel spacer to even them out with the fender flare. Hope that helps.
My daughter purchased this Jeep from a very cool gentleman that gave her a really good deal, so that would be a poor judge on price. I have been looking at other TJ Jeeps 05-06 years and my best guess, it's value may be around $8,500. The market is crazy right now, good luck on your search. Thanks for watching and inquiring.
Nice colour TJ but hate that front grill 🤦🏼definitely destroyed the Jeep look . Owned 2 new TJ 97. 06 . Also iv got a 98 . Owned many XJs FSJ as well 360 T / Flight . Index your plugs 👍🏻.
Thanks We don’t see to many that color in our area. Yea the grill is not for everyone but we like it. Looks like you have had a long list of cool Jeep. Thanks for the comments and watching
LOL…My daughter read the comment and asked why I used a bad filter on her Jeep! I have been schooled. Best comment I have read in a long time. Thanks for watching! Can’t stop laughing!

Thanks for the great comment. I’m trying my best. Thanks for watching and good luck with your projects.
Keep the old belt in the back for a spare may come in handy one day . Change your diffs an t case oil . An gear box an you will go a long way .👍🏻
Thanks for the tip about changing the diff and transfer-case fluids. Sometimes that stuff gets over looked.
Great vid, just picked up my first TJ. All easy stuff but nice to see someone run through it for tips.
Thanks for watching and the compliment. Find some local 2 tracks and enjoy the new Jeep.

Great advice and the tip, using the old sensor. Jeep has 145k so I’m sure its time. Thanks for watching and the great comments!
Very cool video and TJ. I have the same spare tire cover on my '05 TJ Rocky Mtn.
Thanks for the compliment. We really like the special edition jeeps Rocky Mtn . Very cool.

06 Rubicon… Sweet! Yea the PVC grommets are wasted from the heat and on my list now..Thanks. and thanks for watching!
Thank you! Great video and information. Just picked up a 1998 TJ.
Thanks for watching and enjoy the Jeep!
Good video Mike
Thanks for watching!
Cleaning the throttle body gets good results , and I'd say your oil pan needs a new gasket

im thinking about buying a 2006 Jeep Wrangler X with 110k miles perfect condition

Wat size tires and brand please Mike?
The tire brand is KUMHO Road Venture AT51 Size 32X11.5R15 LT113R. We also have a 1 1/2 inch wheel spacer to even them out with the fender flare. Hope that helps.
Hey nice video man 🔥how did u get those fenders?
Thanks for the nice compliment! I believe it was an option for 2006 65 Anniversary Jeeps to have body color fender flares.
When are we taking the Jeeps off road!
Soon. Haley would have a blast!
If you don't mind me asking, how much did you score that TJ for? I'm in the market for one and want one in about that condition.

Even 40 is to much will wear the centre out on the rear .
👍
Friends don't let friends use Fram oil filters; and they definitely don't put them on each other's vehicles.

Change it every 3-5k miles it should be okay.
@@33milegarage34 do miss the mopar oil filters. Seems like they are harder to find in stores at least now a days.
