Good find! I need to score a deal like that.

 

I should note that the stock radiator was fine 99% of the time. Only time it would start to run warm was crawling through long extreamly slow uphill rock gardens. In those circumstances I would shut the a/c down and all would be fine.
The stock radiator finely expired at about 160,000 miles (litterally sprung a leak), which is when I put the CFS in, and did new water pump and fan clutch. Since I did everything at once, I don't know if it's the CFS, the new fan clutch or the new water pump that made a singular difference, or if it is a case of all three were needed to cure the warm condition off road.

4-wheeler supply is an authorized ARB dealer and can get OME usually within a week. Additionally, thier pricing is typical of what you'll find on-line, add tax, but save on shipping... it's generally come out a wash for my purchases.
I'm not pimpin' the shop, someone asked, and I'm relaying my experience.

 

Careful with 4 wheeler though they have a tendency to tell you what you want to hear reguardless of the real out come. I have been waiting for axel shims for 10 days when they told me it would take a day. I have since canceled the order and got them else where.

I should be getting a bumper this weekend I will post up when I get it on. I love this economy for buying parts...

 

Friday Night I shimmed the rear leaf springs to realign the drive line a little better, looks like I still am off a little or I have a bad u joint. So the SYE will be next on the list of mods. Its getting depressing dumping so much money in to this thing just to make it work right...

But its just like anything else. Got the bumper last night and I plan on installing it tonight.

 

Next round of pics coming soon. Bumper is on and I am currently repainting all the plastic with bed liner.

SYE is in the mail. I plan to use my front DS untill I can locate another one and get it rebuilt. I hope this cures my drive line issues. Once this is all done she gets tint and fulid change...

 

Nice rig!

 

Jeeps been down since the OLDMan EMU lift was installed due to drive line issues.

Well today I installed an AA SYE and all is good again.
While it was down I pulled all the fenders and plastics and painted them with bed liner. Also installed a rear time carrier bumper. Its really coming together now.

SYE install...

Why did you have to do a SYE with just 3" lift? A Rusty's T-Case cross member would have done the trick, less work. However it is always nice to have a SYE. The tire holder looks good!

 

I am not a big fan of the TCase drop and for $200 I could ensure if I wanted to go bigger down the road I could. I also like the idea of being able to put a front drive shaft in the back. With a long distance trip type of jeep I would like to have that incase something happens.

 

Did a little idle test today at work. Sat in the cherokee with the AC on in the parking lot and ate lunch while watchin a movie. Jeep did great only slightly topped 210. Oh and its about 90F already here.

Maybe a flush and some water wetter and she will be good for the summer....

 

sick ride i always lean more to the white color on an xj clean but can always get dirty!
imo would look amazing with bedlined bottom trim! jus my 2 cents

 

Tag light mounted as well as a flash light mount for the front seat. I need to get the CB in some where as well as an antenna for it. Looks like she will get here first long distance trip this summer. Tucson to Kansas as long as this Swine flu calms down...

 

Coming along nicely.

Smart man to be using a driveshaft that can be used at either end...

 

Update:
SYE is 100% complete finally. Got the new rear drive shaft so I can put the front back up front.

Put a tag light on the swing out and a mag light mount on the drivers seat.

Mag light



And tag light..


Installed...



Pic for fun. Nothing special...

 

Nice Jeep man. That thing is really nice. I'd almost be ashamed to lift that.

But I love the build and look forward to seeing more!
