k, so i went to galveston this weekend, and when i arrived back home, i found that my whole driver's side was covered in some kinda fluid!

further investigation lead me to find this.....

seems that when i installed the 3-row rad. i shoulda paid more attention and bent the bracket that the lower transmission cooler line was rubbing on.

 

Can't really see what happend...

 

a closer look, the aluminum elbow was rubbing steel and well we know which one won, lol

gonna see tomorrow if they sell just the fitting, else i gotta come up with something (like maybe buying a 90 degree tube, flaring it out on one end to attach to the radiator, and then clamping a hose on the other....we'll see)

already bent out the bracket though to give whatever i put there some space so it doesn't rub, shoulda done that when i installed it though

 

Could be worse ha ha

 

yeah, i coulda burned up the transmission got it temporarily fixed with a rubber hose, got a new elbow on its way, and i already bent the bracket where it was rubbing. was able to hit up some trails afterwards, and the temporary fix held up great!

 

Hey Chex, where in Houston are you?

 

round the barker cypress & 529 area

 

got some shackle relocation brackets in the mail today from RC, hopin these will pop right in to smooth out the ride in the rear with a better shackle angle

 

so i'll be headin out to work in nigeria for a month, should earn up a bit of money for not having to pay bills for a month, so i'm starting to think..........

 

Have fun up there bud

 

thanks man, i'll have as much fun as i can bein that i'm in the middle of the ocean, no-beer on board, no chix on board, and 12hr shifts

 

Well the $$$ is worth it ha ha I'm building my jeep at 7.25 an hour, plus girls are vary expensive, and so is beer ha ha

 

hell yeah girls are expensive....but well worth it, haha

 

got my rc shackle relocation bracket in and put that in, we'll see how the offroad ride is.

 

got in my rc radius arms as well, hopefully this will smooth out the ride in the front! time to shoot it with some black paint
