Yea. I posted in the intros last week with pics of it. I like it. It's my first jeep and as soon as I drove it up my driveway I tested 4L and climbed a little in my yard lol. I think it was an awesome deal.
I plan on changing the oil this week and adding Lucas additive to try and help it stay together for a while longer

CSF 2 or 3 row, or GDI are good if you're ordering. Radiator Barn is popular.
I bought one from Advance recently, and it didn't have the fittings. They also don't sell the fittings, and neither do the local hardware stores. I'm taking it back today cause I bought a better one (and cheaper) from a local mom and pop shop.

Yea it's not currently a DD. i don't want it to be. Just reliable for hauling trash, camping, wheeling and snow in the winter.
Interior needs redone, motor knock and it's got a terrible steering feeling. Lots of play.

Im gonna take the hanging headliner out, just because it touches my head haha.....
I kno they just replaced the steering box. The pwr steering pump has fluid all over it. I'm assuming it's the cap leaking but not sure. I'll be under the hood tmrw after work....

Thanks man, Fortunately for me, the underside of mine isn't as dirty as yours so it should go on pretty good for me. Hopefully your idea works and holds for a long time! I'll probably hit this next weekend since I only have half of a tank right meow.
