Hello good sir.
so little bit of an update on my baby. ended up getting the radiator, radiator cap, upper and lower radiator hoses, water pump, and fan clutch. a friend of mine who has a shop is putting them in for me cause i dont have to time to do it and i dont think my back would be able to handle it if i did (2 herniated discs and a pinched nerve getting fixed in a few weeks). the entire cooling system had mud in it, but no signs of oil in the cooling system and no signs of coolant in the oil, so hopefully that means no head gasket leak. so the system has been flushed and is clean now. just waiting for him to put it all back together. all together it was $200 for parts and he's charging me next to nothing to do the work. having a friend with a shop pays off now that i'm not a tech anymore.

Here's exact specs on the tires I wanna get
35 x 12.5/15 BF Goodrich A/T on 10 x 15 wagon wheels. 5 x 4.5 lug pattern. 3 of the tires have 75% tread 4th has 95% tread. will fit Jeep, Ford or any 5 x 4.5 lug pattern.
I know it says the three tires have 75% tread but it doesn't really look like it in the pics he sent me they look more like 65%. I'm gonna go check them out Friday and do what Gary said lol
