Broke the 4 rear shock upper mounting bolts and the drivers side lower stud. Searched around the forums and fixed everything with all the useful information. I only broke one 3/8 drill bit and bend a 5/8 bit drilling the new stud hole.

I've done that to my '89. You will not regret it! Better cooling while maintaining enough engine temp to burn off moisture (overall better temp stability), and yet better heat in the cabin. Win-win, baby. Just a note: depending on how many clips are left on your air filter housing, I recommend removing the most forward one (relocate it elsewhere to maintain a solid airbox seal), as it is a P.I.T.A to undo with the new radiator cap in the way.

Thanks! I have a cone air filter at the moment, but i will be putting the airbox back in soon so i can install my snorkel. Thanks for the tip!
