Just remember your oil has to get to 212F to boil out the water that naturally condensates into it. Running too cold leads to other, worse problems... namely internal corrosion. Also remember your oil and engine can easily handle that 212F.

I did this over the last 2 days
Start....



Sanding.....


It's a Limited with gold emblems, I'm not a huge fan of gold so I did this...



And the end result.....



Now it needs to be 3 or so inches taller and I need to figure out the wiring for the power passenger seat, radio and windows.

Got an inspection, and went a little crazy with the rhino liner, did both bumpers front skid, grill, rockers and rear 1/4's good thing I ran out or I would have done the whole jeep



Its so good to have it all back together!
