Not today but saturday I replaced my thermostat and thermostat gasket. The rig is running cooler. Before it was a touch before 210, now its running about halfway between 210 and the line before it.

 

Yea we have more TJ than any other but there are still a few XJ around. 1 is still broken from the last moab trip. and i am still waiting on my front axle to be ready for install. So i had to wheel the wrongler and tried to flip it. The wife was not impressed with the whole thing as she was inside when i did it. But the good thing is it came back down and i am still alive to talk about it.

The pic does not do it justice we are coming up the side of the mountain it is already a steep climb and then the wash out i was in put it straight up.

 

 

was gonna finish up installing my new hella 500s after a quick run to wally world for more electrical tap, zip ties, and ring terminals. went inside to get a drink, and now i cant find my keys...

 

Started prepping for my wife to make about a 26-28hr trip from RC, SD to Houston, TX through Denver. Swapped to my 285/75R16 Cooper S/T's (street tires) oil change, checked the other fluids anyone got any other ideas on stuff to check?

 

just be prepared for the worst. keep a jug of coolant handy, tools, jumper cables, duct tape, zip ties, first aid, and definately a cb radio in case you get stranded. make sure everythings running properly and you should be rolling.

 

Rolling forward; not rolling over...we hope lol

 

bring cash....so if you see something along the way you wanna buy, you can snag it! my dad got a 67 mustang that was rusty for 300 in SC on the way to beach one time and we came back and got a week later....now its in restoration!

 

Its got a full tool kit, oil, oil filter, tranny fluid, and coolant. From what I can tell everything is smooth running. I will be deployed and the brother in law should be flying into denver to help her with the drive home.

LOL nope no rolling over.

 

Put my RC 4.5" x series kit this wknd. Stoked to finally be lifted and on 33's! Next up...bumpers and winch.

 

How much lift did you end up with? I got almost 8" out of the same lift.

 

Got back from the jobsite to my office and found this. On the plus side I got these in the mail today!

 

New tires!!

 

Looks great.

 

I'm not sure on the total lift. But it's definitely more than 4.5 haha. I'll measure it tonight.
