So my old engine is finally almost out! just one bolt left, the top bellhousing bolt to be specific, the lil guy stripped himself. so itll be another weekend before the new engine is in. here's a pic, along with a pic of the brown dogs all mounted up to the new engine.

 

I wish i had that....

 

thanks man, i cant wait to finally get it in. another weekend and it should be partially bolted in.


on a side note, im thinking i should prolly upgrade my radiator while im in the process of doing this. so this leaves me at my next question. what are some good brands for an high performance radiator.

 

I know flexalite makes one with 3 electric fans but i have no experience with one

all i can say is wow, for that price that rad better never ever have a single issue. i like the griffen setup but even that at the $600 range is too pricey for me atm. im looking for something in the 200-300 range where i can get direct feedback from someone who has ran such a radiator. otherwise ill save for the griffen one.

 

Just throwing it out there haha

 

not a problem man, def appreciate it. any feedback is better then no feedback.

 

looks like the motor belongs in a Deere

 

Zombie lime green ftw!

 

haha brian ill take that as a compliment. my xj is white with alot of black on it with the lime green accents. thing looks legit in the woods with this color scheme let me tell you

haha darn tootin! takin on those Zombies in style!

 

this is as far as myguy could get this weekend, so close yet so far!!



also ordered up the CSF 3row, all metal radiator from radiatorbarn.com i will have feedback based on the company itself and the product after installation. i should also be picking up my AGR High Performance steering box from my local shop Endangered Species Jeep sometime this week. I had to get the input seal replaced.

 

Nice!

 

Thanks Man!! this jeep is my pride and joy.

on another note i was talking to a buddy who had a 3row rad installed in his jeep, thing destroyed his motor mounts and then his rubber rad mounts in the process. so i looked into it and crown sells a replacement product: http://www.autopartswarehouse.com/sk...gs+Best+Seller there only 16 and change and i know a guy at the store here in MA so i might be able to get them even cheaper. think its worth it to upgrade mine no matter what condition they are assuming there still oem ones from production in 99"? my guy hasnt taken out the old rad yet so weve yet to see what condition there in. again im just looking to 100% protect my investment here. opinions?

 

It Arrived!!!





On a seperate note though, i suggest for any future buyers of a steering box upgrade to stay away from AGR, they do not sell rebuild kits, or rebuild parts, when you have an issue no matter how small or how big to fix it, they require you to send the box back and they will fully rebuild it for $210 plus shipping. basically giving them your loyalty for life upon buying a box from them. i sadly have done the deed and will be sending my box back since i unfortunatly made this mistake.

 

I see you have a trusty parts running wj. Lol
