Lots of good questions and I'm sure you'll get lots of good answers. I'll start. How do you wash the jeep? I always wash mine in my driveway unless there is allot of mud and I take it to the self car wash for that.
Can you do an automatic car wash? I wouldn't recommend it with a rag top. Too many places for the brushes to get caught and they may scratch the windows.
Zipper lube? Where can I get it? I use WD-40, you can pick it up at any hardware or auto parts store.
Do I need a different than original jack to change the tire? Your stock jack it really all you need on the trail. A hi-lift is helpful but unless you are experienced with it, I'd stay away from them.
Jack Recommendations. I'd recommend a hydraulic jack for home use. You can pick up one at Harbor Freight of almost any auto parts store.
I have an original spare 18in rim. Can I use it? As long as the tires are the same size as the others, I would think you shouldn't have a problem.
If it's not the same size around, you can still use it, just make sure you don't put it on the front. If you get a flat in the front, just swap it for a good one in the rear and put the spare on the rear until you can get it fixed.
For the zipper, rubbing a candle or for that matter a crayon on the teath and then working the zipper back and forth is a great way to lube it. The wax will not collect more crud on the zippers. For cleaning an old tooth brush and some soapy water works well.
