Popped another starter solenoid fuse.

Not sure why that just started happening. I may return the starter for a new one as it is a lifetime warranty unit.

Also noticed a small leak from the passenger side of the radiator. Will have to investigate that at home.

I'm just fed up with the Jeep. The font end is falling apart right now. The heim on the trac bar isn't long enough so my axle is way off and the coil on the passenger side is contacting the unibody. All of my control arm bushings are bad. My tie rod is bent but I'm building a new one. My door lock on the drivers side is breaking. The clip that holds it in place just keeps falling off when I put it on. My temp sensor is broken. I'm just ready to junk it. I really wish I had a garage or even my own parking place at my apartment complex to fix it. Also a job would really help too...

Found the leak in the radiator. The PO had a new one installed about a year ago prior to moving the Jeep and his girlfriend down here from PA. Looks like a bad joint on the top cross tube where it meets the end cap on the passenger side. I'm afraid to braise it because of the plastic so I cleaned it up as best possible and packed the spot full of JB Weld. About to go refill the rad and test it.

Went to tire shop to get front end aligned and wheels balanced and when the jeep was up on the rack the mechanic asked why i was getting it aligned because it already was (I had just aligned it 2 weekends ago)
so i started telling him i thought that was what was causing my death wobble and he said well let me get under here and check it all out and then he grabbed the track bar and it had a bunch of play so he told me to go get me a track bar and put it on so i did and talked the advance guys ten dollars down on the price of a new one and got it put on after a pain in the tail 5 hours of work and now the daeth wobble did not show up until i hit a big bump at 55 but on the highway i had it up to 80 with no vibes so now i dont know what to fix next???
