Saw this on the YJ forum and thought it might be fun to try here

Mine has marked my driveway, my garage, my parents driveway, and anywhere else I've parked recently. I'm working on tracking down the leak. I just did my intake manifold gasket and it was pretty wet behind the intake. I might have. Leaky rear main and I know my oil pan gasket is a little leaky too. Those will get taken care of next.

I must be lucky, mine doesn't leave any marks, not even on my concrete driveway.
Check your fluids, they might be empty

When all of a sudden you get a gauge warning, goes from 210 to Max. Only twice this year, both on commutes to work. Have though thermostat, fan hub, no antifreeze, figured the problem would show itself, not yet. Park and pop the cap, everything looks good cycle the key and life is back to normal.

The fronts are Land Rover Freelander wheels wrapped in 225/65/16. The rears are JK Moabs wrapped in 255/75/17.

Those tires do fit under the ZJ without the lift. Just. The Land Rover tires are below stock for a ZJ, which means fuel economy and acceleration improve, but it looks stupid. That said, the JK wheels are worth more than this whole Jeep is, so you better believe they're coming off. I'm debating whether or not to put them on the Orvis. The Orvis still has its nifty painted Orvis wheels. But it's also an UpCountry vehicle, so I'd have 3" over factory and it'd fit these Moabs perfectly, with the lift installed. Mmm decisions decisions.

Maybe if I painted the inner edges on the moabs like on the Orvis.

The jk wheels fit without spacers or anything? Just direct bolt on?

No, they definitely need adapters. The ZJ is 5x4.5, but the JK is 5x5 as far as hub pattern goes. Also I think my rubbing issues were so non-issue because of the spacing added by the adapters. Those moabs are great wheels though. Plenty strong but also lightweight and stylish. And they're like 17x8, so they fit great tire sizes.
