Thanks guys. I can't take the credit though. Oliver at Garrett Fabrication is the man and the reason I've been able to make all this progress.

Found one of the coolant leaks that's been plaguing me. Unfortunately its either the heater core or a line to the heater core.

and this showed up. Not a bad day.

Dropped some gear off today and snapped a few more pics. Last item on order shipped today. We're getting very close to wrapping up this round.

The last of a long list of parts I had accumulated over the past year finally got installed over the weekend.

FlowKooler Water Pump, Thermostat and Highflow housing
Dirtbound Off Road Tri Fan Kit
Smittybilt X20 8 Comp Winch

Soo happy to see my sliders show up today. Now that they are here just a few other odds and ends this week and we'll be test driving come Saturday.
