The fans came to like 60.00 I believe but I had a few ebay bucks that I used towards it, the stainless sheet I had, the bolts I had.

Replaced motor mounts.
Changed oil

Lost that obnoxious grinding noise on acceleration when the fan hit the shroud.

Wanted to shoot whatever a hole decided that the oil filter adapter should have Loctite red on the bolt. Took a 2' pipe + my wrench to get it loose.

Gonna do the trans mount next weekend

Sweet I'm looking into them now I need new fans bad, the two I have now don't utilize the hole radiator and the temp starts creeping up about mid day on the trail.

I'll cut the corners a little and cap them then they'll be ready to weld in. They will be air tight and I'll weld a bung to them so they will act as tanks for my OBA. Also going to come off the square tube with some round tube and come out a little further like a lot of the sliders do.

Sanded all the surface rust off and laid down a couple coats of rust inhibitor and primer.

Removed my Roof basket and spare from the roof, put the spare in the back and minimized my toolbox, dropped about 150lbs at least and less wind resistance. Hoping to improve gas mileage and driveability.
