Hello from the Netherlands
They are a good fun car, brilliant offroad and in the snow. The 2.8 auto can tow 3.5t- KJowner

What did you do to your jeep today?
All dry, still look rough but with the pitting that's not a surprise, the bores are still slightly greasy so hopefully the overspray will scrape out easily enough.- KJowner

Bearing going out?
If the wheel bearings are OK look at the CV joints on the front axle shafts, check the tyre is round and running true as well.- KJowner

What brand clutch kit to use?
I've never pulled one of them apart but I'd guess it will have a pilot bearing, I haven't ever seen a gearbox that didn't use one to support the mainshaft. The name brands are all good. Check if it has a duel mass flywheel too, they usually need doing along with the clutch.- KJowner

What does Trail Rated add to a 2006 Sport?
You summarised it perfectly with the emblem.... probably something someone's bought and stuck on. It might be a dealer upgrade, have a look underneath and see what's there, there don't appear to be any tow hooks but it's got the tow receiver that was added to provide protection for the fuel...- KJowner

How rare or desirable are the 5-speeds?
I have had both, the manual did more to the gallon but the auto is nicer to drive, I don't think the manual is going to be worth more.- KJowner

Shock Recommendations
I've got KYBs on mine, they have been fine. I don't think you will have any issues from any of the big manufacturers, just avoid unknown cheap rubbish.- KJowner

redneck me is calling(Trailer conversion?)
I've seen it done with cars and pickups, once you chop half the body off and remove the driveline you only have an axle and a bit of bodywork so I can't imagine it's that heavy. You could even buy a hydraulic hitch and keep the trailer brakes. Your lucky.... all that sort of thing is banned here...- KJowner

Stock LightBar transplant
I use CT1 for any holes in car bodies, it's miles better than silicone, seals permanently.- KJowner

So it's not making rail pressure on cranking? Are you getting any pressure at all?- KJowner

What did you do to your jeep today?
I'd have use devapo-rust if I had some its good stuff, Unfortunately I didn't plan ahead and they were a lot more rusty than I thought, I was just going to use a wire wheel but that wouldn't touch the rust on them! They are sitting in primer at the moment, 20 years of salt haven't been kind but...- KJowner

What did you do to your jeep today?
It works but its very aggressive, wouldn't recommend it if other derust products are available, very glad I greased the bits I didn't want the acid in contact with, it ate into any exposed metal. Stripped the rust off nicely but the Stripped steel flash rusts almost instantly when you remove it...- KJowner
