So much for the easy fix. I can't believe it rusted through like that. Going to the Jyard? Or new tank?

If the head gasket is good, plugs look good, no crap in the radiator, that would be my guess. Its happened to me before.

do not try and pull your jeep with those...you've been warned.

Either A) They'll tear our of the bumper and hit someone in the face, or B) Your bumper will tear off and hit someone in the face. Either way someone's getting hit in the face.
