Lol. Mine doesnt leak if I keep it a quart low.......but that never happens so.....

I just bought two new front hubs, two new calipers, and all four ball joints for the jeep. Hopefully that will deal with the popping....and sketchy delayed steering action it decided to start doing

Yeah it wasnt ever this bad tho. Both wheel bearings had a ton of slop so thats probably the culprit. But ball joints are cheap and easy so I figured why not

Its beast! i love it. well worth the money. the leak is only when running and on the drivers side so im thinking lower coolant line... its a slow leak but i had to pull of the highway today to refill! i shut her down as soon as the temp spiked.

Installed the new Apn header last night. There were 2 huge cracks in my factory exhaust manifold. 6 hours, sweat, blood, and lots of swearing later, all bolted on. I can feel a little bit of a power increase and she sounds so much better. I also must buy RATCHETING WRENCHES it would have taken me half the time.
