IRO makes something similar, but it's pretty pricey... $200 or so with d-rings

 

Flushed the radiator and heater core. The PO only changed the oil. To all those that say, all you have to do is change the oil; s*** it.

This is what my Jeep's PO would call engine coolant:


I call it doodoo.

I was hoping that my instinct telling me to do a cooling system overhaul was wrong. Nope. Radiator, water pump, t-stat and housing, coolant temp sensor, hoses, fan clutch, rad cap... Coming soon, I guess.

 

Pushed this into the parking spot

Finished ordering my tax return parts for the YJ while I was at work today.
- Metalcloak Arched front fenders with 4" flares
- TruckLite LED headlights
- M.O.R.E. boomerang shackles (front and rear)

Should flex well once I disco the swaybar and torque the shackles to proper specs. The boomerangs prevent the front shackles from inverting and give more clearance in the rear so it travels more before contacting the rear cross member. I splurged and got the 5/8" lift shackles with greasable 9/16" bolts.

 

Good tip, thank you.

Found this:

Halfway down the page it says "Optional D-ring adapters w/ D-rings", so $170 for the setup and shipping to the north. Pricey, but better than being pulled out by my steering linkage, I guess

Sorry had to vent a little. Just driving my XJ down the road and my left front starts popping like the axle is broke. Left side only. Idk. I'll check it tm.

did the same...luckily mine wasn't that bad.

Headed to Arizona tomorrow from KC.

 

Got the title...towed home...then pushed into a parking space...and...? Okay, I'll bite. Whats the story with the 01? If I missed a post somewhere, with all the details, I apologize in advance!

 

[QUOTE=jake7;2771940]Whaddya going to do in Arizona and where?

 

Lol. I built a large barbecue smoker on a trailer... It was an unfinished project, and I had a falling out with certain family members, so what resulted involved me "relocating" my shop elsewhere. The smoker wasn't road legal yet and after holding on it for 8 months I decided I ll get rid of it. I posted it on Craigslist for cash or trade for a cherokee. Next day a guy emailed me saying he was interested and he had a 01 cherokee to trade for it. He said it overheated on the highway and he decided he didn't want it anymore. He casually told me that it had a cracked head (at 115k miles, and he had the entire engine replaced.) It got a blown head gasket, the mechanic at the garage where the jeep was parked at for months, told me. I don't know if the new engine still had a 0331 head on it or whatever. I ll find out tomorrow. My plans for it is to get back roadworthy ASAP so I can dd it while I build up my 99 XJ. Any tips would be appreciated.
