I completely rebuilt my cooling system last summer other than heater core. Probably needs a flush since that was 15k ago but running at proper temps is never overrated

I know you didn't ask me but I have BFG 31/10.5/r15 km2's and I love them. They do well off road and for a full blown mud tire they ride fairly well. Not much of a buzzing like you get with some tread patterns. I don't have any complaints or reservations and will probably buy them again when the time comes! And they look aggressive!

Cause i know they are a good offroad tire and that they wear well. I like how they look. I was just going to get all terrains but after seeing first hand how horrible they are in mud my mind was set on an m/t. I do plan on getting a car to dd later this year though.

As long as yall like them thats what matters. But FWIW Iv seen them in the thick swamp like stuff we have here and they are as useless as the nitto mud grapplers. I have found for the type of mud we have here and in goerga as well (sticky clay and slick clay) a staggered style tread pattern like the nitto trail grappler and pitbull growler type tires tend to perform better and clean out alot better then km2s. I have seen the km2s turn into slicks in the mud one to many times to consider buying them. So I went and bought some Super Swamper TSLs since they clean amazingly well for everything I will be doing or could wanna do. Just my 2 cents

I replaced my rear shocks with a set 4" longer. Now my shocks don't limit my down travel. Also installed 2* shims under the leaf springs. Next project is installing lower control arms. Also have to do something about my crappy shackle angle.

Well, since we finished at 2AM I guess it counts as "today". Helped a club member install Brown Dog motor mounts and brackets on his YJ. Safe to say I will NEVER do this mod again. A major PITA.
