Looks sharp...how much did they charge ya for it if ya don't mind me asking? I might just end up using custom4x4fab since they are local though and any install issues I can resolve with them and won't have to remove my factory hitch...and can add a tire carrier later if need be..

Changed water pump, thermostat. Broke thermostat housing bolt, got extremly mad slammed the hood down and dented it.... Finally got the broken bolt backed out. Put eveything back together. Burped the engine, thank you everyone for your help with this. Jeep now runs at 190 NOW to finally see if it will pass emissions. Then off to California to college.

Painted the floors.

Putting in the passenger seat. Three of the four bolts were no problem. But the forth is a stud and it's a different size. I lost the original nut . The size is really weird. It is not of this Earth. I tried several different nuts but none fit right. I stripped part of the threads.

I will now saw it off, but I still don't know the correct size nut, let alone where to get another one. Any ideas? Is it worth going to a dealer? Or just weld it?

Get a threading die and make it whatever size you want. Probably smaller than it is NOW. Then you will KNOW exactly what size it is.

Over the weekend I put new brakes on all four corners and installed new wheel cylinders. Had to replace the self adjuster cable on the pass. side, and I'll be damned if Advance Auto didn't have one in stock. Dodged a bullet.

Off to the inspection station tomorrow. Hope it passes this time.
