Picked up some rotella t5 at walmart for upcoming oil change. Figured I'd give it a chance. Well that an walmart didn't have 10-30 in stock and I didn't feel like going over a bridge again to get cheap oil

Didn't overheat, but ran hot and overpressured the overflow tank.
Heat wasn't working, found that my heater switch vac line got melted by a coolant pipe
and I need to replace this hose with a tighter fit, one end is 3/8 and the other 5/16 so its a squeeze.
Afterthought: should that hose im pointing to go PAST the expanded ring on the metal pipe?

Yesterday I finished welding on the T&T LCA mounts to the axle, cleaned it up, and gave it a fresh coat of semi-gloss black. Then I cleaned up the front fender wells, cut and folded the pinch seam, sprayed it all black, then mounted the T&T Track bar bracket.
Today I did the final install of the T&T Longarm crossmember and t-case skid. I had to trim up the shock mounts a bit to make the lower control arms fit, but after that everything lined up just fine. After cycling the suspension way too many times, I finally got the wheelbase set about right, set the caster angle at 6.5 degrees, and adjusted the track bar about right. I set the coils, spacers, and shocks in place and I must say... Its pretty

After 3 months of asking my wife "can you make the country decals for the jeep". She finaly cut them out at 12:30 last night. I got them on today.
What y'all think,

The Cherokee emblem will be coming off and I was thinking about putting this in its place.

Don't do the 4.8, get the 5.2 out of a grand. You won't be disappointed. It's what the master tech of my shop runs

That had crossed my mind before. But, my nephew got accepted to UTI and I was thinking about getting him to help me rebuild it and to stroke it. Once he grads from UTI.
