Stood in front if it and whined like a spoiled brat.... Now my radiator is leaking. 
So this week I blew a freeze plug, oil sender, and radiator. Gotta bandage this up while I build my donor motor and upgrade my cooling system.

Changed out the passenger side caliper and new front pads. Froze up yesterday on the way to my parents. Guess thats what I get for not driving her for 3 weeks. Also upgraded to a ZJ tie rod. The stock one was bent.

Got done with drill early (or battle assembly or whatever the eff we're calling it this month) and had enough charge on the rechargable dremel to grind the "JINGDINGDACHENG" off the Chinese snorkel. I still need to work on some of the gouges I put on there (three of them are probably too deep to sand out, but the rest are pretty shallow) and then it's ready for painting and installing.
