JEEP!!! I would probably say flush the coolant system just to make sure everything is smooth flowing... then make sure all your fins on the radiator are clean... with some new 50/50 mix coolant... see if it continues to overheat while sitting still... then I would say that you could look into changing out the water pump and thermostat... as the water pump swap wouldn't hurt anyways....

Your drag link and track bar aren't even close to parallel. That's horrible.

trackbar/drag link + parallel = nice peaceful awesomeness

trackbar/drag link - parallel = HOLY F***ING ****!!!!! I'M GONNA GO INTO A DITCH!!!!!!

Something I noticed... Is your stabillizer bolted to the drag link? It doesn't look like it. It lookes like the stud is just pressed through the hole. Also.. Get a new, heavier duty stabilizer. You can pick one up on ebay for like 30 bucks.

I noticed that too. Make sure your steering stabilizer is bolted on and not just pressed in. Also if you are still having trouble with the radio you can figure out what wires are for the speakers by touching a battery to the speaker leads. Use a multimeter to find the power and accesory power wires. I know its a pain in the rear.
