Drove it and enjoyed coolant free air!!! I was so worried my heater core was toast and the smell was getting real bad. Luckily the upper radiator hose was just loose!!!! So happy that's one less ****y job to do

 

Speaking of coolant, I was checking fluids and realized I have none. My coolant reservoir is bone dry. There was just enough buildup on the side to make it look like it was between FULL and ADD, but I have no idea how long it's been like that. At least I haven't exploded yet.

 

Trying to wire in the electric fan and figuring out where to run the wires so it looks somewhat neat. Discovered that it cools just fine with the 12 inch electric in the winter in MN : )

 

Took my friend has fianncee a ride home because some nuckle headed chick pulled out in front of them and they t-boned her. Saw the whole thing. To be honest. People have some friggin nerve some times.

 

Added coolant, so now I'm good. About to PB everything for the third time today, prepping for lift.

 

Worked on painting these bad boys!

 

Lookin good

 

Thanks.

 

So, I've had many offers but nobody came through. I still have the 96 8.25 rear with 4:56 gears, lock-right locker, and diff guard. $150.

 

Lucky I wasnt closer to you...

Drove it all over town trying to finish some last minute shopping and trying to stay out of the go pedal. Loving that new exhaust lol

 

Counted up all of my leaks. Valve cover gasket, pan gasket, oil filter adapter, power steering, trans cooler lines, and the new D30 Pinion Seal leak.

 

Fell more in love with it while changing plugs in my dad's Camry next to it in the driveway. Total pain, and found two plugs COVERED in oil.

 

Too bad its got 4:56 in it. I'm looking for one with 3:55 for now. Pm me. Maybe we can figure something out.

 

I'm glad I do... I spent three weeks in the hospital last summer and a few more after that in a full body brace. I can finally lift 20 twenty pounds. Doing good, but have a long road to go still. He wouldn't hear of me taking the ZJ to a shop. If I could do it myself, he'd just as likely been sitting here drinking my beer and hiding wrenches from me. Good friends. Can't beat 'em.

 

I'm jealous lol. Looking good
