could be from water splashing you did at the trail head. hopefully it dries out soon, check the battery cables and make sure they are clean could your battery be getting old?
a bit more of a description would also help us figure out what may be going on.

idk the battery might be the issue... sorry for the poor description... so ill try to describe it better...
so when i put the key in the ignition after it has gotten cold... and turn it all the way to start the jeep sits there turning over for like 6-7 seconds before it kicks over.... might just end up getting a jell-cell battery i heard a lot of good things about them

Could be fuel pressure bleed off.
With the Jeep cold, turn the key to the "on" position. You should hear the fuel pump prime for about two seconds. Turn the back to "off" then on again. You should hear the pump prime again. Try starting the Jeep after the second prime and see if catches sooner.

Does it crank at normal speed for those 6-7 seconds? You can pull the cap and clean it out (can't hurt) but it sounds like a fuel delivery issue. It could also be the crank position sensor - although when that goes, it's ususally a continuous crank/no start symptom. |

Oh, that diesel Wrangler looks like he's wheeling a golf course.

Frank's crankshaft probably has no position to be sensed
