it looks like you may need to still replace some more parts. radiator hoses. heater control valve? also check to see if your efan is pullng at full power. I just replaced mine cuz the motor was going on it. it had lost lots of it's power. also try flushing your block with radiator flush. there could be some blockage in the block somewhere.

your lower rad hose could be collapsing. also there could be alot of build up in the hoses. just a good idea to replace the hoses when you replaced everything else.

just because you replace something doesnt mean you did it right or that it can break within a year. what the degree on the thermostat you put in? if its 180 or 185 replace it. it supposed to be 195 i believe.

now did you check your eletric fan to make sure it is always running at one speed?? check it expecially when your jeep hits 210. what happens is your fan will start out strong but once the heat builds up, the resistance builds up causing the fan to run slower, therfore not pulling enough air to cool the engine with the a/c running. Like people asked earlier, does your lower rad. hose have the spring in it. the spring prevents the lower hose from collapsing. if it collapses or starts to collapse, this restricts cooler fluid from your rad to enter your engine.
