Cant do anything today. Raining outside. Sucks because I was going to put the flares and all that stuff back on. Now I have all this mud but cant go play in it since my fender liners aint in. Crap.
After this get put back together im going to work on the MJ some. Now that I think about it, I left the hood open last night. That C101 connectors gonna hate me. Then again it sat without a hood on it for 3 months before. No wonder it doesnt run worth a ****.

Well I was outside bored today and found 2 CBs laying around. So I got them both working and decided to use the nicer one. Started making a mount to mount it on the headliner. Pics later!

Jeep did fine on the 20 minute drive to the El Dorodo outpost. Started going down to Deep Water and the Jeep overheated and blew the radiator. I checked the oil before we left and it looked fine, but apparently it ran low and overheated. Then we had my sister come get our trailer and stuff. Put A LOT of stop leak and black pepper and got it home. Started knocking. Apparently we OVERFILLED it with oil.
Drained some and now its not knocking but its idling a tad bit rough. Not too worried though. After I repair the radiator it should be fine.
Will be a lot more careful in the future.
Soon I'm getting more parts for it.
