Worked on my lift all last night and am getting ready to go out today to hopefully finish it.
Hit AutoZone last night and picked up a new Starter, rear diff gasket and oil , swaybar link bushing kit, thermostat/gasket, radiator flush and coolant and some more undercarriage paint. Figured I may as well repaint the wheel wells while I had everything apart.

Cool it!
Ordered a new Heavy Duty 3 row Radiator, as well as a New clutch fan, water pump, thermostat and hoses. Project "Cool Cool Summer" has begun.

So yesterday I pulled the carpet out of the jeep wasn't to much rust pretty stoked for it being an 85' today I fixed the rust spots I'm going to herculine the inside pretty cool I think and I will also be buying my motor mounts ( putting a chevy 350 in it) and I don't know which else either the new headers or the transmission adaptor (which I don't have yet and can't find a used one for the life of me except at jy)
