Replaced my water pump and lower radiator hose. Not sure which one was leaking, but now they're both new. For as easy of a job as that is, it sure takes for-****ing-ever.

Thanks, I built it from scrap. It isn't as heavy as it looks, but it can lay waste to a deer.

I didn't realize one of the bolts holding the water pump on drained the top end of the motor. I pulled that bolt out and had to scramble to get some buckets underneath the jeep in the right places as it was pissing antifreeze all over my garage.

I remember those days. Torch was my best friend. Have you taken the rear apart yet? I needed the torch on both leaf springs on the bushing towards the front of the jeep. Those sleeves inside the bushings love to seize to the bolts.

Checked all the fluids. Put more washer fluid in. Also had to get a quart of oil. Sneaky leaky....

I was going to go power wash it. But its going to rain tonight. I'll let it do some of the work.

i started by pulling the center console just wanting to clean it up, then i realized that i needed to fix the mount... then i saw a towel under the vinyl so i pulled the front seats and found a) the reason why the jeep smells kinda strange- there was a soaked/moldy towel on either side. and b)there is some rust in my floorboard (luckily its all surface rust!!!) so now im going to clean it all up, get rid of that rust, and repaint it. I just gotta figure out what paint im going to use, im not sure if i want to use just a regular paint or something more heavy duty.
