Ha! My Jeep is such a spoiled, city girl! When she heard I was going to take her out to the desert again, she responded by leaving a big pool of coolant and transmission oil under the radiator! 
So yesterday, I ordered a CSF 2 row all-metal rad from RadiatorBarn.com. While I'm swapping out the old for the new, I figured I might as well replace the water pump. I was going to put in a new fan clutch, too, but then I got to thinking, "why don't I just do the mechanical fan elimination and electric fan upgrade?" So now I'm looking at Dirtbound Offroad's electric fan kit. I hope they offer a discount again this year, cuz if so, papa be spending some money!

Yeah, I saw that. Ouch! I didn't mention it, but I'm also replacing the power steering pump (it's been leaking and working intermittently), upgrading the headlight wiring (Putco), and installing Hella 500s onto the brush guard. It's like I'm redoing the front end, too!

Installed wiper motor. The new one came with unterminated wires and crappy inline connectors to mount to the existing plug. I soldered and shrink wrapped.
Next up radiator flush, thermostat replacement.
For such a cheap vehicle this is getting pricy. I've alotted my former car payment
