lol... I love how you made an effort to distort out your tag (except for the 420 - I see what you did there) in the straight on photo, but not on the side shot.

Very straightforward. You don't have to modify the caps at all... just have to drill the holes in your wheels to accept them... even have a template for it...

Now wash the blue crud off your tires... Seriously that's like nails on a chalkboard.

That is a really good looking Jeep!

What, where, I mean do you happen to have any plans for those old tires and/or rims? They look like they could have plenty of life still for another Jeep? Maybe?

Got my condenser out. That's almost 1/4" of dirt piled in front of the driver side radiator, which only has about 10k miles on it

I love the fact that he made an effort to stay legal on the window tint, then blacked out the lenses on the tail lights...

Replaced a weeping valve cover gasket with a Fel-Pro on the '98 (and the rubber grommets and plastic elbows with OEM ones from the dealer while I was at it. The original OEM were hard and brittle after 17 yrs).

Hopefully I'll have time for the oil filter adapter o-rings tomorrow.

Hopefully. Even if this doesn't solve the overheating, at least I'll have more room to install the combo cooler for my trans and power steering
