I had a 6 speed manual Jeep Wrangler before my Bronco. I really enjoyed the challenge of 4 wheeling with a clutch. Now with the 10 speed auto it feels like cheating, but it is so much better.
We had an 06 TJ with the 4.0 and 6 speed manual and soft top. We loved it, did a lot of off roading and went everywhere but the road noise and the lack of security wore us down. I liked to drop the top in slot canyons, but I had my compressor stolen out of it even though I locked the doors, cuz...
I just found Quaker State Full synthetic at Walmart with the 2.7 spec printed right on the jug. It is only $20 for 5 quarts while Super Tech is $19. I read some studies that rated it better than most other 5w30 full synthetic oils.
