I would if it was using antifreeze but it's just running a little warm considering I live in the northwest where it never gets really hot out here. (below 60* today) still running above 210.

Well yesterday I got some new shocks and steering stabilizer. Also got some hella 500ff's that my brother bought for 10 bucks brand new at walmart, I guess they stopped carrying hella products so they were on clearance. Just got all the shocks and stabilizer on and wired up the lights and mounted em to the bumper

got the lights installed... what a bear... well I guess it took longer cause I built the light bar...

the lights on the bumper are brighter than my headlights... but not as wide of a beam...

the roof is on a lighted switch so I don't run them on the road by mistake

I salvaged a car remote start/alarm relay box and have 3 relays in the system... so no real load in the cab

also I have been having issues with the ignition switch... so now I have a push button start in the dash... still need the key to start it though












Push button Ignition

I took off the old rims with tires that wouldn't pass inspection and put on the black rims with good tires. Jeep gets lifted next month!

Thanks No rdplz for the use of your tools!

Drove it to Harbor Freight to get my belated birthday / fathers day gift...

11 drawer roller tool cabinet (US General - made in CHINA... LOL)

One of the coolest parts about it is that it comes with a finish that is almost identical to Rubicon Black.

35 bucks in gift cards plus a hefty discount coupon means it went in the jeep for around 100 bucks with tax.

Cleaned up and painted some shackles I pulled off a full size gm truck and installed them. I now have 4.5 inches of lift (in the rear) and 3" up front. Also I found out I will need new/longer shocks.

pulled the sagging headliner. I'll probably pull the carpet next and bed line the whole thing.
