'clunk' is probably one of the most searched terms here. Dig in and read the threads, or have your favorite AI summarize them for you.

I'm assuming you mean that the FILL PLUG tread is stripped, not one of the multiple bolts that secure the pan to the AT housing. Be prepared for a big mess, as a lot of ATF remains dripping out after you remove the pan. Best to let it drain overnight into a big tub - you won't get as much onto...

The trans dipstick fill tube is the correct spot to add ATF. The TC gets filled through the upper of the two threaded plugs in its case, accessed from under the vehicle. The lower plug is for draining. If you have ATF leaking from your TC, that's a problem. What does the leak look/smell like...

Welcome. I recognize that ferry!

A little confused here - you tried adding ATF where? To the transmission or the transfer case? There's ATF leaking from the transfer case? Trans and TC are two different things that use different fluids.

Nice, the low mileage is a score. Local rig? Rust free? You won the lottery if it is. Take your time though the FAQ, lots of useful noob threads there. And lose the running boards!

welcome! pics?

You won't likely have a catastrophic failure with the weeping you describe, especially if you're not losing oil, not piling on miles, and you keep up with maintenance. Clean the engine every 6 months with degreaser and keep an eye on it. It's got nearly a quarter million miles, so I would not...

A note to check and maybe sand the flare is not CYA, it seems like a thoughtful courtesy. Other manufacturers should do that. Badly cut threads are a QA problem. However, without a picture, it's hard to tell how bad the problem was.

Don't use standoffs long term, that's just masking the problem, which is likely that the motor and cables are not fully pushing the sunroof up into position. That may be due to a jammed cable, lubrication, or both. If you don't plan to use the sunroof you can temporarily apply your fix, but you...

where did you get these? Link?

@Ridies I'm in the market for a set of these. In another thread, member have reported that the white plastic sewn-on clip at the front edge of your seat covers is the wrong profile and does not clip correctly onto the seat frame as intended. Have you fixed this issue...

I think you answered your own question. The whole advantage of a body-on-frame vehicle is that body can remain undisturbed for structural mods.

were you able to replace the cables and tube in place with just the forward part of the headliner dropped, or did it require a full drop and removal?

bumping. Anyone dealt with this? Recap: the sunroof drive cable assembly (blue box below) appears to binding up in the driver side sliding roof guide rail (red box below). I don't know if it's a rail lubrication problem or a jammed cable. I can 'force-help' it with a screwdriver to get it...
