Dropped it off at the shop and gave them a piece of my mind. They put in a new radiator, called it done, and charged me 300 bucks. However, I'm still losing coolant and there wasn't any leak beforehand. I feel like they just crossed off the first step for a problem and didn't do anything else.

They're running all the tests for free, and if they come up negative, pulling the cylinder head out and taking it to a machine shop to flux it. ****ers.

The New bumper arrived today! Incredibly built and it can take a beating! If you need a bumper check out littleleonard0909. He creates some awesome stuff and his prices are freaking fantastic!!!

Started to swap out the passenger side front brake caliper but couldn't finish due to the pain from my broken foot. So my Jeep is sitting in the drive way on a jack stand with a new caliper and pads all I have left is to bleed the brakes and put the wheel back on.

I got to get it running so I can drive it to the salvage yard to go pick up the motor for my celica.

I had to show my wife the picture of your bumper sitting in your living room so she could see that other people have Jeep parts in their house too, LOL

BTW, Nice looking bumper too!!

Started to replace my drivers front hub assembly. Two broken breaker bars and some swearing later, the jeep sits in my driveway with all associated bolts soaked in pb waiting for me to return tomorrow with a brandy new bar and a better attitude.

Fixed my LED dash lights for the third and hopefully final time. I put the stock bulbs back in for the turn signal indicators since the LEDs kept going out and were hard to see in daylight.
I like my blue glowing dash. Will post pics once I do the tcase and trans lever.

Found one on amazon dot com for $52 in case anyone has the same problem. Before you ask "why do I still have ABS on my jeep?", I just bought it and it is all stock. I will lift it and all that good stuff down the road but for now...
Some states (like Maine) its illegal to remove ABS... what a crock of ****.

Anyways, I added more coolant, and checked for leaks again.
