it even had a tow hitch on it.At least you had a spare in case of a wreck
Check the blower box intake gasket, those are known to fail and make the passenger side floorboard wet. I resealed mine with some RTV and new hardware.looks like there's a leak on the passenger side. seems to be coming from the blower box someplace.
i'm going to guess there's a drain in the cowl that's clogged, backing water up into the cabin air box.
My heat shield was laying on top of the exhaust centre box making a clattering noise, I cut King size rectangular washers out of some scrap aluminium sheet and bent them to fit the deep mount holes. The shield had rotted out 4 almost perfect steel washer size holes where the original washers sat, I covered all the mount points in grease before assembly so I shouldn't have to worry about it for another 20 years!today's vehicular adventures:
- khaki jeep: removed the windshield and front window tint.
replaced the driver's regulator (it literally broke the housing, hence why it didn't work.)
gave it a good hosing down outside and in the engine bay.
pulled the cowl off and re-sealed the fresh air intake vent, as i'm pretty sure that's where the water leak was coming from. someone had already done the job that way, but I guess the sealant got old or something?- convertible: determined the backup lights aren't coming on because the backup lamp switch on the trans has failed.
all the wiring tested good and if I jump the plug to the switch the lights come on.- silver jeep: exhaust heat shield fell off while I was towing. recovered it. it tore/rotted out all 4 retainer points. need to figure out a Plan B for that.
- mininvan: needs water added to the cooling system. not quite time to start adding actual coolant to the leaky system as it's not cold out yet.
Bert's fixed itself somewhere on I-80 at 80mph on the very first desert trip I took him on!My heat shield was laying on top of the exhaust centre box making a clattering noise, I cut King size rectangular washers out of some scrap aluminium sheet and bent them to fit the deep mount holes.

Way to think of this situation as a glass half full, Sota.finally looked through the paperwork and talked to the prior owner.
radiator was replaced in May.
she came out one morning and found a big puddle of coolant on the ground.
(and here's where it got hurt) she drove it to her mechanic, and he replaced the radiator that had a "pin hole" in it.
she claims it never indicated an overheat, but with the sender at the top of the engine, it's very possible it would have never seen it since there was no coolant to read.
so among other good parts on it, it has a 4 month old radiator
