Default did a major Performance upgrade today

Yep ya read that right.. I can not believe the differance the jeep feels in acceleration and braking... getting rid of at least 75lbs of rotating mass does wonders...

the rad is a 2 core 19"x22" aluminum unit, i cut out about 2" from the lower support, the lower mount is 1.5 14g square stock, with 16g wing i cut out of some plate, the top has a a hole for the fill neck, i welded the factory angle piece to the core support as apposed to the bolts. the cooler is a factory ferd explore unit with built in tabs so i bent the tabs and welded in some pins for the cooler to center on when the support is bolted down, then i drilled some new holes for the volvo fan shroud to bolt to the support with the factory jeep fasteners

i just need to clearance the hood for the fill neck
and fab a block off plate for the open sides of the cooler to force air over the cooler
