Ordered my new radiator and got it stuck somehow on a barn foundation while mall crawling in my backyard.
The fronts dropped off the foundation almost 2 feet onto a steep slope of loose dirt, slid, and got the LCA mounts hung up on the concrete.
This is what happens when I get bored and road work is blocking my driveway...funny because I've never been stuck on a trail, but I have 30 feet from my parking spot

didnt work for me.. i replaced every single thing in the cooling system. Then I put a new radiator in and BINGO im running nice and cool. I'd suggest putting the clutch fan and new radiator in at the same time. with the radiator out the clutch fan will be WAY easier to install.

Went to the Pick A Part and found the parts to make a 3" lift. Found a Cherokee with some parts of a Rancho 3" lift on it. The other parts I scrounged from other vehicles. Bought a new Wrangler rear brake hose too, to help with the extra stretch.

Ended up with 3" gain in the front and 2" gain in the back. No more rubbing.

Got a set of KC Daylighters from one of the guys at work for free.

We had an 04 TJ get traded in with the mounted where they wouldn't pass an inspection so management had him remove them. One doesn't work but it should just need a bulb.

Not today but the past few weeks:

Trim painted, rear bumper off (still not preped), got a set of steel 06 ranger rims ($80/all four) I'm having sandblasted for free and I'll be able to take off and redo the beat up stock honeycombs and tire up a little. I like the look of stock with 235/75s, but that does nothing for my intention of lifting by next year, and the brand new 225/75s I just got. I guess THAT's that Jeep thing, huh....
